Lazy Trading Part 5: Read Forex news and Sentiment Analysis

About this Course: Read news and Sentiment Analysis

The fifth part of this series will give you the ability to automatically read Forex Calendar for any specific event like US Non-Farm Payroll or when President Trump is going to have a speech. This will provide an ability to consider these events in your trading strategies in a simplest form of disabling the trading robots.

Additional research of this course will be about correlation of Asset's Text data Sentiment to the Asset's price in the future. This research will be conducted on two trading ideas*:

1. Sentiment difference of News Headers in the US, Canada, GB and it's their currency Pairs.

2. Sentiment of Twitter data relevant to Tesla Stock prices

As usual provided methods and ideas will help us to practice computer and data science skills:

• Webscrap news and analyse their sentiment for trading

• Setting up Version Control in our Projects

• Know how to automate our R code

• Text Sentiment analysis using basic Sentiment Analysis Polarity Scoring and NRC Sentiment Dictionary (8 emotions)

• Performing descriptive analysis of the Sentiment Polarity Scoring of the News Headers

• Getting Twitter data into R

• Deep regression learning to correlate Sentiment scores to the objective variable [performed in h2o deep learning environment]

*There is absolutely no guarantee that proposed methods will work!!!
