Neat Market Newswire Hack

1 points by empirasign ↗ HN
main feed: http://twitter.com/empirasign_eq We have others as well: Forex, rates and commodities: @empirasign_fx Asia/Pacific Equities: @empirasign_ap Eurozone/London Equities @empiraisign_eu

All feeds run via bots scanning live market prices for interesting events and then post to twitter. Some examples are detailed below:

New trading highs and lows: http://twitter.com/empirasign_eq/status/8595406960

Trend breaking moves: http://twitter.com/empirasign_fx/status/8593969121

Breaching of support/resitance levels (pattern recognition): http://twitter.com/empirasign_eq/status/8592410800

Programming: Data crunching, pattern recognition coding, chart generation: R Twitter API, Natural Language Generation, market data manipulation: Perl (yes, unexciting, we are aware, but great glue language and a library for everything under the sun)

To do: Make charts dynamic and annotatable to increase social aspect of market news Create our own landing pages for new High/Low market events instead of bouncing to Yahoo or Google Finance New url shorterner via new domain name empirasign.com/l prefix is too long Raise funds to hire professional developers Listen to comments from the Hacker News Community
