Added feature (Shows the latest orders from stocks ran on the algorithm through a watchlist)

[uatemycookie22]

I have added this new feature to iterate through a watchlist of stocks and return the latest order (which is on the latest date of the given stock history) for each of the stocks. Entering 'today' when asked for a ticket prints this list of orders. The 'Current performance' that is printed with the order is simply a percentage change between the entry price and the latest value of the portfolio that followed the algorithm.

Code:

watchlist = ['BABA', 'IBM', 'PEN', 'GOOG', 'SPCE', 'AMD', 'NIO', 'ARKG', 'PENN', 'MRNA', 'WMT', 'AAPL', 'SBUX', 'NKE', 'SNE']
for ticker in watchlist:
        portfolio, entry_price, control_value, algo_value, prices, days = run_algo(ticker, starting_capital, starting_shares)
        order_today = portfolio.Orders[days-1]
        highlight_color = order_today['Type'] == "Buy" and 'green' or order_today['Type'] == "Sell" and 'red' or 'white'
        performance = math.floor( (algo_value-entry_price)/entry_price*100 )
        print(ticker,colored( order_today, highlight_color), "Current performance: "+ (algo_value >= entry_price and "+%" or algo_value < entry_price and "-%")+ str(performance))

Output:

BABA {'Type': 'Buy', 'Day': Timestamp('2020-12-23 00:00:00')} Current performance: +%183
IBM {'Type': 'Hold', 'Day': Timestamp('2020-12-23 00:00:00')} Current performance: +%9

Submit this on a new branch? I'm sorry I'm still a little unfamiliar with GitHub. Do you mean making a new branch on my fork and making a new pull request from that?

[ryantcullen]

Yep that's what I mean.
