Developing an automated trading system using Python is becoming an increasingly popular topic in the financial sector. In this course, we will explain how to create a simple automated trading program’s GUI using the PyQt library and provide sample code. This will help effectively structure the user interface and easily visualize trading strategies.

1. What is PyQt?

PyQt is a library used to create Qt applications in Python. Qt is a data-centric application development framework developed in C++, supporting cross-platform GUI development. With PyQt, you can create GUI applications and utilize various widgets of QT.

2. The Role of QLabel

QLabel is one of the widgets provided by PyQt, used to display simple information such as text or images. In an automated trading system, it plays an important role by showing real-time information such as current prices, balance, and results of investment strategies.

3. Basic Structure of an Automated Trading System

An automated trading system generally consists of the following components:

• Data Collection: Collects price data from the financial markets.
• Trading Strategy: A strategy that makes buy/sell decisions based on the data.
• Order Execution: Executes actual orders based on trading decisions.
• GUI: An interface that allows users to monitor and control the system.

4. Installing PyQt

PyQt5 can be easily installed via pip. Run the command below to install it:

pip install PyQt5

5. Sample Code

Below is the code to create a simple automated trading GUI application using PyQt. This example uses QLabel to display the current price, balance, and trading status.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QLabel, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton
from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer
import random

class AutoTradingApp(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        
        self.current_price = 100.0  # Initial price
        self.balance = 1000.0  # Initial balance
        self.is_trading = False  # Trading status
        
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        self.setWindowTitle('Automated Trading System')
        
        self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
        
        self.price_label = QLabel(f'Current Price: {self.current_price:.2f} USD')
        self.balance_label = QLabel(f'Balance: {self.balance:.2f} USD')
        self.trade_status_label = QLabel(f'Trading Status: {"Trading" if self.is_trading else "Waiting"}')
        
        self.start_button = QPushButton('Start Trading')
        self.start_button.clicked.connect(self.start_trading)
        
        self.layout.addWidget(self.price_label)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.balance_label)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.trade_status_label)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.start_button)
        
        self.setLayout(self.layout)
        
        # Periodically update the price
        self.timer = QTimer()
        self.timer.timeout.connect(self.update_price)

        self.show()

    def update_price(self):
        # Update the price randomly.
        self.current_price += random.uniform(-1, 1)
        self.current_price = max(0, self.current_price)  # Price does not go below 0
        self.price_label.setText(f'Current Price: {self.current_price:.2f} USD')

    def start_trading(self):
        self.is_trading = True
        self.trade_status_label.setText('Trading Status: Trading')
        self.timer.start(1000)  # Price updates every second

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    trading_app = AutoTradingApp()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

The code above is an example of using PyQt to create a simple automated trading GUI. When you run the application, it shows the current price, balance, and trading status. Clicking the start trading button will update the price periodically.

6. Code Explanation

• __init__ method: Sets initial values and initializes the user interface when the class is created.
• initUI method: The method that sets up UI elements and arranges the layout. It places widgets such as QLabel and QPushButton.
• update_price method: Randomly updates the price every second and displays the latest price in QLabel.
• start_trading method: This method starts the trading process by starting the timer to activate price updates.

7. Implementing Additional Features

While a basic automated trading GUI system has been completed, various additional features may be necessary. Here are some suggestions:

• Real-time Data Collection: Collect real-time price data via external APIs.
• Trading Strategy Implementation: Integrate algorithms that make trading decisions using technical analysis indicators.
• Order Execution Functionality: Add the ability to execute actual orders once a trade is decided.
• Log Recording: Provide the capability to save and analyze trading records and results.

8. Conclusion

In this course, we created a simple GUI for an automated trading system using PyQt and introduced sample code utilizing QLabel. Based on this structure, you can build a more advanced automated trading system and develop a program that fits your personal investment style by adding various features.

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in automated trading systems in financial markets. This is due to the popularization of innovative trading methods that utilize algorithmic trading and artificial intelligence. In this course, we will explore how to build an automated trading system using the PyQt library’s QInputDialog.

1. Overview of Automated Trading Systems

An automated trading system is a system that executes trades based on pre-set conditions, allowing traders to respond to the market faster and more efficiently than manual trading. Generally, there are numerous trading strategies that pursue profit in the market.

These systems consist of three main stages: data collection, analysis, and execution.
– **Data Collection**: Collect market data.
– **Analysis**: Analyze the data to generate trading signals.
– **Execution**: Execute trades based on the trading signals.

