Issues for London Hackathon 2024

[saeedamen]

In terms of issues in finmarketpy/findatapy for work on the Man London Hackathon 2024 on 9 Nov 2024

• Trying to convert the various examples which use Quandl to instead download data with FRED in both finmarketpy/findatapy
• Check the crypto downloaders still work in findatapy (and fix if data is still available)
• Add more Jupyter notebook examples
• Add more market data sources (preferably free sources!)
• Add total return indices for different asset classes (already have FX spot, FX forwards and FX options, but would like more, like equities)
• Adding tests for many of the data downloaders in findatapy
• To do optional configuration using JSON/INI files for dataconstants.py (findatapy), marketconstants.py (finmarketpy) and chartconstants.py (chartpy)
• Adding new functionality for creating portfolios of trading strategies in finmarketpy, with many different algorithms (possibly using skfolio as a dependency)
• Add more trading strategy examples to finmarketpy (have only FX trend following now), maybe we can add some simple equity ones, intraday FX..? (don't reveal IP)
• If you have any ideas too, there's a lot of stuff to fix :-)
