About The Project

How it started:

Gamestonk Terminal is an awesome stock and crypto market terminal that has been developed for fun, while I saw my GME shares tanking. But hey, I like the stock 💎🙌.

How it's going:

Gamestonk Terminal provides a modern Python-based integrated environment for investment research, that allows the average joe retail trader to leverage state-of-the-art Data Science and Machine Learning technologies.

As a modern Python-based environment, GamestonkTerminal opens access to numerous Python data libraries in Data Science (Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, Jupyter), Machine Learning (Pytorch, Tensorflow, Sklearn, Flair), and Data Acquisition (Beautiful Soup, and numerous third-party APIs).

Getting Started

Install

If you'd like to see a video recording of the installation process, @JohnnyDankseed has made one available here.

The user @mchow01 has made available a tutorial on how to run the terminal on an Apple M1.

This project supports Python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9.

Our current recommendation is to use this project with Anaconda's Python distribution - either full Anaconda3 Latest or Miniconda3 Latest. Several features in this project utilize Machine Learning. Machine Learning Python dependencies are optional. If you decided to add Machine Learning features at a later point, you will likely have better user experience with Anaconda's Python distribution.

  1. Star the project

Captura de ecrã 2021-04-25, às 01 13 30

  1. Install Anaconda (It's on the AUR as anaconda or miniconda3!)

Confirm that you have it with: conda -V. The output should be something along the lines of: conda 4.9.2

  1. Install git
conda install -c anaconda git
  1. Clone the Project
  • Via HTTPS: git clone https://github.com/GamestonkTerminal/GamestonkTerminal.git
  • via SSH: git clone git@github.com:GamestonkTerminal/GamestonkTerminal.git
  1. Navigate into the project's folder
cd GamestonkTerminal/
  1. Create Environment

You can name the environment whatever you want. Although you could use names such as: welikethestock, thisistheway or diamondhands, we recommend something simple and intuitive like gst. This is because this name will be used from now onwards.

conda env create -n gst --file build/conda/conda-3-8-env.yaml
  1. Activate the virtual environment
conda activate gst

Note: At the end, you can deactivate it with: conda deactivate.

  1. Install poetry dependencies
poetry install

If you are having trouble with Poetry (e.g. on a Windows system), simply install requirements.txt with pip

pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. You're ready to Gamestonk it!
python terminal.py
  1. (Windows - Optional) Speeding up opening process in the future

After you've installed Gamestonk Terminal, you'll find a file named "Gamestonk Terminal.bat". You can use this file to open Gamestonk Terminal quicker. This file can be moved to your desktop if you'd like. If you run into issues while trying to run the batch file. If you run into issues with the batch files, edit the file and check to see if the directories match up. This file assumes you used the default directories when installing.

NOTE: When you close the terminal and re-open it, the only command you need to re-call is conda activate gst before you call python terminal.py again.

TROUBLESHOOT: If you are having troubles to install, check our newest troubleshoot page

Advanced User Install - Machine Learning

If you are an advanced user and use other Python distributions, we have several requirements.txt documents that you can pick from to download project dependencies.

If you are using conda instead of build/conda/conda-3-8-env.yaml configuration file in Step 5, use build/conda/conda-3-8-env-full.

Note: The libraries specified in the requirements.txt file have been tested and work for the purpose of this project, however, these may be older versions. Hence, it is recommended for the user to set up a virtual python environment prior to installing these. This allows to keep dependencies required by different projects in separate places.

If you would like to use optional Machine Learning features:

ENABLE_PREDICT = os.getenv("GTFF_ENABLE_PREDICT") or True
  • Install optional ML features dependencies:
poetry install -E prediction

If you would like to set up a docker image:

  • Build the docker:
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml build gst-python
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml build gst-poetry-deps
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml build gst-poetry
  • Run it:
docker run -it --env-file=docker/setenv --rm gst/gst-poetry:1.1.0

Note: Remember to customize your docker/setenv.

Update Terminal

The terminal is constantly being updated with new features and bug fixes, hence, for your terminal to be update, you can run:

git pull

to get the latest changes.

If this fails due to the fact that you had modified some python files, and there's a conflict with the updates, you can use:

git stash

Then, re-run poetry install or pip install -r requirements.txt to get any new dependencies.

Once installation is finished, you're ready to gamestonk.

If you stashed your changes previously, you can un-stash them with:

git stash pop

API Keys

The project is build around several different API calls, whether it is to access historical data or financials.

These are the ones where a key is necessary:

When these are obtained, don't forget to update config_terminal.py.

Alternatively, you can also set them to the following environment variables:

Website Variables
Alpha Vantage GT_API_KEY_ALPHAVANTAGE
Binance GT_API_BINANCE_KEY
GT_API_BINANCE_SECRET
CoinMarketCap GT_CMC_API_KEY
GT_CMC_API_KEY
DEGIRO GT_DG_USERNAME
GT_DG_PASSWORD
GT_DG_TOTP_SECRET
FRED GT_API_FRED_KEY
Financial Modeling Prep GT_API_KEY_FINANCIALMODELINGPREP
Finhub GT_API_FINNHUB_KEY
News GT_API_NEWS_TOKEN
Oanda GT_OANDA_TOKEN
GT_OANDA_ACCOUNT
Polygon GT_API_POLYGON_KEY
Quandl GT_API_KEY_QUANDL
Reddit GT_API_REDDIT_CLIENT_ID
GT_API_REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET
GT_API_REDDIT_USERNAME
GT_API_REDDIT_USER_AGENT
GT_API_REDDIT_PASSWORD
SentimentInvestor GT_API_SENTIMENTINVESTOR_TOKEN
GT_API_SENTIMENTINVESTOR_KEY
Tradier GT_TRADIER_TOKEN
Twitter GT_API_TWITTER_KEY
GT_API_TWITTER_SECRET_KEY
GT_API_TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN

Example:

export GT_API_REDDIT_USERNAME=SexyYear

Environment variables can also be set in a .env file at the top of the repo. This file is ignored by git so your API keys will stay secret. The above example stored in .env would be:

GT_API_REDDIT_USERNAME=SexyYear

Note that the GT_API_REDDIT_USER_AGENT is the name of the script that you set when obtained the Reddit API key. Note that it is not necessary to have a valid Alpha Vantage key to get daily OHLC values.

Usage

Start by selecting a context that you would like to work with. If you want to research stocks, you would start with

stocks

Alternatively, you can set a default context to be loaded in the config_terminal file by setting

DEFAULT_CONTEXT = "stocks"

From this menu, you can load a ticker of interest (note the -t is optional):

load -t GME

At this point, all available menus will be in full color and available to use.

To look at the candle chart of your stock, run:

candle

Slice the historical data by loading ticker and setting a starting point, e.g.

load -t GME -s 2020-06-04

To perform technical analysis, first enter the menu

ta

and run a SMA with:

sma

However, imagine that you wanted to change the length of the window because you don't want to go long but do a swing, and therefore a smaller window is necessary. Check what settings are available on the SMA command:

sma -h

Once that has been seen, set the parameters that you want after flagging them. In this case, to change length window to 10, we would have to do:

sma -l 10

Example:

To return to the stocks menu to perform more research in a different menu, just use the q command. From the stocks menu, using q again will return you to the main menu where you can enter a different context (crypto for example).

Become a Karen 🤷

Recommended if you adopted a strategy of buying high and selling low.

We are interested in your view on what sort of features would make you buy even higher and selling even lower.

Also, if somehow you're sitting in several mils due to this terminal, don't forget to report a bug so that the team can fix, and keep the old ways.
