Stock_Tracker

Inspiration 💡

I need to use the stock tracker to track stock price but I usually miss the notice on my phone and I like it more if it can notice me on the discord so try to make one

What it does 🗿

the idea is to track the stocks that the user ordered it to everyday it's for you to not miss the opportunities to buy it! that's the opportunity cost!! 💰💰💰

Challenges we ran into 😨

as I'm trying to make an auto stocks price tracker so I would need it to run every n sec/min/day basically, Schedule a Python Code to Run turned out it's harder than I think python worked synchronously and I'm trying to loop running function while running bot???!!! I would've needed to make it async!!!! 😱 I stuck so long on the thinking and searching how to pull it off I'm almost giving up on it... 😥 but I decided that I need to finish some core function even if I can't finish the scheduled running in these hacks I can finish that part later!!!😤

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I can finish the core function even in this despair situation when i use wrong tech for the job

How we built it

use yahoo finance API for getting stock data

def today_price(stock):
    thisday = date.today()
    data = yf.download(stock, start=thisday, end=thisday)
    return data

then next cord to handle discord API and then next job is to design the prefix that's easiest to use

$track quote > or < price
Ex. $track googl > 100

because of this style of prefix so I need to find ways to get the input from the whole strings so I decided to split them up

msg = message.content.split(' ')

now I've got stock_quote condition and target_price!!! and then I use it as input for comparing function

def check_price(stocks,condition,target_price):
    if condition == '>':
        higher = True
    elif condition == '<':
        higher = False
    else:
        return 'Please enter the condition as > or <'
    result = []
    for stock in stocks:
        if price_checker(target_price,stock,higher)[0]:
            result.append(price_checker(target_price,stock,higher))
    if result[0][0]:
        return f'now reaching!  {result[0][1]} price {condition} {target_price}  '
    else:
        return

What we learned

should've written the workflow first!!!!📋 then i would've use node for the job

What's next for Stock_Tracker

NEEDED to finish the scheduled running function asap!!!