2. What is PyQt?

PyQt is a library for developing Qt applications in Python. It helps create GUI (Graphical User Interface) easily. Using PyQt, you can provide various input dialogs, buttons, menus, etc., for interaction with the user.

In this course, we will explain the QInputDialog class, which is used to create simple dialogs for receiving user input.

3. Introduction to QInputDialog

QInputDialog is a class that helps users make simple inputs. For example, it can be used to obtain stock tickers, trading quantities, selling prices, etc., from users. Using QInputDialog allows for user-friendly input.

3.1 Main Methods of QInputDialog

• getText(): Creates a dialog for receiving text input.
• getInt(): Creates a dialog for receiving integer input.
• getDouble(): Creates a dialog for receiving floating-point input.
• getItem(): Prompts the user to select an item from a list of selectable items.

4. Installation and Basic Setup

To use PyQt, you must first install PyQt5. It can be easily installed via the Python package manager, pip.

pip install PyQt5

A basic PyQt5 application begins with creating a QApplication object. Below is the structure of a basic application.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QWidget()
window.setWindowTitle('Automated Trading System')
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

5. Example of Using PyQt QInputDialog

Now, let’s create a simple application that takes stock ticker and trading quantity using QInputDialog.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QInputDialog, QMessageBox

class TradingApp(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle('Automated Trading System')
        
        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        
        self.input_button = QPushButton('Enter Stock')
        self.input_button.clicked.connect(self.show_input_dialog)
        layout.addWidget(self.input_button)
        
        self.setLayout(layout)

    def show_input_dialog(self):
        stock_ticker, ok1 = QInputDialog.getText(self, 'Stock Ticker', 'Enter Ticker:')
        if ok1 and stock_ticker:
            quantity, ok2 = QInputDialog.getInt(self, 'Trading Quantity', 'Enter Quantity:', 1, 1, 1000, 1)
            if ok2:
                self.execute_trade(stock_ticker, quantity)

    def execute_trade(self, ticker, quantity):
        # Add trading execution logic here.
        QMessageBox.information(self, 'Trade Execution', f'Trade executed for {ticker} {quantity} shares.')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    trading_app = TradingApp()
    trading_app.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

6. Explanation of Example

The above code implements a basic trading application. When the user clicks the button, a dialog opens to input the stock ticker, followed by another dialog for the trading quantity.
– The show_input_dialog() method takes stock ticker and quantity as input, and the execute_trade() method executes the trade based on the selected stock and quantity.

7. Adding Automated Trading Logic

In the previous example, you can add actual trading logic in the execute_trade() method to automate trades. For instance, you can use a specific API to execute stock trades. These APIs vary depending on the actual broker service, so you should consult the documentation of each broker’s API.

For example, a trading example using the Alpaca API is as follows.

import requests

API_URL = 'https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/orders'
API_KEY = 'your_api_key'
API_SECRET = 'your_api_secret'

def execute_trade(self, ticker, quantity):
    headers = {
        'APCA_API_KEY_ID': API_KEY,
        'APCA_API_SECRET_KEY': API_SECRET,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
    order_data = {
        'symbol': ticker,
        'qty': quantity,
        'side': 'buy',
        'type': 'market',
        'time_in_force': 'gtc'
    }
    response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json=order_data)
    if response.status_code == 201:
        QMessageBox.information(self, 'Trade Execution', f'Trade executed for {ticker} {quantity} shares.')
    else:
        QMessageBox.warning(self, 'Trade Failure', 'The trade has failed.') 

8. Conclusion and Additional Learning Resources

In this course, we learned how to use PyQt’s QInputDialog to receive user input needed for stock trading and how to structure a simple trading logic based on that input.
Additionally, we recommend gaining a deeper understanding of trading algorithms or strategies and expanding functionality by integrating various APIs.

Finally, for more information on developing automated trading systems, please refer to the following resources:

• Alpaca API Documentation
• PyQt Documentation
• QuantInsti

This course will thoroughly explain how to develop an automated trading system using Python. In particular, we will focus on how to configure the user interface (UI) using the QGridLayout of the PyQt framework. An automated trading system analyzes various market data and executes trades automatically according to pre-set algorithms. To implement such a system, data collection, strategy development, and UI construction are essential.

1. Overview of Automated Trading Systems

An automated trading system is a program that makes trading decisions based on algorithms. Market data is typically collected via APIs, and after analysis, trading signals are generated, which are executed automatically when triggered. This enables investors to trade based on data rather than emotional decisions.

2. Developing GUI with PyQt

PyQt is a library that allows the development of GUI applications in Python. Among its features, QGridLayout is a layout manager that arranges widgets in a grid layout, making it useful for designing complex UIs. By utilizing QGridLayout, various elements that users can input can be arranged logically.

2.1. Installing PyQt

To install PyQt, you need to use pip. You can install PyQt by entering the following command in the terminal.

pip install PyQt5

2.2. Basic Usage of QGridLayout

To use QGridLayout, you first need to create a layout and then add widgets. Let’s learn the basic usage through a code example.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QGridLayout, QPushButton, QLabel, QLineEdit

class MyWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.setWindowTitle("Automated Trading System")
        layout = QGridLayout()

        # Add widgets
        layout.addWidget(QLabel("Buy Price:"), 0, 0)
        self.buy_price = QLineEdit()
        layout.addWidget(self.buy_price, 0, 1)

        layout.addWidget(QLabel("Sell Price:"), 1, 0)
        self.sell_price = QLineEdit()
        layout.addWidget(self.sell_price, 1, 1)

        self.submit_button = QPushButton("Execute Order")
        layout.addWidget(self.submit_button, 2, 0, 1, 2)

        self.setLayout(layout)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MyWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

The code above implements a simple UI for an automated trading system. Users can enter the buy and sell prices and execute the trade using the ‘Execute Order’ button.

3. Data Collection and API Integration

An automated trading system needs to collect real-time market data, and for this, it is necessary to integrate APIs. For example, let’s assume we are using the Binance exchange’s API.

3.1. Setting Up the Binance API

To use the Binance API, you need to create an account and generate an API key. The generated API key and secret key should be kept safe.

3.2. Collecting Data via API

Below is an example of collecting data from Binance using the ccxt library.

import ccxt

# Create Binance object
exchange = ccxt.binance({
    'apiKey': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    'secret': 'YOUR_API_SECRET',
})

# Get current price of BTC/USDT
ticker = exchange.fetch_ticker('BTC/USDT')
print(ticker['last'])  # Print current price

The above code is an example of fetching the current price of BTC/USDT through the Binance API. Based on this data, trading strategies can be constructed.

4. Implementing Trading Strategies

Strategies are the core part of trading, determining how to analyze data and make decisions. There are various strategies, but let’s consider a simple moving average crossover strategy as an example.

4.1. Explanation of Moving Average Strategy

The moving average crossover strategy is a very common strategy that generates trading signals when the short-term moving average crosses the long-term moving average. For instance, when the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average, it is interpreted as a buy signal, and vice versa for a sell signal.

4.2. Strategy Code Implementation

Below is an example of implementing the moving average crossover strategy in code. This code collects data and calculates moving averages to generate trading signals.

import pandas as pd

def moving_average_strategy(data, short_window=5, long_window=20):
    data['short_mavg'] = data['close'].rolling(window=short_window).mean()
    data['long_mavg'] = data['close'].rolling(window=long_window).mean()

    signals = []
    for i in range(len(data)):
        if data['short_mavg'].iloc[i] > data['long_mavg'].iloc[i]:
            signals.append('buy')
        elif data['short_mavg'].iloc[i] < data['long_mavg'].iloc[i]:
            signals.append('sell')
        else:
            signals.append('hold')

    data['signals'] = signals
    return data

# Create example dataframe
data = pd.DataFrame({
    'close': [100, 102, 101, 103, 104, 106, 108, 107, 109, 110, 112, 111]
})

# Apply strategy
result = moving_average_strategy(data)
print(result)

This code determines trading signals through a simple moving average strategy. The trading signals are categorized as 'buy', 'sell', or 'hold', and the results are returned in a dataframe.

5. Integration and Connecting with the UI

Finally, let’s integrate the UI and the trading logic we have implemented above. We will add a simple feature to execute trades based on the prices entered by the user.

class MyTradingApp(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Automated Trading System")
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 300, 200)

        layout = QGridLayout()

        # UI setup code
        layout.addWidget(QLabel("Buy Price:"), 0, 0)
        self.buy_price_input = QLineEdit()
        layout.addWidget(self.buy_price_input, 0, 1)

        layout.addWidget(QLabel("Sell Price:"), 1, 0)
        self.sell_price_input = QLineEdit()
        layout.addWidget(self.sell_price_input, 1, 1)

        self.execute_button = QPushButton("Execute Order")
        self.execute_button.clicked.connect(self.execute_trade)
        layout.addWidget(self.execute_button, 2, 0, 1, 2)

        self.setLayout(layout)

    def execute_trade(self):
        buy_price = float(self.buy_price_input.text())
        sell_price = float(self.sell_price_input.text())
        
        # Apply trading logic here
        print(f"Buy Price: {buy_price}, Sell Price: {sell_price}")
        # For example, add code to execute orders via API

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MyTradingApp()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

This code reads the buy and sell prices input from the UI and has the functionality to execute trades based on this information. The actual trade execution code should be implemented through API calls, and users should refer to each platform's API documentation to write this part.

