What it does
TraderAssistant is a Python-powered desktop screener that automates technical analysis across stocks, crypto, forex, and commodities. It fetches live multi-timeframe market data (Daily trend context and 1-hour entry triggers) via Yahoo Finance, evaluates 8 classic candlestick patterns and 3 technical indicators (MACD, Bollinger Bands, RSI), and ranks high-probability LONG and SHORT opportunities using a weighted confluence scoring system. Results are presented instantly in a native desktop window featuring interactive candlestick charts.
Who it's for
- Active Day & Swing Traders: Individuals looking to save hours of manual chart-checking by automatically scanning custom watchlists for high-confluence setups.
- Quantitative Hobbyists: Traders wanting a transparent, rule-based algorithmic screening tool built with Python, Flask, and lightweight charts.
What we learned
- Building a product that solves real-life issue with the help of Agentic AI from scratch.
- Designing independent evaluation pipelines for higher timeframes (trend context) versus lower timeframes (entry triggers) with confluence bonuses and penalties.
- Combining a lightweight Flask backend thread with pywebview to deliver a seamless, browser-free desktop user experience.
- Implementing parallelized yfinance requests to ensure fast scan times across large watchlists.
- Translating complex financial logic (candlestick pattern recognition, volume confirmation, and indicator thresholds like RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands) into clean, modular Python code using pandas and ta.
