Select Stocks by Volume Increases | Beginner Python Stock Market Tutorial
In this one, let's create a simple python script which goes through a list of stock tickers and checks to see if their volume is trending much higher today than a previous period.
The idea is that if we know stocks that have big volatility increases, we can research them and see if we should buy in or not.
Sample CSV Data with all stock tickers:
