Mistermarket.io is a personal project. It scratches my itch for playing with market data.
The name is inspired by Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor. In the book Graham describes a fictional character Mr. Market. Mr. Market is a tool for thinking about the chaotic and sometimes irrational behavior in markets. Imagine you have a emotionally unstable business partner. Your partner routinely offers to buy your stake in the business or sell you his. Due to Mr. Market's instability, the price varies from day to day based on his emotions. Most of the time it is fairly consistent. However, when Mr. Market is in a great mood you might get a premium offer for your stake. Bad mood? Mr. Market is going to make an offer below fair value.
Mistermarket.io is built with Python. The core of the site uses Flask, a simple and powerful framework for building web applications. Most charts are built using Plotly. Databases when used are on Postgresql.
