Algorithmic Trading Using Python #9 - Twitter Trading Bot

This is the 9th video of my algorithmic trading tutorial series. Here you will learn how to import custom data into QuantConnect and use it for your trading algorithms. To demonstrate this, we will code a bot that analyzes Elon Musk's tweets to trade TSLA.

would anyone be interested in forming an accountability group? The group's objective would be to meet once a week and review what we've learned while also motivating each other. I'll make the discord server. Also OP thanks a lot for this video series, no one gives out this kind of information for free. Bless your soul

Hey I am new to your Chanel. I created a trading bot but want to create more into it. Hopefully when I finish watching your videos I’ll get some ideas.

It seems we could enter a position before market close (in the last 15 minutes of trading). So even though we've liquidated, we still have 15 minutes where we could enter new positions, and thus hold overnight. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the awesome and inspiring content!

How do you connect several strategies/setups in the same asset? Ninja Trader can't do that, is there another platform that can for USA Futures?

There’s also pluto hq? They support futures automated trading in addition. Not difficult for non coders. And simulated stock trading challenges.

How do you know exactly what time to add onto the Reader function to prevent lookahead bias, more specifically, how do I figure out what the particular "end time" would be?

[andersvestlimo]

Are you sure the datetime column in the tweets dataset is right?
TSLA are traded in EST at nasdaq and the Tweets have UTC? You would be trading at the wrong times?

Thank you for the videos, great start into the subject. I am not very experienced and I am currently stuck on an algo that tried to identify gappers in a universe with fundamentals. Is there anyway we could get a video in the future that tackels this or a similar issue?

Can you please make a vid about accessing Tiingo? I'm trying to download Tiingo news into QC research notebook to test a Keras ML algo, but I can't seem to load a news history. I have a Tiingo API and set it, but I get no news

What does the word “self” stands for?, because i see you use it in all the videos. Thanks!

Everytime i defined "tweet" as a variable i defined it as lowercase but still when i got to OnData it refused to acccept all lower case ".tweet"

Im new "ish" to programming ( I can write your calculators and hello worlds but no more than that) so im wondering. Why is this the case?

Just to be clear. The code runs as intended. Without errors just wondering why the above is the case

[nanjil]

hello i have a coding question

in your code
you have the line
content = data[self.musk].Tweet

where is 'Tweet' defined. The class MuskTweet returns lower case 'tweet'?

Hi, I have tried to code along. I get the error code "SentimentIntensityAnalyzer" is not defined. I have controller spelling and compared to your code. What am I missing?
