<aside> ⚠️
DISCLAIMER: I highly discourage using real money for this, and do not treat this agent as a financial advisor (or me by extension lol).
This is a fun tool for you to experiment with different trading strategies. You can build on top of this agent and come up with other ways for the agent to trade.

The way the copycat trader works is that one agent (Worksheet Creator) wakes up in the morning and creates a worksheet for that day. A separate agent, Researcher, wakes up several times (one for each tracked individual, e.g., Nancy Pelosi). It then researches what the politicians have bought recently and adds it to that worksheet. At the end of the day, the last agent, CopyCat Trader, will go over the worksheet for that day and decide whether to execute the trades.
Clone the three agents. I recommend organizing them into a separate folder.
You will need an Alpaca Account
Create a new Google Sheet and name it something like “Trade Log.” → This is where the researcher will drop the politicians’ trades. Get the spreadsheet ID from the URL e.g. below
You can also create a Google Doc where the agent will update the trades it makes
Optionally, you can connect your Slack or email to receive trade alerts
Then you need to set up each agent
