This project is interesting; I think it is socially relevant given the political climate, and if explained well, can be useful for teaching the social factors that influence the stock market. As someone who doesn't know much about how the stock market works and what affects it, this project is definitely one that would help me personally. I especially like that the main objective of this project is to make the model useful in trading.
Some points of improvement:
From the proposal, the only information I gathered about it is that it is about the stock market. I know almost nothing about the stock market, and for people like me, the objective of this project is hard to understand.
It is also unclear whether tweets are the only factor, i.e. what are the "professional channels". I would also like more information such as who the tweets are from, and how this information will be aggregated. Web scraping and filtering through mass amounts of information might be required; it would be good to limit your sources to a few social media and one or two news sources (like NYT, Huffington Post, etc.). Otherwise, great work, I am looking forward to seeing the results!
