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).
- First step is to make sure docker desktop is installed. Install links can be found here. To confirm that your docker desktop is downloaded and running, open a command prompt or terminal and enter
docker info. If you get the following you are not running the docker desktop:
Server:
ERROR: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?Open the docker desktop app in this case.
- Download the latest docker image.
docker pull ghcr.io/gamestonkterminal/gst-poetry:latestUpon running this the first time, you should see the various layers downloading (note the random series of letters numbers will vary). The first time this is run, it will take a few minutes. Subsequent updates will be much faster, as the changes will be in the MB instead of GB.
Once the download is complete, confirm that the image has been created by doing docker images. You should see something similar to
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
ghcr.io/gamestonkterminal/gst-poetry latest e2bbeebcc73c 42 hours ago 2.02GB- Run a container
You are now ready to run the terminal.
docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/gamestonkterminal/gst-poetry:latest
This will open up the terminal in your command prompt or terminal. Note that this has provided now environment file, so you will not be able to view plots or use keys at this stage.
To read more on adding the environment keys and how to configure your X-server to show plots, hop over to the Advanced Docker Setup.
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.
- Star the project
- 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
- If on Windows, install/update Microsoft C++ Build Tools from here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
- Install git
conda install -c anaconda git
- Clone the Project
- Via HTTPS:
git clone https://github.com/GamestonkTerminal/GamestonkTerminal.git - via SSH:
git clone git@github.com:GamestonkTerminal/GamestonkTerminal.git
- Navigate into the project's folder
cd GamestonkTerminal/
- 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
- Activate the virtual environment
conda activate gst
Note: At the end, you can deactivate it with: conda deactivate.
- 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
- 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.
- Jupyter Lab (Optional. Early alpha). User the Terminal from Jupyter Lab
You can install Jupyter Lab extensions that help you manage settings and launch the terminal in a JL bash console using the commands in the jupyterlab/README.md
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.
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:
- Update your feature_flags.py with:
ENABLE_PREDICT = os.getenv("GTFF_ENABLE_PREDICT") or True
- Install optional ML features dependencies:
poetry install -E prediction
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
- Binance: https://binance.us (US) / https://binance.com (Outside US)
- CoinMarketCap API: https://coinmarketcap.com/api
- Degiro API : https://www.degiro.fr
- FRED: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html
- Financial Modeling Prep: https://financialmodelingprep.com/developer
- Finhub API: https://finnhub.io
- News API: https://newsapi.org
- Oanda API: https://developer.oanda.com
- Polygon: https://polygon.io
- Quandl: https://www.quandl.com/tools/api
- Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
- SentimentInvestor: https://sentimentinvestor.com
- Tradier: https://developer.tradier.com/getting_started

- Coinbase Pro API: https://docs.pro.coinbase.com/
- Whale Alert API: https://docs.whale-alert.io/
- Ethplorer API: https://github.com/EverexIO/Ethplorer/wiki/Ethplorer-API
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 |
| 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 |
| GT_API_TWITTER_KEY GT_API_TWITTER_SECRET_KEY GT_API_TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN |
|
| Coinbase | GT_API_COINBASE_KEY GT_API_COINBASE_SECRET GT_API_COINBASE_PASS_PHRASE |
| Whale Alert | GT_API_WHALE_ALERT_KEY |
| Ethplorer | GT_API_ETHPLORER_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 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).
