Why the rapture?

This project operates on a very simple economic process, creating a tidal flood of returns. In fact, you can even apply this to your own real-life stock portfolio! Just kidding, this would never actually work in real life. To be fair though, it provides for some very real virtual satisfaction.

What's included?

This repository contains an API for communicating with stock market games in the Marketwatch Virtual Stock Exchange, as well as an example algorithm for computerized high-frequency trades.

To-do list

  • Clean up code
  • Reimplement regression-based trader example
  • Documentation
  • Get actual work done

Getting started

This python module requires the installation of nonstandard helper modules requests, gevent, grequests, lxml, and bs4. All of these modules can be easily installed via pip.
