Detect Stock Price Anomalies & Send News Alerts with Marketstack, HackerNews & DeepL

Description

Price Anomaly Detection & News Alert (Marketstack + HN + DeepL + Slack)

Overview
This workflow monitors a stock’s closing price via Marketstack. It computes a 20-day moving average and standard deviation (±2σ). If the latest close is outside ±2σ, it flags an anomaly, fetches related headlines from Hacker News, translates them to Japanese with DeepL, and posts both original and translated text to Slack. When no anomaly is detected, it sends a concise “normal” report.

How it works
1) Daily trigger at 09:00 JST
2) Marketstack: fetch EOD data
3) Code: compute mean/σ and classify (normal/high/low)
4) IF: anomaly? → yes = news path / no = normal report
5) Hacker News: search related items
6) DeepL: translate EN → JA
7) Slack: send bilingual notification

Requirements
Marketstack API key
DeepL API key
Slack OAuth2 (bot token / channel permission)

Notes
Edit the ticker in Get Stock Data.
Adjust N (days) and k (sigma multiplier) in Calculate Deviation.
