Stock Price Simulator

This is an example project of:

• Poetry
• Python multiprocessing
• Azure Batch Service
• Monte Carlo Simulation

The simulation result might be not good as it is actually not the real focus of this project.

DON'T use it as a basis for buying any stock!!!

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Poetry
• Azure Batch account (only if you use Azure Batch)
• Azure Storage account (only if you use Azure Batch)

Note: Azure accounts are not needed if you run the simulation using multiprocessing locally instead of Azure Batch.

Installation

1. Install poetry(if it doesn't exist): pip install poetry
2. Install dependencies: poetry install

Run

Use multiprocessing

poetry run python stock_price_simulator/run.py

Use Azure Batch

poetry run python az_batch/run.py

Docker

You can also use docker to run the simulation, so that you can skip the poetry installation which is frustrating sometime.

1. Build the image:

   docker build -t stock_price_simulator .
   

2. Run in a container:

   docker run stock_price_simulator
