How does an everyday person get the real time market data that this would theoretically need to invest to compete with a Bloomberg terminal?

#32This is amazing
But please implement a section for ALERTS!
I want to make them configurable so eg whenever any stock goes up by more than its normal amount for the past week/month/configurable, I want to get an alert so I can buy call options, or put options for two months from now. Those usually jump 20,000%!

#33If 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…
You may want to add a Dockerfile.
Nothing stopping you from submitting a PR :)

#34this is nice - it looks like it's linked against at least one GPL lib (fuzzywuzzy) though, so the MIT license almost certainly isn't allowed. looks like there's only one usage though, the other is an unused import, so may be easy to change
The Julia programming language does the exact same thing, last I checked (language itself is MIT-licensed, but the reliance on GPL-licensed math libraries makes the whole shebang GPL'd).

#35on a serious note, koyfin is really very nice and does a better job than Bloomberg, at least for equities
It looks promising. I was going to create an account to try it but then I stopped. Their privacy policy states I would have to send an email to delete my account data. Why do people make it harder to remove an account when the sign up process so easy?

Can easily be changed to rapidfuzz, which is based on the older 2011 MIT fuzzywuzzy before it was forced to GPL after incorporating python-levenstein. Also a lot faster.

I 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

#38"...that has been developed for fun, while I saw my GME shares tanking." "Spare time"... Wasn't that only several weeks ago? This is an incredible feature set! How many hours did you put into this?
From before Christmas.

Did you use floating point or fixed point numbers?

If you know a college student, there's a good chance they have one at the library.
