I've put together this project because I have difficulty staying on top of trends in the financial markets. This will constantly be a work in progress, but over time the project will cover the futures, forex, and stock markets globally in addition to economic data.
The current iteration of the project loads CME futures data from Quandl, charts the data on different timeframes, and can send an email with a pdf of the charts.
The project is designed to be run in a Docker container which can be deployed on your local machine or run in the cloud on a service such as Amazon ECS with S3 storage.
I find it easy to use Amazon Fargate to spin up a container to update the futures data and send an email with the new charts.
Docker and git will need to be installed on your local machine. To upload to AWS, you will also need to install the AWS CLI
To install, clone the git repository and build the Docker image.
git clone https://github.com/toolkmit/financial-data-monitor.git
docker build -t financial-data-monitor .
To deploy on ECS/Fargate, you first need to set up an S3 bucket with the name financial-data-monitor, then build the Docker image from git source and then upload to the Elastic Container registry.
$(aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region us-east-1)
docker build -t fdm https://github.com/toolkmit/financial-data-monitor.git
docker tag fdm:latest 096908083292.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/fdm:latest
docker push 096908083292.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/fdm:latest
Once the image is in the Elastic Container Registry, you need to setup your Fargate cluster and task definition. I'll add more on how to do this in a bit, but below are 2 resources that I used to get started:
