In Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thingJust pushed a really simply start of a Docker PR https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal/pull/13. Take a look and contribute.
In Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thingI dont have a github account....
But i was working through sigaloid's post here
https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal/issues/2
And was still hitting a error on compile
Generally ending with
NFO:pystan:COMPILING THE C++ CODE FOR MODEL anon_model_dfdaf2b8ece8a02eb11f050ec701c0ec NOW.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
Ran the following to clear the error
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev
Pretty sure libssl-dev and python3-dev were the only ones needed though
Also UserWarning: Using slow pure-python SequenceMatcher. Install python-Levenshtein to remove this warning
warnings.warn('Using slow pure-python SequenceMatcher. Install python-Levenshtein to remove this warning')
So the following was needed as sigaloid stated
pip3 install python-Levenshtein
In Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thingWow. This looks awesome. When you say "necessary API keys", does this mean you can still use the program without them, just minus those functions?
e: and is there a way to perform all DD, PT, etc?
e2: oh no!
'xlwings requires an installation of Excel and therefore only works on Windows and macOS. To enable the installation on Linux nevertheless, do: export INSTALL_ON_LINUX=1; pip install xlwings'

In Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thingIf you like stocks and are careful with the way you spend your money, you know how much time goes into buying shares of a stock. It’s tedious and I don’t have 24k for a Bloomberg terminal. Which led me to the idea during xmas break to spend the time creating my own terminal. I introduce you to “Gamestonk Terminal” (probably should’ve sent 1 tweet everyday to Elon Musk for copyrights permission eheh).
In summary, the Terminal (https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal) has 7 distinct menus:
- Discover Stocks
Top gainers; Sectors performance; upcoming earnings releases; top high shorted interest stocks; top stocks with low float; top orders on fidelity; and some SPAC websites with news/calendars.
- Market Sentiment
Scrolling through Reddit main posts, and most tickers mentions; Extracting stocktwit sentiment based on bull/bear flags
Read the rest
; Twitter in-depth sentiment prediction using AI; Google mentions over time.
- Research Web pages
List of good pages to do research on a stock, e.g. macroaxis, zacks, macrotrends, ..
- Fundamental Analysis
Read financials from a company from Market Watch, Yahoo Finance, Alpha Vantage, and Financial Modeling Prep API.
- Technical Analysis
The usual technical indicators: sma, rsi, macd, adx, bbands, and more.
- Due Diligence
Some features are: Latest news of the company; Analyst prices and ratings; Price target from several analysts plot over time vs stock price; Insider activity, and these timestamps marked on the stock price historical data; Latest SEC fillings; Short interest over time; A check for financial warnings based on Sean Seah book.
- Prediction Techniques
The one I had more fun with. It tries to predict the stock price, from simple models like sma and arima to complex neural network models, like LSTM. The additional capability here is that all of these are easy to configure. Either through command line arguments, or even in form of a configuration file to define your NN.
