With my (medium level) python programming skills I want to write a small program to give me a quick overview of stuff i might otherwise overlook before entering a trade and generate it with one click. namely:
long term trends
key longterm support and resistance
upcoming significant news events
To do this I am looking for feeds or easy to scrape websites with up to date historical information (hourly and daily). I am not looking for large datasets of historical data or ticks. I tried Yahoo and Trading view but I did not manage to scrape them properly. since I want to automate it I would prefer that it does not require a login unless that could also be automated easily. does anyone know where to find this?
Thanks for the tips. But I assume those solutions would both require (manually) getting the data first to a platform and then exporting it? Anyway I found some websites which look like they can be scraped to make a screener/adviser.
I found some historical tabular data which could be scraped at myfxbook. and long term pivot points etc at barchart dot com (cheatsheet). I can not post any links though.
There is a whatsap api for python which easily send alerts. Also in the end I would like to have an automated trader running on a raspberry pi. which also uses python. And I figured building it in Python would also give me skills I could use outside of trading. But the switch MQL4 does make sense since it has a wealth of information and options available.
