Usage

Transfer

In a terminal, run python transfer.py. Selenium will open a headless Chrome window (aka you won't see anything) and automate the transfer of all whole shares to your chosen brokerage.

Sell

An electronic payment needs to be setup for a sale to avoid fees and charges.

In a terminal, run python sell.py. Selenium will open a headless Chrome window (aka you won't see anything) and automate the sale of all shares to the first electronic payment option.

Multiple electronic payment options have not been tested.

Warning

This will transfer all whole shares to your chosen brokerage or sell all shares to the first electronic payment option.

Use at your own risk.
