An End-End Project that Allows my Twitch users to execute Trades for me, Through Alpaca REST API, from my channel chat terminal during streams and evaluate the profits on SPY close

Twitch-AlgoTrader

This Python project is quite complex and requires users to have at least basic understanding of Algorithmic Trading software structures and Finance. The project allows me to execute Novice Level Trades After considering recommendations from customized Algorithms modelled into web apps. I am a certified Financial Modelling Valuation Analyst (FMVA) from The Corporate Finance Institute & Intermediate Software Engineer that qualifies me to work on this project