6. Conclusion

In this course, we covered the basics for developing an automated trading system using Python. We explained how to construct an intuitive UI using PyQt, collect market data via API, and implement a simple trading strategy. Developing an automated trading system can be complex, but by understanding and designing the structure, you can create a system that fits your investment strategy.

In the future, challenge yourself to improve your system through various algorithms and strategies. A good next step could be to apply machine learning techniques to develop a more sophisticated trading logic.

The development of automated trading systems is a field that many traders and investors are attempting for efficient trading. Automated trading systems execute trades automatically according to algorithms set by the program, without human intervention. This article will explain the useful QHBoxLayout of PyQt for creating user interfaces while building an automated trading system, along with practical code examples.

1. What is an automated trading system?

An automated trading system is a program that automatically performs trading based on predefined rules. These systems have several advantages, including:

• Exclusion of psychological factors: It allows for a consistent trading strategy without emotional decisions.
• Quick trading: It reacts immediately to market volatility to execute trades, helping to reduce losses.
• 24-hour trading: The program can continuously execute trades without human assistance, operating 24 hours a day.

2. What is PyQt?

PyQt is a framework that allows you to develop GUI applications using the Qt library in Python. PyQt provides various widgets and layouts to help users easily construct interfaces.

2.1 Overview of QHBoxLayout

QHBoxLayout is a layout that manages a group of widgets arranged horizontally. Using this layout, you can align widgets horizontally and place them with equal spacing. Since users of automated trading systems should be able to make various inputs, QHBoxLayout can be an optimal choice.

3. Basic example using PyQt

Now, let’s look at an example of creating a basic user interface for an automated trading system using PyQt and QHBoxLayout. In this example, we will build a simple GUI that takes stock codes and target prices as input from the user.

3.1 Installing the required libraries

To use PyQt, you must first install PyQt5 with the following command:

pip install PyQt5

3.2 GUI application code

Below is the basic GUI code for the automated trading system utilizing QHBoxLayout with PyQt5:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QHBoxLayout, QLabel, QLineEdit, QPushButton, QMessageBox

class AutoTradingApp(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        # Create Horizontal Layout
        layout = QHBoxLayout()

        # Stock code input field
        self.stockLabel = QLabel('Stock Code:')
        self.stockInput = QLineEdit(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.stockLabel)
        layout.addWidget(self.stockInput)

        # Target price input field
        self.priceLabel = QLabel('Target Price:')
        self.priceInput = QLineEdit(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.priceLabel)
        layout.addWidget(self.priceInput)

        # Execute button
        self.submitButton = QPushButton('Execute', self)
        self.submitButton.clicked.connect(self.onSubmit)
        layout.addWidget(self.submitButton)

        # Set Layout
        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.setWindowTitle('Automated Trading System')
        self.show()

    def onSubmit(self):
        stock_code = self.stockInput.text()
        target_price = self.priceInput.text()
        
        if stock_code and target_price:
            QMessageBox.information(self, 'Info', f'Stock Code: {stock_code}, Target Price: {target_price}')
        else:
            QMessageBox.warning(self, 'Warning', 'Please fill in all fields.')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = AutoTradingApp()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

3.3 Explanation of the code

The code above is an example of creating a simple GUI for an automated trading system:

• QWidget: The base widget for all PyQt5 applications.
• QHBoxLayout: Arranges widgets in a horizontal layout.
• QLabel: Creates a text label.
• QLineEdit: A widget that allows the user to input text.
• QPushButton: Creates a button to handle click events.
• QMessageBox: Uses a popup dialog to display information.

When the code is executed, users will see a simple interface where they can input the stock code and target price. Clicking the ‘Execute’ button will display the entered information in a popup.

4. Adding automated trading logic

Now that we have the GUI and input fields, let’s add the actual automated trading logic. In this example, we will use a library called yfinance to fetch the current price of the stock and compare it with the target price set by the user.

