A primitive predictor for the price of Bitcoin over 1-minute candlesticks. Due to the lack of proper hardware, this is accomplished using supervised-learning methods only.

• Live Price Prediction: Predicts the close, low, & high aspects of the current 1-minute candlestick using three supervised models

  (linear regression, elastic net optimized using grid search, logistic regression) running in parallel.

• Web Interface: Web interface that demonstrates the predictions and the actual values visually.

• Multiprocessing: Runs each model as a separate process to enhance efficiency and serve the live predictions in a timely fashion.

• Multithreading: API requests are ran in separate threads to save time.

• Automatic Data Fetching: Uses Kaggle's CroissantML format and other public APIs to automatically download and store the data in parquet format.

• Web Scraping: Utilizes a Socks-5 proxy through a local TOR browser instance to scrape live news from the DuckDuckGo.

• Live Sentiment Analysis: The scraped news articles are fed into FinBERT to get live sentiment.

• Live Data Collection: Live data is collected from various sources including Binance, CoinStats, & YahooFinanace.

The models require two forms of data:

Used for training and testing the models. Handled by the Data module. Sources include:

1. Binance
2. Yahoo Finance
3. CoinStats
4. WallStreet Journal
5. Macrotrends
6. Web Scraping

Used for acquiring the necessary information to predict the targets. Handled by the Observer module. Sources include:

1. Binance
2. Yahoo Finance
3. CoinStats
4. Alpha Vantage
5. Web Scraping

1. Install the TOR browser or provide alternative proxies in the config.json.
2. Create a config.json file in the root directory of the project. The structure of the file must match that of example_config.json.
3. [Optional] Create a virtual python environment and initialize it.
4. Install the project requirements by running the following command pip install -r requirements.txt.
   • Note that this project requires Python 3.11.8 and on some systems you must run pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

1. Start TOR, establish the connection, and then search at least once in the search bar for anything.
2. Change into the project directory and start the server by python . or python3 .
3. Access the web interface at https://127.0.0.1:{PORT FROM config.json}.
