Inspiration
To help solve a real world problem and have a large scale impact on the public.
What it does
It gives users a guide to understanding quantitative investing through forecast data decisions. Users can understand the likely behavior of cryptocurrencies based on past pattern analysis to decide on whether to invest or short the assets. The interface also allows users to build their own index, allowing them to forecast how their portfolio behaves.
How we built it
We built the backend using Python and SQL. We utilized Mindsdb to access the Binance API. The web interface was created using JS React, CSS, and Flask.
Challenges we ran into
Spent a lot of time trying to understand how mindsdb works, while trying to navigate through integration issues. Another major challenge we ran into was when two members of our team who were responsible for the front end decided to drop out of the hackathon yesterday.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we were able to get good forecasts of coin prices, meaning that it has real-world use for the general public.
What we learned
Technically, we learned AI automation, while also learning a lot about front-end development.
What's next for Crypto Forecaster
We look forward to getting data on stocks and index funds. This would amplify the use case given the magnitude of publicly traded stocks.
