Status:<\/strong>\u00a0Alpha \/ “Works on my machine”<\/h2>\n

I finished the first version of StonkBot<\/strong>, my weekend project to help me stop losing money on crypto (hopefully). I wanted to build something that looked like those fancy Bloomberg terminals but ran on my laptop and didn’t cost $24k a year.<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h2>\n

Basically, it’s a locally run trading dashboard<\/strong>. It acts like a flight simulator for trading. You can toggle between “Dry Run” mode (which just pretends to trade using simulated money) and real API connections.<\/p>\n

I built it because I was tired of using five different websites just to check a chart, see the order book, and track my portfolio. I wanted it all in one screen.<\/p>\n

Features:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Provider Independent:<\/strong> It uses an “Abstract Base Class,” so you can plug in Yahoo Finance, Alpaca, or whatever. If one API goes down, the bot doesn’t crash.<\/li>\n
  • The Visualization Engine:<\/strong>\u00a0I used\u00a0Plotly<\/strong> to make interactive charts. It’s got:\n
      \n
    • \n
        \n
      • Heikin-Ashi Candles:<\/strong>\u00a0To smooth out the noise.<\/li>\n
      • Volume Profile:<\/strong>\u00a0Shows where the buying\/selling is actually happening.<\/li>\n
      • Market Depth:<\/strong>\u00a0A scifi-looking chart that shows bid\/ask walls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Simulated Portfolio:<\/strong>\u00a0It tracks your “fake” USD and Bitcoin balance. You can click BUY\/SELL and it actually updates your P&L.<\/li>\n
      • AI Stuff (Experimental):<\/strong>\u00a0I started adding some hooks for\u00a0Anthropic’s Claude<\/strong>\u00a0to analyze the charts for me. It’s still pretty basic, but the idea is to have an AI co-pilot telling me if a setup looks good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Technical Requirements (How to run it)<\/h2>\n

        If you want to try it out, you’ll need Python installed. It’s built on\u00a0Streamlit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        Stuff you need to install:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • python 3.8+<\/code><\/li>\n
        • streamlit<\/code> (The UI)<\/li>\n
        • plotly<\/code>\u00a0(For the charts)<\/li>\n
        • yfinance<\/code> (Free data)<\/li>\n
        • pandas<\/code><\/li>\n
        • pydantic<\/code> (Keeps the data structures sane)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Optional but recommended:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • scipy<\/code>\u00a0(For some of the math-heavy indicators)<\/li>\n
          • API Keys for\u00a0Alpaca<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0FMP<\/strong>\u00a0if you want real-time data instead of the delayed\/simulated stuff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            I will make this available as soon as I ensure that the data is safe and the app doesn’t absolutely chew up AI tokens.<\/p>\n
