Help Complete a Python Trading Program for Schwab – $150 Payment!
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm in need of a proficient Python developer with prior experience in working with Schwab’s trading API (specifically schwab-py 1.4.0). My existing program is partially functional, and I require assistance to refine it to fully interact with Schwab’s trading platform.
### **Current Functionality:**
- **Authentication:** Successfully connects to Schwab's API and generates `token.json`
- **Account Data:** Pulls general account information, including the account number
- **Price Retrieval:** Accurately fetches the current price of an ETF
### **Required Enhancements:**
- **Executing Trades:** The program needs to be able to facilitate the buying and selling of stocks/ETFs.
- **Trade Information:** Capture and log trade details such as price, number of shares, etc.
- **Market Data:** The ability to fetch daily high and low prices for a given stock/ETF.
- **Account Holdings:** Retrieve and display the number of shares held per stock/ETF.
Trade execution will be limited to **Market Orders** only.
The stock/ETF details for trading should be automatically input via the API, not through manual entry or file reading.
If you can get these functions operational, I'm willing to pay **$150** for your assistance. Your bid should reflect your understanding of the task and the value of your time.
Skills and experience ideal for this project include:
- Proficiency in Python
- Previous work with Schwab’s trading API (schwab-py 1.4.0)
- Experience in developing trading algorithms
- Understanding of stock market and trading operations
If you're interested in this project, please reach out. I'll provide my initial program, which you can modify or discard and start over. This might take a few days to complete, because we will need to make sure buying and selling works during open market hours.
