Once you've added your OpenAI API Key and Robinhood credentials, and run this bot in "Auto" mode, it will analyze your portfolio stocks and some of your watchlist stocks (if available). It calculates moving averages for these stocks, checks Robinhood analyst ratings (covering what "bulls" and "bears" say), feeds this data to OpenAI, and asks the AI to decide on actions for each stock (sell, buy, or hold, including amount). It then directly executes all AI-made decisions.
So be smart — don’t run this bot in "Auto" mode right after your first test. This involves real money, and there’s no cancel button! Begin with "Demo" mode, which performs everything as in "Auto" mode except the actual sell and buy actions, which are just printed as if executed.
Then, try "Manual" mode, where the bot asks for confirmation before each sell or buy action.
P.S. I still run it in "Auto" mode, and, to be honest, I’m happy with the results so far.
Welcome to the Robinhood Trading Bot! This Python script pairs OpenAI's intelligence with Robinhood's trading power to help you automate and optimize your stock moves.
This is a scientific experiment to see how AI can trade stocks better than humans (or at least me).
- AI-Powered Trading: Leverages OpenAI to provide smart, data-driven trading decisions.
- Post-Decision Adjustments (beta): Refines trading moves based on trade outcomes.
- Portfolio & Watchlist Integration: Analyze and trade stocks from both your Robinhood portfolio and watchlist.
- Customizable Parameters: Set trading limits and conditions to fit your strategy.
- Trading Exceptions: Exclude specific stocks from trading.
- Pattern Day Trader Protection (beta): Avoids PDT restrictions by considering the number of day trades.
- Demo Mode: Safely test trades without real execution.
- Manual Mode: Approve each trade individually.
- Auto Mode: Automate trades based on AI guidance.
- Workday Schedule: Align bot activity with market hours.
- Logging: Track bot activity and trade history in the console.
- Login to OpenAI: Authenticates using your OpenAI API key.
- Login to Robinhood: Logs into your Robinhood account with your credentials.
- Fetch Portfolio Stocks: Retrieves stocks from your portfolio.
- Fetch Watchlist Stocks: Retrieves a limited number of stocks from your watchlist, selecting randomly if needed to meet the limit.
- Analyze Stock Prices and Ratings: Calculates moving averages and includes Robinhood analyst ratings.
- AI-Powered Decisions: Sends stock data to OpenAI, receiving trading decisions (sell, buy, or hold) for each stock.
- Execute Trades: Executes initial trading decisions.
- Post-Decision Adjustments: Adjusts trades based on executed outcomes.
- Execute Adjusted Trades: Executes refined trading decisions.
- Repeat: Continues to analyze, trade, and adjust as market conditions evolve.
The bot's analytical system incorporates moving averages and Robinhood analyst ratings to inform trading decisions:
- Moving Averages: The bot calculates moving averages (50-day and 200-day) for each stock to evaluate price trends and identify optimal buy and sell points.
- Robinhood Analyst Ratings: The bot fetches bullish and bearish ratings from Robinhood for each stock, providing additional insights into market sentiment and potential price movements.
This is Robinhood's analyst rating system example:
The bot leverages OpenAI to make data-driven trading decisions based on the stock data:
- Input Data: The bot feeds the stock data (moving averages, analyst ratings) to OpenAI.
- Output Data: OpenAI provides trading decisions (sell, buy, or hold) for each stock.
