Stock Trigger App

This is a windows app which will give you notifications when you set up triggers based on different relations that you provide. A sample file is provided as MainFile.py.

Useful Contributions

• Making a GUI which lets you add, view and delete triggers using PyQt5 (preferably, but if you have something, else sure, why not) [Priority - High] [COMPLETED - 3 Jan 2021]
  • Since this program uses threads, you'll probably have to kill the original running process and re-run with new triggers, if triggers are added. If trigger is removed, then no problem either
• Making this cross-platform [Priortiy - Medium]
  • Testing GUI across, Linux, and MacOS
• Comment the code, I'd prefer to do this later myself, but any volunteers are welcome [Priority - Low]
  • If you take up doing this, follow Numpy's Python Documentaion Format. Available here.
• Logging for GUI [Priority - Medium]

Note:

1. Please note that this uses the Linter as flake8.
2. Using noqa: E722 wherever bare exceptions are present.

Addition of Search and Trigger GUI!

I couldn't be more excited to do this. This is an amazing thing which I was able to implement in a decent amount of time, I suppose. There is a lack of style sheets, so please excuse me for that, but they carry out the rest of the functions quite the same way.

Search GUI

• You can search for any of the stocks by typing it's name followed by a click on the Search! button!

• After this go to either COPY SELECTED TO CLIPBOARD to copy the item you've chosen in the dropdown or you could see a more descriptive list on pressing the SEARCH DATA TABLE BUTTON

Trigger GUI

• You can add any trigger you want by adding the stock symbol after copying it to clipboard using the Search GUI. Use any of the relations add the value of the trigger you're setting and add any name you want. You could also set up a deactivate on trigger after it has triggered. And then press the Add Trigger button.

• For deleting a trigger, just type the name of the trigger you wish to delete and click the Delete Trigger button

• On Clicking the List All Triggers button you'll get a table like so that will show you all the triggers you've created so far.

Setting Up MainFile.py

I'll be introducing you to setting this up via Task Scheduler. This is so far exclusively for Windows.

• So, the basic idea is to create a Task using Create Basic Task in the Task Scheduler.
• Give it whatever name you wish, something like Stock Trigger. = - This must start on it's own on Startup, so the trigger must be set When I log on.
• Then it'll just say Start a Program, other options are deprecated, so ignore them.
• Then it'll ask you to set a program/script, now go to your directory for Python (this will be in C:/) and select pythonw.exe not python.exe for it to run in background.
• In the Add arguments option give the whole path of MainFile.py and for Start In give the directory of this project.

Using MainSearchFile.py

Here, you can get back the results for whichever stock you want to search, just edit the name of the company which you want to search. It will return a list of 25 top-most searches in the object.results. If you want to get a more comprehensive idea, you can check out object.resultsDataFrame where it returns a Pandas DataFrame about these 25 results. You can get the top most search string which you can then put in to the Trigger(), by getTopSearch()
