Hi! This project was inspired by the Gamestop fiasco in 2019. Like many others, I began trading during the pandemic where I realized I'd need more data to make better decisions.
It scrapes options data from Barchart.com which is then transformed, analyzed, and summarized into an end-of-day email report.
I used Python, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, and a handful of other libraries to complete this project. The script opens a Chrome browser, loads to the appropriate URL, waits for the data load, then scrapes the data into a Pandas DataFrame. From there, the data is analyzed into a report which would be sent out in an email using a SMTP library.
