Flask Web Stock Analysis Tool

This project is a trading App based on python to run backtesting simulations and become a helpful trading tool. This tool is split into three main functions. BackTesting Trade Strategies, Displaying stock data, and set stock price alert. These functions are available through a GUI menu and allow navigation between the processes. The databases used throughout this application involve CSV files for simple local storage. The dependencies used for this program have been built into a requirments.txt file for simple instantiation. The APIs used throughout this project include yfinance, backtrader, NewsAPI, flask, and stock-price-alerts.
