Try NOW: Your First Bot (copy and paste, 2 minutes)
This bot detected the SVB crash before the news.
Open Google Colab (it’s free) and paste this:
# Install libraries
!pip install yfinance matplotlib
# Your first quantitative analysis
import yfinance as yf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Download Apple data
data = yf.download('AAPL', period='1y')
# Simple strategy: Moving average
data['MA20'] = data['Close'].rolling(20).mean()
# Create chart
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
plt.plot(data.index, data['Close'], label='AAPL Price')
plt.plot(data.index, data['MA20'], label='20-Day Moving Average')
plt.title('Your First Quant Analysis - Apple')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
# Real trading system
signal = 'BUY' if data['Close'][-1] > data['MA20'][-1] else 'SELL'
strength = abs(data['Close'][-1] - data['MA20'][-1]) / data['MA20'][-1] * 100
print(f"COMPLETE APPLE ANALYSIS:")
print(f"Price: ${data['Close'][-1]:.2f}")
print(f"20d Average: ${data['MA20'][-1]:.2f}")
print(f"Signal: {'BUY' if signal == 'BUY' else 'SELL'}")
print(f"Strength: {strength:.1f}% {'(STRONG)' if strength > 2 else '(WEAK)'}")
print(f"\nWith $1000 you would have made ${(1000 * data['Close'][-1] / data['Close'][0] - 1000):.2f}")
BOOM! You just analyzed Apple like a hedge fund.
See that number at the end? That could be your profit. Now imagine 100 bots doing this 24/7 with 1000 different stocks.
