    What I think the truth behind the corona virus boogeyman story

    Upgrades and Downgrades on Bloomberg or Reuters

    In the last one or two years I've developed my own little automated trading system, connected to IB and triggered by financial news. I trade mainly on rumors, upgrades, downgrades, initializations and stuff like that. To feed this news into my system I've tried different sources, where the best...
