Description: Lending Club Auto Investing Tool
        ================================
        
        About
        =====
        
        A simple tool written in python that will watch your LendingClub account
        and automatically invest cash as it becomes available.
        
        Disclaimer
        ==========
        
        I have tested this tool to the best of my ability but understand that it
        may have bugs. Use at your own risk!
        
        Why?
        ====
        
        I built this tool to solve the common annoyance when investing money in
        LendingClub and not all the loans get funded. It becomes a two steps
        forward, one step back process of reinvesting the cash every few days
        until it's all invested. For large sums of money this process can take
        over a month to complete.
        
        How it works
        ============
        
        When running it checks your account balances every 30 minutes, if the
        available cash meets or exceeds a `threshold you set <#minimum-cash>`__,
        it's all automatically invested in a portfolio with an average interest
        rate within your `specified
        boundaries <#minmax-percent-interest-rate>`__.
        
        To put it simply, the tool does the same thing as if you were to: \* Log
        into your account \* Click Invest \* Click More Options \* Select an
        average interest rate portfolio you want with the slider \* Now click
        Continue and to through the following two pages to invest in that
        portfolio.
        
        Flexibility
        ===========
        
        Through easy-to-use command prompts, you can set the minimum cash to
        invest and the min/max *average* interest rate portfolio you want to
        invest in.

        =======
        
        The tool can be run directly from the bin directory *or* installed globally, by running::
        
            sudo python ./setup.py install
        
        Running
        =======
        
        Foreground
        ----------
        
        To start the tool in the foreground::
        
            $ lcinvestor
        
        The script will run in a loop and print all the output to the screen
        until you exit it with CTRL+C.
        
        Background (daemon)
        -------------------
        
        To run it as a background daemon::
        
            $ lcinvestor start
        
        All output will be sent to ``/var/log/daemon.log``.
        
        To stop the daemon run::
        
            $ lcinvestor stop
        
        Help and Usage
        --------------
        
        To see the usage info::
        
            $ lcinvestor --help
        
        Options
        =======
        
        When you run the tool, it will take you though a series of prompts to
        define how to invest for you.
        
        Email / Password
        ----------------
        
        This is the email and password you use to sign into LendingClub. Your
        password will be kept in memory but never saved to file.
        
        Minimum cash
        ------------
        
        When the auto investor runs it will attempt to invest **ALL** available
        cash in your account into a investment portfolio. However, you will
        probably want it to wait until your account has a certain amount of cash
        before investing. For example, $25 will only invest in a single note,
        whereas $1000 could be invested across up to 40 notes.
        
        Min/Max Percent interest rate
        -----------------------------
        
        When the minimum available cash option is met, the auto investor will
        query the LendingClub API and get a list of possible investment
        portfolios available at that moment. To pick the appropriate one for
        you, it needs to know what the minimum and maximum *AVERAGE* interest
        rate value you will accept. The investment option closest to the maximum
        value will be chosen and all your available cash will be invested in it.
        
        This value relates to finding a investment portfolio using the slider on
        the `Invest
        page <https://www.lendingclub.com/portfolio/autoInvest.action>`__ on
        LendingClub.com. It's not possible, at any given time, to define an
        absolute interest rate value, so we need to know the range that you will
        accept.
        
        **Note** This does *NOT* filter out individual notes based on interest
        rate.
        
        Named portfolio
        ---------------
        
        After the auto investor puts in an investment order, it can assign all
        the new notes to a specific portfolio. This option lets you choose from
        existing portfolios in your account or create a new one.
        
        Advanced Filters
        ----------------
        
        **Experimental!** These are the filters from the `Invest
        page <https://www.lendingclub.com/portfolio/autoInvest.action>`__ on
        LendingClub that will let you filter out investments by term length,
        loans you're already invested in and interest rate grades (A - G).
        
        Final Review
        ------------
        
        After all the options are set, you will be given a review screen to
        verify those values. If you approve, type Y + Enter to start the
        program. It will now check your account every 30 minutes to see if there
        is enough available cash in your account to invest.
