Updated ETF project codes

Updated ETF watchlist project

While watching a world cup match today, I updated my ETF watchlist project (you may click here if you haven’t seen it yet)

You may find the github code here. In the revision, I parallelized the crawling - essentially tapping on all the cores in my machines.

To create your own watchlist. Follow these steps,

  • Install R and R studio.
  • In Mac or Linux, type the following in command line git clone https://github.com/jironghuang/ETF_watchlist . In windows, you may visit the link and download it as zipped folder
  • Open the .Rproj
  • Tweak the input file to change your watchlist. Ticker symbol should follow yahoo ticker naming convention (e.g. VWRD.L for the ETF listed on stock exchange)
  • Ctrl + A and Ctrl + Enter. Or just click the run button in the top right hand of Rstudio

Note: For the auth.r section, you may comment it out if you do not wish to upload the crawled data in googlesheet.
