Create a Trading Bot in 50 Lines of Code (Python Beginner's Tutorial)

About this lesson

In this video, we will use Python to scrape Wikipedia data and use it to create a trading algorithm in which we trade based on changes in the members of the S&P500 index. For this, we will use the QuantConnect algorithmic trading platform. Create your free QuantConnect account: https://www.quantconnect.com/?ref=towm (This is a referral link) Clone the algorithm here: https://www.quantconnect.com/forum/discussion/13745/web-scraping-wikipedia-data-to-use-in-your-algorithms-video-tutorial/p1?ref=towm Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TradeOptionsWithMe Check out the Full Algorithmic Trading Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtqRgJ_TIq8Y6YG8G-ETIFW_36mvxMLad SPY constituents dataset: https://www.quantconnect.com/datasets/quantconnect-us-etf-constituents?ref=towm DropBox custom data link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksi5liwjja8fxzv/SPYChanges.csv?dl=0 Note that you need to change the download (dl) flag to 1 inside your algorithm to access the data. I recommend downloading the data to your own dropbox in case of future availability issues.
