(I know this is just for fun, but...) I believe this won't work because of high-frequency trading. By the few seconds this latent python script will take to get the tweet, analyze the tweet, and execute a trade, high-speed bots will have already done something similar to a price level they decided was appropriate using sophisticated algorithms.
So basically, instead of this bot betting that Trump's tweets will change stock prices, you're actually betting on the HFT bots being wrong about how much Trump's tweets change stock prices.
- Paradigma11 10y agoThis implies that HFT algos know of Trumps tweets. Is this really done?
