Describe the bug this menu when launching the pennystocks command should show shares of less than 1 dollar! that's the pennystocks.. right now it throws other information when that command is called penny-stocks

The source we are using is from here: https://www.pennystockflow.com

Do you have any API suggestion?

colin99d commented 2 years ago

Maybe we just rename the command to hotstocks? I think if they were super low volume you could maybe still argue it but these "hot" ones have plenty of volume. Any thoughts @JerBouma. This would probably be a 30 second fix.

@colin99d @DidierRLopes

I have no idea what I am looking at when I visit https://www.pennystockflow.com/. Why is this the list of "hot stocks"? I'd rather scrape something like this: https://finance.yahoo.com/u/yahoo-finance/watchlists/most-active-penny-stocks/

I know it's not ideal to scrape but what we are currently showing to me is completely random.

I think with the barchart Api which has many free features including pennystocks This financial API is one of the most important, as I told you on another occasion.

I am just gonna add both of these as sources. I will still leave pennystockflow, but a disclaimer will print when someone uses it.
