If you get a get_news() error when running the model make sure you're running alpaca-tade-api equal to 3.1.1 or greater. If not, run the following install and you should be good to go.

pip install alpaca-trade-api==3.1.1

I updated the README in GitHub so you should be sweet to smash it.

Expansion is key! My Set supervisor made a difference me spread my speculations over diverse resource Classes like stocks, bonds, and genuine bequest so that a positive charge code here can offer Assistance minimize the affect of aa negative charge code alter there Alterations

Instead of using your files, I love coding with you on each video. You are amazing sir! Thank you

[larsondavis]

Duuuude. Love watching. The quickness at which you move step to step is fantastic. And the breakdown as you're doing it is fantastic. Fantastic.

Been a member of your VIP group for a few months now, and I have to say, it's been one of the best investments I've made in my trading career. Thank you for all the incredible knowledge and support!

THANKS FOR EXPLAINING IT SO SIMPLY. I STARTED LEARNING HOW TO TRADE DURING PANDEMIC, BUT THE GUY WAS TELLING ME TO TRADE OPTIONS AND WITH DAILY, WEEKLY OR MONTHLY CHARTS

[CodingWithLewis]

Love the thorough detail of building this bot from beginning to end!

Legend ! As a soon to be CS grad and trading enthusiast, this is a very informative video. Gives you a different perspective to the market, beyond the human side of it. Market makers aren’t sitting at their desk entering/exiting whale size positions by the second, computers are…code is ! I started to learn pine script (still might) to utilize scripting on tradingview, but thank you for displaying an exciting way to breaking into quant trading with python . Thank you 10000 times, earned a new subscriber!

Hey, it would be great if you continue the RL journey of yours. Coding more complex simpy environments, applying real-life cases etc. I would highly appreciate it!! Thanks for your content!

I think you should have used floor() vs. round() to set the quantity. round() may round up to the next integer if the decimal > .5. That should cause an error since it will cost more than what you wanted to risk. floor() rounds down.

Very interesting code and explanation! I have several question: Is there any check on sufficient funds in the investment account? If the funds in the account is low, how would the bot react? Is there protection in the form of a residual reserve of funds for any taxes for the positions for positions that are already active?

[resresres]

This is only effective if you are looking at 1 stock at a time though. This method doesn't work if you are trying to look at thousands of stocks every few seconds at once to buy if they meet certain conditions for trading during the day. (I created a bot that does this).

SIr i am currently learning algorithmic trading through several courses, however I stopped by coincidence at this video and observed how really good you are ! BUt unfortunately as I checked your channel there doesnt seem to be much more about the same topic as I thought, you have general coding stuff. In case you made a training courses I would be delighted to join in it, or if you can make more trading related videos about algo and quant trading if possible .... your information is so precious . Thank you

[miguelzuniga]

I've made my own trading algo as well, but i'm working on a different way.. by using an image classifier to look for specific graph patterns from a bunch of indicators while scalping at the min, plus news

[Dr_Girthly_Baggington]

Respect to you son, i have wanted to do this for a long time but i dont have the skill in coding, .
I will follow and copy you. If i become wealthy... I WILL send you a percentage...
Thank you for your time and mind.

[OmaraAJ]

Love your content. Always edutaining. Is it possible for you to make like a series of vids where you build a real world applicable trading bot.???

I have been running this bot with a live account for a few months now, boots up when I start my PC, really cool watching the sentiment analysis and trading activity. Also setup a BTC version as well when the alpaca news api went down for a few days
