I automate most things I do more than a dozen times.
Marketing for my wife's uncle was a pain, so we automated CL and FB posts to fire from Quickbooks Inventory on a schedule.
I'm full-time remote, so I have a spreadsheet that tracks my expenses from a google form, does currency conversions for my location and forex analysis to tell me the best day to pull money from an ATM, tells me how much I have to spend on food each morning...
There's a script I send quotes I like to, and it randomly sends me one from the list via Telegram every day at 6am.
I'm also a swing-trader who hates staring at charts, so my watchlist generates via news and sentiment, then I run TA on that watchlist to send me alerts if a signal is generated, then all I have to do is hit buy/sell on my inline keyboard and it sends off a market order; it auto-exits after a target or stop loss is hit.
Recently formed an agency with a few other automation devs who do similar stuff if you want to check it out: https://weautomatestuff.com https://weautomatestuff.com
- dmak 7y agoI would love to hear more about your trading scripts and your TA assessment. Which API do you use?
- erikhayton 7y agoI write custom scripts for strategies, pulling data from places like Alpaca, IB, CCXT; charting using bokeh, plotly, mpl and other repos; zipline for backtesting... It really depends on the need; and the speed.

It may be too soon in the project's lifetime for any insights, but if there's any wisdom nugget you can share it would be really nice :)
