Steemit Technical Analysis Dashboard Project Update

Ok, so I’m making some solid progress on this project and moving it along swiftly. In my last update, I added the ability to produce the Moving Average Convergence Divergence graph for a selected period of time with intervals of 1-minute. I’ve made several important changes in this latest update which I hope will make a difference.

Key Updates

• Interval choice: users can select to look at the MACD graph over different intervals. The choices now include 1-minute, 5-minute, 10-minute, 30 minute & 60 minutes (see below).

• Users can now select an endpoint which will produce a graph showing the MACD over the last 40 periods up until that endpoint. This will allow the user to look at past periods as well as the latest period

• Since the whole point of the MACD as well as other technical analysis graphs is to signal information to user as to the likely future direction of the price, I have included an indicator which will let users know if the market is Bullish (the MACD line is above the signal line) or Bearish (the MACD line is below the signal line).

Cosmetic Updates

The graphs now look more readable than before, since the number of intervals has been set to 40 periods. Below is a screenshot of the graphs for STEEM using 5-minute intervals. You will see the Bearish/Bullish indicator now sits above the two graphs.

Code to Create Updates

The full code is available in the project GitHub repository (brophymj/bitgeek). The screenshot below illustrates the changes to incorporate multiple time intervals. I would normally insert the code but the color-coding highlights where the changes were made (and you can view the full code in the helpers.py file in the GitHub repository).

The code to add the Bearish/Bullish indicator is shown below.

Next Steps

*Add more technical analysis indicators
*Incorporate notifications when specified thresholds are breached
