Null result for days which have no news articles on The Business Times

Scraped news article

Search result for USD on the 8th July, Sentiment Score: -0.1409

I have gotten a request from one of my readers of Algorithmic Trading using Sentiment Analysis on News Articles to create a general tool which would allow you to get the sentiment scores from web-scraped news articles ( The Business Times ). I previously used it as a metric in algo trading but I figured it would be very useful to people from the portfolio management or risk side of Finance as well.

Idea

The idea was to make it easier for non-technical users to get a simple -1 to 1 score on Excel, based on various terms they are interested in across different days. I would imagine this being used in portfolio re-balancing or even as an automated form of media monitoring. The web-scraping and sentiment scoring was described in my previouspost.

9 simple steps to get set up

*Windows only*

1. LinkedIn message me with your email for the project folder

2. Open sentiment.py in project folder
