I'm trying to create an automated system that will execute tasks based on what my browser screen displays, refreshing every 5 seconds. I'm particularly interested in automating stock trading based on market fluctuations, similar to how a friend of mine made $1,500 in a day doing it manually. What software do you recommend for this kind of task?

Have you looked into robotic process automation (RPA)? It's great for automating software that lacks an API. If you're into coding, you could even run your own JavaScript directly in the browser with a MutationObserver to monitor changes on specific elements.
Selenium is a solid option for screen-reading tasks. It’s widely used for automating web interactions and has a lot of documentation to help you get started.
You might want to explore using n8n for automation. It's pretty flexible and can help with various tasks seamlessly.
If you're refreshing your browser this often, it might be worth creating a custom browser extension that can interact with the page elements. For external control, consider using Playwright—though I'd need more details to confirm if that's a good fit.
