Creating a stock market automation system that alerts you based on news about your holdings and suggests actions with probabilities involves several components. Here’s a step-by-step flow to build such a system:
1. Define the Core Components
-
Stock Holdings Data
- A list of your stocks (tickers) with quantity, buy price, and other relevant details.
-
News Aggregation
- Scrape or fetch financial news related to your holdings using APIs like:
- Alpha Vantage
- Yahoo Finance
- Google News RSS
- Finnhub
- NewsAPI.org
- Scrape or fetch financial news related to your holdings using APIs like:
-
Sentiment Analysis & AI Model for Prediction
- Use NLP models (like OpenAI’s GPT, BERT, or FinBERT) to analyze news sentiment.
- Train a model on past data to predict buy/sell probability based on news tone.
-
Alert System
- Push notifications / SMS / WhatsApp / Telegram / Email alerts when action is recommended.
-
Trading API Integration (Optional for Auto-Trading)
- Integrate with Zerodha Kite, Upstox, Alpaca, TD Ameritrade for automated trading.
2. Flow of Automation
Step 1: Data Collection
- Fetch stock holdings from your broker or a manual file (Google Sheet, CSV, Database).
- Pull latest news headlines for each stock every hour/day.
- Extract social media trends (Twitter, StockTwits, Reddit, etc.).
Step 2: Sentiment & Probability Analysis
-
Analyze News Sentiment
- Tokenize text and classify it as positive, neutral, or negative.
- Example: “Apple’s new iPhone sales surge” → Positive → Buy Probability: 80%
- Example: “Tesla under SEC investigation” → Negative → Sell Probability: 90%
-
Calculate Probabilities using ML Models
- Train a model using historical stock data and news impact.
- Use logistic regression, decision trees, or deep learning (LSTMs).
Step 3: Generate Alerts
- If sentiment exceeds a threshold, send an alert:
- Buy Alert: Stock is likely to rise with 80% confidence.
- Sell Alert: Stock may drop with 85% confidence.
- Hold Alert: No strong signal.
Step 4: Execution (Optional)
- Manual Action: Receive an alert and manually place a trade.
- Automated Trading (Optional): Execute trades via broker API if probability > set threshold.
3. Tech Stack
| Component | Suggested Tools/Platforms |
|---|---|
| News Scraping | NewsAPI, Alpha Vantage, Google News RSS |
| Sentiment Analysis | NLTK, Vader, FinBERT, OpenAI API |
| Stock Data | Yahoo Finance, Alpha Vantage, Alpaca |

4. Implementation Plan
Phase 1: Data Collection
- Get a list of your holdings.
- Fetch stock news headlines.
Phase 2: NLP Sentiment Analysis
- Classify news as positive/negative.
- Assign buy/sell probability.
Phase 3: Alert System
- Set up a cron job to check for new alerts.
- Send alerts via Telegram/Email/SMS.
Phase 4: Auto-Trading (Optional)
- If confidence is high, execute trade using a broker API.
