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 ๐๐.
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).
This project was originally written and tested with Python 3.6.8. It should now support Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.
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.
- Star the project
- Install Anaconda
Confirm that you have it with: conda -V
. The output should be something along the lines of: conda 4.9.2
- 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 create -n gst python=3.6.8
- Activate the virtual environment
conda activate gst
Note: At the end, you can deactivate it with: conda deactivate
.
- Install git
conda install -c anaconda git
- Clone the Project
- Via HTTPS:
git clone https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal.git
- via SSH:
git clone [email protected]:DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal.git
- Navigate into the project's folder
cd GamestonkTerminal/
- Install poetry
conda install poetry
7.1. If installing python 3.8
conda deactivate
conda activate gst
The conda deactivate
-> conda activate
in the middle is on purpose, this is sometimes required to avoid issues with poetry
7.2. If on Windows, install/update Microsoft C++ Build Tools from here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
- Install poetry dependencies
poetry install
This is a library for package management, and ensures a smoother experience than: pip install -r requirements.txt
- You're ready to Gamestonk it!
python terminal.py
- (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
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.
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:
- Update your feature_flags.py with:
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 build .
- Run it:
docker run -it gamestonkterminal:dev
Note: The problem with docker is that it won't output matplotlib figures.
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
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:
- Alpha Vantage: https://www.alphavantage.co
- Quandl: https://www.quandl.com/tools/api
- Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
- Twitter: https://developer.twitter.com
- Polygon: https://polygon.io
- Financial Modeling Prep: https://financialmodelingprep.com/developer
- FRED: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html
- News API: https://newsapi.org
- Tradier: https://developer.tradier.com/getting_started
- Oanda API: https://developer.oanda.com
- CoinMarketCap API: https://coinmarketcap.com/api/
When these are obtained, don't forget to update config_terminal.py.
Alternatively, you can also set them to the following environment variables: GT_API_KEY_ALPHAVANTAGE, GT_API_KEY_FINANCIALMODELINGPREP, GT_API_KEY_QUANDL, GT_API_REDDIT_CLIENT_ID, GT_API_REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET, GT_API_REDDIT_USERNAME, GT_API_REDDIT_USER_AGENT, GT_API_REDDIT_PASSWORD, GT_API_TWITTER_KEY, GT_API_TWITTER_SECRET_KEY, GT_API_TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN, GT_API_POLYGON_KEY, GT_FRED_API_KEY, GT_API_NEWS_TOKEN, GT_OANDA_TOKEN, GT_OANDA_ACCOUNT, GT_TRADIER_TOKEN, GT_CMC_API_KEY.
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.
Start by loading a ticker of interest:
load -t GME
The menu will expand to all its menus since a ticker has been loaded.
View the historical data of this stock:
view
Slice the historical data by loading ticker and setting a starting point, e.g.
load -t GME -s 2020-06-04
Enter in technical analysis menu with
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

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.
