I made a collection of tools revolving around NYSE data. The program, coded in Python 3, involves multiple parts and relies on historical stock data. The data was scraped from Yahoo Finance and a list of companies and ticker symbols was downloaded and made into an Excel spreadsheet.
The program has multiple supporting code pieces and a main part that provides information on ticker symbols. The information provided consists of the ability to find the ticker symbol of companies with a search functionality. There is also information on common ticker symbols and an explanation of what ticker symbols are. Both of these parts can link to websites using the web-browser library.
The supporting pieces include:
A program that takes the ticker symbols in the Excel file and downloads the .csv file for each.
A program that takes the data from the list of companies and symbols and converts into a dictionary.
Lastly, a collection of the calculations done with the data for each stock.
The main program allows the user to decide on what tool they would like to access. The two options presented at the start let the user decide between accessing information and finding stock information. The user can also open links to websites providing more information, and choose what information they would like to find.
This program is useful for people looking to learn more about the stock market, or advanced traders looking to find data on their winners and losers.
