Data gets pulled from the Alpaca News API in the morning, then it gets sent to all three models. You can see a summary of the prompt used to determine the recommendations here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42560034

It currently makes up to recommendations, since not all stocks support fractional shares (I'm only doing $5 per trade). As part of the buy recommendation, a holding period is suggested as well.

Once the holding date is reached, that is when the sell order happens.

Would love to answer any other questions you may have.

How does one trade $5 when the stock price is higher? Also what are fees on this kind of trade, and whith whoom
Done with Alpaca API, not trading fees

I only trade stocks that support fractional shares

How often is the holding period updated for a stock that’s already been purchased?
Currently it is never updated again with new info, this is one of the things at the top of my list to implement
