# Swing Trading Dashboard

## Dependencies

The dashboard depends on the following Python packages which can be installed via ```pip install```:

```shell
dash
dash-ag-grid
dash-bootstrap-components
dash-bootstrap-templates
pandas
plotly
python-dotenv
```

It also depends on the following libraries hosted here:

* [OHLC](https://moshferatu.dev/moshferatu/ohlc)
* [Plotting](https://moshferatu.dev/moshferatu/plotting)

## Running the Dashboard

The OHLC data used by the dashboard comes from IQFeed.

Assuming a connection has been established to IQFeed (via [IQLink.exe](https://moshferatu.dev/moshferatu/windows-automation/src/branch/main/iqfeed.bat), for example), create a file named ```.env``` and with the following contents:

```shell
IQFEED_HOST=localhost
IQFEED_PORT=9100
```

Then, run the following command to launch the dashboard:

```shell
python ./dashboard.py
```
