Build a Stock Market Analysis & Alert System: Day 3 - Automated Email Reports
Level: Advanced
Projects in this week’s series:
This week, we progressively build a stock market analysis and alert system with Python.
Day 1: Stock Price Tracker
Day 2: Technical Analysis & Price Alerts
Day 3: Automated Email Reports (Today)
Today’s Project
Welcome to the finale! We’ve built a stock tracker and technical analysis tool. Today we’re creating automated email reports — beautiful HTML emails with market summaries, portfolio performance, top movers, and embedded charts delivered straight to your inbox!
No more checking websites manually. Your personalized market report arrives automatically every morning, perfectly formatted and ready to read!
Project Task
Create an automated email report system that:
Generates professional HTML email reports
Includes market summary (multiple stocks)
Shows top gainers and losers of the day
Displays your portfolio performance (if tracking)
Embeds price charts as images
Formats data in clean tables with colors
Sends on schedule (daily/weekly)
Can be automated with cron/Task Scheduler
This project gives you hands-on practice with HTML email generation, data visualization, report automation, scheduling, and building professional deliverables — essential skills for business intelligence and data reporting!
Expected Output
When the program is executed a nicely formatted email is instantly sent to the user. Here is how the email I received about Google stock looks like:
And all that was done with Python. It means you don’t need to rely on external apps and tools. This is 100% customizable.
What You’ve Accomplished This Week
🎉 Congratulations! You’ve built a complete stock market analysis system and learned:
Day 1: Real-time stock data fetching with APIs
Day 2: Technical analysis and intelligent alerts
Day 3: Automated email reports with HTML formatting
You now have a production-ready market analysis toolkit that:
✅ Tracks stocks in real-time
✅ Calculates technical indicators
✅ Sends price alerts
✅ Delivers automated daily reports
✅ Works completely free (no paid services)
This is a tool investors actually use! Set it up once, get daily insights forever!
