APEX:E3: Automated Real-time Global Events Data Collator and Persister

APEX:E3 has created a global event based financial instrument back testing framework, where users can answer questions like:

What impact does a hurricane hitting the American Eastern coastline have on insurance stocks? Or How did the victory of Boris Johnson affect FX rates and Banking stocks? 

The events are stored as time lines and our users can backtest trading strategies around these timelines e.g. Buy GBP/EUR and GBP/USD 1 month before the election and sell 2 months after the election.

The idea is to create an automated real-time global events data collator and persister, where the following type of events are consumed from publicly available sources on the internet then classified, tagged by sentiment and persisted to a database or index for future querying: 

1.   Geo Political  - e.g. US Trade war timeline, Brexit timeline, Oil tanker issues, Trump tweets
2.   Financial - e.g. Companies earnings report timeline, key company announcements, IPOs, mergers & acquisitions
3.   Sports - e.g. European / US / Asian soccer/baseball/cricket/Formula 1 teams that are listed on stock exchanges or have sponsors that are listed on stock exchanges. Example events include premier league match results,  Formula 1 race wins/losses 
4.   Extreme Environmental Events - e.g. hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, landslides
5.   Entertainment - Film releases, Game launches, Stadium events like music concerts and boxing matches, Music releases
