I have started 04/20/2026 a GitHub project JonAKris/stock_indicators. This project currently only has python code to connect to the eoddata.com API, at the Gold Membership level, to download stock market data into a Postgres database.
I would like to try to figure out how to identify corelated stock prices that could provide some insight into how some stocks may be related to each other basic on rising or falling prices.
I saw a PBS special called “The Trillion Dollar Bet”. A famous stockbroker said that he noticed that when recycles cardboard prices rose, a few months later automobile stocks rose. Conversely, when recycle cardboard prices dropped a few months later automobile stocks fell. The relationship was that (back in the day) recycled cardboard was used as sound insulation in new automobiles. When the car companies were increasing inventories that order more recycle cardboard.
The same would go with road salt and winter. Governments purchase road salt for salting the roads to help with winter driving. Weather plays a part in this as well. The road salt companies have to build up inventories during the year for the winter season. During the build up their stock prices are under pressure as they are spending on inventory but not selling the product. During the winter season if there is a need for road salt due to weather conditions, their stock prices may rise, if the weather is good then the stock prices may fall.
The question is using the current level of artificial intelligence, is it possible to compare the prices of each stock against the other stocks, commodities and currencies to glean out any solid indications that if stock A price goes up/down, X amount of time later stock B price will also rise/fall on a quantifiable relationship?
The code in my GitHub repository was 100% generated using Claude Code. It took a bit of tweaking, but it worked without having to actually write any code. I have been a programmer, administrator and database developer for a very long time. Claude Code is like having a junior programmer working for me.
