## Overview
The **Oil Oracle 1.0** system is designed to analyze market sentiment, volatility, and technical patterns in real-time to make informed trading decisions. The following step-by-step guide outlines each module of the system, detailing how these components will work together to identify optimal trading opportunities.

## Step-by-Step Development
### Step 1: News Scraper and Sentiment Analysis
**Objective**: Scrape and analyze relevant oil news to determine market sentiment at 9:29 a.m. EST daily.
- **Source Selection**: Choose reliable oil news sources (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, OilPrice.com).
- **Scraping**:
- Schedule a web scraper to pull relevant articles daily.
- Include robust error handling, using proxies and custom user agents to prevent blocking.
- **Sentiment Analysis**:
- **Text Preprocessing**: Clean and standardize text data by removing HTML tags, punctuation, and irrelevant symbols.
- **NLP Model**: Use a model like BERT to determine sentiment.
- Assign -1 for positive and +1 for negative sentiment based on expected price movements.
- **Confidence Score**: Output a decimal confidence score to reflect sentiment strength (e.g., -0.8 for strong positive, +0.4 for moderate negative).
- **Backtesting**: Validate the model by testing historical oil-related news and price trends.
### Step 2: Confidence Scoring Module
**Objective**: Assign confidence scores to sentiment analysis predictions.
- **Algorithm**:
- Use ensemble learning, averaging predictions across multiple NLP models.
- Factor in the reliability of news sources and historical impact on oil prices.
- **Quality Control**:
- Filter out low-confidence predictions below a threshold (e.g., 80%) to reduce false signals.
### Step 3: Pre-Market Volatility Assessment Module
**Objective**: Assess potential price movement based on historical patterns and pre-market data.
- **Volatility Analysis**:
- Use volatility indicators like Average True Range (ATR) and options data for implied volatility.
- Backtest historical price reactions to similar news events.
- **Predictive Model**:
- Employ machine learning models (e.g., LSTM, XGBoost) to estimate daily volatility using news strength, previous days price action, and economic indicators.
- **Output**: Predict intraday price movement in percentage terms to inform profit targets and stop-loss levels.
### Step 4: Historical Pattern Matching
**Objective**: Validate analysis by comparing current sentiment and volatility to historical data.
- **Pattern Matching**:
- Build a repository of similar historical news events and their impact on oil prices.
- Use clustering algorithms to match patterns and assign a correlation score.
- **Thresholds**: Set a minimum correlation requirement to validate trading signals.
### Step 5: Technical Confirmation through Chart Analysis
**Objective**: Align technical analysis with sentiment and volatility insights.
- **Technical Analysis**:
- Incorporate indicators like Moving Averages, RSI, and Bollinger Bands, and analyze support/resistance levels.
- Set confirmation rules (e.g., positive sentiment aligns with a support bounce).
- **Confirmation Logic**:
- Only proceed with trades if technical indicators align with sentiment (e.g., RSI reversal confirming bullish sentiment).
### Step 6: Trade Execution Decision Module
**Objective**: Use combined insights to make trade decisions and select options contracts.
- **Price Projection**: Combine sentiment, volatility, historical patterns, and technical confirmation.
- **Options Selection**:
- Assess risk and profitability using criteria like delta, theta, strike price, and expiration.
- **Risk Management**:
- Set dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels based on volatility predictions.
### Step 7: Trade Monitoring and Exit Strategy
**Objective**: Monitor ongoing trades and exit based on real-time market conditions.
- **Monitoring**:
- Track real-time sentiment, price movements, and technical indicators.
- Set alerts for mid-day sentiment changes or volatility spikes.
- **Exit Criteria**:
- Profit Target: Sell at a pre-defined profit percentage.
- Stop Loss: Exit if a maximum loss threshold is met.
- Trend Reversal: Adjust or exit positions if technical indicators show reversals.
