Just saw this on HN: https://github.com/maxbbraun/trump2cash (original post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13613826 ) Posted with no comment though it may be of interest to anyone looking to investigate sentiment analysis to generate trading ideas.
Good, or bad, who knows... as long as it brings volume to the stock... he's like Cramer on steroids...
especially like this comment: --------- willis77 2 days ago reply Can confirm. I've been running this bot for 8 minutes and currently have a $7.8 million short position against the fake NYT. SEE YOU IN COURT, @maxbbraun! ---------
On a serious note here... if anybody is really doing this... use the keyword "tobacco" and have it all set up to short the tobacco stocks. There's a list in this thread somewhere. https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/trumps-next-target-industry-to-short-drumroll-please.306214/ If he never mentions the word.... oh well. But if he does... watch out below. One word is all your algy needs to look for. Tobacco. And you make bank. PS... You might wanna use a couple different spellings, easy word to misspell ...trumpy could f that up.
@vanzandt do you think he can be pushed to say something negative? Say, if you would flush his twitter with remarks that Tobacco industry is shit etc... maybe he will respond by saying something like... "Tobacco industry bad for people, we should put huge taxes on them and make Americans healthy again! Very bad industry.... bad people there..." That would help your shorts
