pricefeed 0.1.0

A generic pricefeed generator with configurable deliveries and statistical info on prices generated.

PriceFeed

This is a generator for random price feeds that can be used to generate a new price at will or at predefined time intervals. The PriceFeed object will also maintain statistics on all the prices that it generated.

A typical use-case is in a development environment where you would like to mimic a pricefeed.

You can install the package via PyPI or from source.

Install from PyPI

pip install pricefeed

Install from Source (GitHub)

git clone https://github.com/smart-t/pricefeed.git
cd pricefeed
pip install .

Example: How to use this package

import pricefeed as pf

AAPL_ticker = pf.Pricefeed("AAPL", 235.0, 500, 0.001)
for i in range(10):
  print(f"{i} : {next(AAPL_ticker)}")

The above script will generate a new price every 500 miliseconds and completes a list with 10 simulated 'AAPL' stock prices starting at $235.0. The 4th argument is used to indicate how volatile the stock movement will be.

The generated prices are designed to stay relatively close to the given start price.
