Very cool. Funds have been capitalizing on Trump's tweets since at least December (but probably November) of 2016: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-12-07/flash-crashes-and-trump-trading https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-12-07/flash-cra... I'd be interested in learning why TradeKing was used , as I haven't used it myself - was it for an especially solid API, or just because TradeKing is easy to get set up and doesn't require a minimum investment? If anyone wants to play around with this and has at least $10k to play with, Interactive Brokers will give you better fees. OP, you might be interested in Quantopian's Zipline algorithmic trading library, which is also in Python: https://github.com/quantopian/zipline https://github.com/quantopian/zipline Also, I feel like there should be a disclaimer that given how accessible this strategy is (both in required skill and resources) and how much attention the Trump tweets phenomenon has gotten, any alpha from this has been almost certainly lost to other firms. This is a cool project, but it's probably not actually an effective strategy anymore.
