Seems simple when watching it but when you start coding you realize how deep this is!!

Excellent stuff!!

[mikkaruru]

Yes, more financial stuff please! Portfolio visualization would be interesting topic!

In this morning i just thought about doing a stocks trading bot project for my portfolio. This video will help a lot!

Great video! Thanks so much for it. I got started into trading some time ago and now I'm trying to learn Python to become an algorithmic trader and use Python to make better trading decisions so these videos are super helpful

Do you have videos on creating your own trading bots? Do you know if a trading bot can be used on a paper trading account?

[jasonfaustino]

Thanks man. Good video just exactly what I was looking for. I do have one question tho, every time the code runs, does it compute all the computation again? Like the sma150 and sma200.

What if I just want to update the dataframe? Just to save some computational memory. Thanks

is anyone else having problems with from yahoo_fin import stock_info, it's acting like stock_info isn't a part of the library? I watched the video and seen it work for him. But it doesn't work for me.

Great video, thank you!
Could you please tell me, how would you edit the code to print out data from the past? So not for today, but for example half a year ago? I still keep getting error, when trying to figure it out. Thank you very much again!

You have excellent voice and skill for online delivery. So Thanks sir for providing this learning series. Please guide why I’m getting Error in line 11 of this same program but it’s running well in your video. TypeError: string indices must be integers, not ‘str’

[kevinhashimoto]

Hey @NeuralNine I'm having an issue with something.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\FilePathGoesHere\SP_Scan.py", line 11, in <module>
sp500_df = web.DataReader('^GSPC', 'yahoo', start, end)

I'm pretty new to python but I think I have everything written correctly. I keep getting an error on line 11 "in<module>

Any ideas?

Can I use "yahoofin" data for commercial app??

[BjrnTrdr]

Great Video I learned a lot!
But I have a question as I am coding my own version of this. Before you are doing the ranking you calculate the ratio for all PCT Change results to the SPY. But Afterwards you are ranking them all. Comparing all to SPY is an unnecessary step, if you are ranking them anyway or am i mistaken here? Does anyone else have an opinion on this...would be interested to understand if i am missing something here.
Keep up the awesome video! 🚀🚀🚀
