Automated Trading from Mailing List of Trades
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
We receive multiple emails per day, in a pre-defined format. Each of these emails reflects a particular trade that is performed by a famous investor. We want to do do the following three things:
1. Parse the emails from our inbox. Create a standardized format listing all the trades performed in any period (e.g. datatable). The parsed list of trades should also be available to us in tabular format for reporting purposes.
2. Apply some logic to be defined by us (e.g. checks for sanity of trades, how large they should be etc.)
3. Using the interactivebrokers API, automate execution of the trades according to 1 and 2
We would want to have this system (a) fully automated (whenever new emails come in, the trade gets executed) and (b) we want well documented and commented code in case we need to perform maintenance.
