Stock Screener

This app implements a few tools I normally use to find stocks.

1. Performance evaluation: Select a ticker and get performance metrics in a table as output.

2. Screener: Run a set of predefined screeners. It allows filtering the results using the available columns also.

3. Stop Loss: It helps define a stop-loss based on volatility using the ATR indicator.

4. Bonds: Allows filtering IG and HY corporative bonds using multiple variables.

Data

Price data is downloaded from yahoo-finance. The stock universe is the Russel-3000 index. It's possible to expand this but might need some changes to the R code.

The script: jobs/get_historical_prices.R downloads the data the app needs to work faster. It will save a file in data/prices.rds

Bonds data is not updated automatically. I'll try to update the data/bonds_data.rds every few weeks. It's a bit harder to get that data therefore I can't put up a script to automate it.
