Document which direction you are trading in based on sentiment

It's not clear from the current docs whether you buy or sell stock for a company that Trump complains about.

You should state your bias about your expectation about Trump's tweets effect on stock prices. (Note that Nordstorm stock went up after Trump complained about them).

Perhaps it depends on whether or not he actually has the political power to follow his tweets?

It may not be in the docs but it's right there in trading.py

It should be in the README. If you are going to bet money on someone's advice, it's important to know upfront whether you are betting for or against the advice!

@markstos You meant we should document what the bot should do following a Trump's tweet? e.g. (in README would be) if Trump says good things about a company, then the bot will go long on the company, and vice versa.

from README

automatically executes trades on the relevant stocks according to the expected market reaction

I agree this is a bit ambiguous, but not quite when it comes to Trump the President :D

@markstos if you are going to run an open source bot that spends your own money, you should check out the code and not just trust the readme anyway :p
