TradingBot2 (first working iteration)

This is my first WORKING bit of Python code that was designed to open doors for me into developing a Trading Bot that can make live trades on some given exchange, 24/7, on my behalf.

Getting Started

In terms of how to install, configure, and execute the project, unless I'm mistaken one can simply copy/paste the Python code I created for the project.

Prerequisites

Prior to running the project, you will need to (use the pip feature?) to (install?) the backtrader, pandas, and Quandl (libraries?).

Installation

Not sure what to put here and this is a straightforward project AND my first one.

Usage

This program will produce the theoretical Final Value of a series of trades using the Apple, Inc. stock during a 5-year timeframe in the past, if it had occurred as my code has been instructed to behave.

Acknowledgements

In addition to backtrader, pandas, Quandl, I also used the NASDAQ website. Finally, I leaned heavily on the knowledge and experience of my mentor, Matthew Sevey. Thank you!