4.1 Installing yfinance

yfinance is a library that fetches stock data from the Yahoo Finance API. Install it using the following command:

pip install yfinance

4.2 Modifying the code

The code below adds logic to check the stock price and compare it with the target price to the existing GUI:

import sys
import yfinance as yf
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QHBoxLayout, QLabel, QLineEdit, QPushButton, QMessageBox

class AutoTradingApp(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        layout = QHBoxLayout()

        self.stockLabel = QLabel('Stock Code:')
        self.stockInput = QLineEdit(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.stockLabel)
        layout.addWidget(self.stockInput)

        self.priceLabel = QLabel('Target Price:')
        self.priceInput = QLineEdit(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.priceLabel)
        layout.addWidget(self.priceInput)

        self.submitButton = QPushButton('Execute', self)
        self.submitButton.clicked.connect(self.onSubmit)
        layout.addWidget(self.submitButton)

        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.setWindowTitle('Automated Trading System')
        self.show()

    def onSubmit(self):
        stock_code = self.stockInput.text()
        target_price = float(self.priceInput.text())
        
        if stock_code:
            # Fetching stock price
            stock_info = yf.Ticker(stock_code)
            current_price = stock_info.history(period='1d')['Close'].iloc[-1]

            if current_price >= target_price:
                QMessageBox.information(self, 'Info', f'Current Price: {current_price}\nReached target price! Proceed with trading.')
            else:
                QMessageBox.information(self, 'Info', f'Current Price: {current_price}\nDid not reach target price.')
        else:
            QMessageBox.warning(self, 'Warning', 'Please fill in all fields.')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = AutoTradingApp()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

4.3 Explanation of the modified code

The modified code fetches the current price corresponding to the stock code entered by the user and compares it with the target price:

• It uses the Ticker class of the yfinance library to fetch stock information.
• It retrieves the latest closing price of the stock and compares it with the user-inputted target price.
• A popup dialog is displayed based on the result.

When the above code is executed, users can check the current price for the stock code they entered and report whether it has reached the target price.

5. Conclusion

In this article, we explored the process of developing a simple GUI for an automated trading system using Python. We learned how to structure user interfaces using QHBoxLayout of PyQt and how to fetch stock data using the yfinance library. This provides users with the foundational skills to set up their trading strategies and develop systems that execute them automatically.

If you have any further questions or would like more details, please feel free to leave a comment. We will also cover more automated trading techniques and implementation methods!

The automated trading system is an important tool for many traders. In this article, we will explain how to implement a simple file open and save dialog using PyQt and QFileDialog. Frequently using files to input data or save results in an automated trading system is a critical function. Therefore, effectively utilizing these UI features is essential.

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Automated Trading System")
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

4. Example of Using QFileDialog

The following example adds a menu and provides a dialog for the user to open a file. It includes a function that outputs the path of the selected file.

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QAction, QFileDialog, QLabel, QVBoxLayout, QWidget
import sys

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Automated Trading System")
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)
        
        self.label = QLabel("Selected file path: ", self)
        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        layout.addWidget(self.label)
        
        central_widget = QWidget()
        central_widget.setLayout(layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(central_widget)

        # Add menu bar
        menu_bar = self.menuBar()
        file_menu = menu_bar.addMenu("File")

        open_action = QAction("Open", self)
        open_action.triggered.connect(self.open_file)
        file_menu.addAction(open_action)

    def open_file(self):
        options = QFileDialog.Options()
        file_dialog = QFileDialog()
        file_name, _ = file_dialog.getOpenFileName(self, "Open File", "", "All Files (*);;Text Files (*.txt)", options=options)
        if file_name:
            self.label.setText(f"Selected file path: {file_name}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

5. Integration of PyQt and Automated Trading System

Let’s learn how to integrate the previously implemented QFileDialog into the automated trading system. The following example adds simple logic to read trading signals in CSV file format and perform trades.

import pandas as pd

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    # Maintain the previous code

    def open_file(self):
        # Maintain the previous code

        if file_name:
            self.label.setText(f"Selected file path: {file_name}")
            self.load_signals(file_name)

    def load_signals(self, file_path):
        try:
            # Read CSV file
            data = pd.read_csv(file_path)
            print("Trading signal data:")
            print(data)
            self.execute_trades(data)
        except Exception as e:
            print("An error occurred while reading the file:", e)

    def execute_trades(self, data):
        # Implement trading logic
        for index, row in data.iterrows():
            # Implement trading logic here
            print(f"Trading signal - Buy: {row['buy']}, Sell: {row['sell']}") # Example output

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

6. Conclusion

Today, we learned how to integrate the file opening function using PyQt and QFileDialog into the automated trading system. Based on this basic structure, you can add complex trading strategies and UI elements. For example, you can enhance the system by adding buy and sell buttons, graphs displaying the current market state, and more.

Based on the examples presented here, try to create your own automated trading system and add the necessary features. Also, by combining with other PyQt widgets, you can provide a better user experience. We look forward to your future developments!
