This is so interesting. I don't have experience with Google Docs or 
anything like that, but if Google Collab is accessible, I can surely 
figure it out.

I haven't started the course yet, but I am pretty sure that it's 
strategy focuses primarily on reading candlestick charts as well as 
support and resistance levels. (I'm not sure how these two things are 
used in combination yet). But I will have to find a way to get both of 
them conveyed to me in a spreadsheet.

Did you use the paid version of Chat GPT or the free one? We used to pay 
for Chat GPT, but I think my husband recently switched us to Grok 
because it is a lot less expensive.

I see that Alpha Vantage lets you do 25 searches daily for free. I am 
hoping that that means that you can retrieve however many pieces of data 
you want for any single stock (in that it is all contained in a single 
row of cells, for example) and that will only count as 1 of those 25 
searches?

So, as a simple example, having a spreadsheet retrieve each of OCHLV 
from each of the past 3 days for one stock only would count as 1 search 
and not 5 or 15 searches? If so, I'm fairly sure I can stay within that 
25 limit most days.

You just paste what’s given into a cell and then run the cell. If there’s multiple steps, you just go ahead and do the same thing for the following cell. and so on and so forth. I went and signed up for a free alpha vantage key so that I can pull the technical data I need.

So I asked ChatGPT how I could understand and do technical analysis with no vision. It was actually super helpful. It introduced me to alpha vantage and helped create Python code that I could copy and paste and then put into Google Collab in order to make spreadsheets and work flows that could turn the visual charts into readable data.
