Stream Trader

Stream Trader is a Youtube based chat bot. It receives commands in the live chat of a stream and makes trades in a simulated 'paper' market. This bot is made possible using the yahoo_fin and pytchat libraries.

This bot was inspired by Joma's video allowing users in his live chat to trade by issuing commands to a chatbot. This bot allows only for standard buy/sell order and will not permit short selling.

All operations completed by the bot will be saved to a .log file.
