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; 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.

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'

"Spare time"...

Wasn't that only several weeks ago? This is an incredible feature set! How many hours did you put into this?

Sort of irks me because a bloomberg terminal can do so much more: level 2 data, trading capability, damn near instant news alerts, options, debt instrumentals + so much more

- and I get it, this isn't meant for that same crowd and this is pretty well flushed out for a retail investor. But the comparison with the bloomberg terminal is a bit of a head scratcher

But this is still pretty cool :)

You can google each one, there is usually a decent explanatory article

"JP Morgan Employee : But, uh... you guys are under the capital requirements for an ISDA.

Charlie Geller : By how much?

JP Morgan Employee : [thinking] Uh... how much? One billion, four hundred seventy million. So... a lot.

Charlie Geller : This makes us look bad, doesn't it? That we didn't know what the capital requirements were?

JP Morgan Employee : Uh... it's not great. But keep up those returns and give us a call way down the line, you know. Okay?"

I think access to market data is a challenge in trying to replicate more of the present-day Bloomberg terminal. First because it's so voluminous (as people elsewhere in this thread have said), and second because so much of it is commonly provided under license for a fee (and with nondisclosure obligations) (and also subject to the trend where people pay more to get or generate market data that's closer to real-time).

But in terms of the feature competition, I think people have upvoted this so much because it's an initial version of a single person's passion project that manages to put a whole bunch of financial information at your fingertips. With an active community (and modulo the important data access issues), it could easily grow and grow and grow in functionality.

This is how great open source begins.

But asides from the securities offered by the typing system and borrow checker, Rust (and Go; and maybe others to some extend) have going for them is that the compiled binary is "OOTB".

I'm on ubuntu, and it seems all python tooling is there to start running Gamestonks Terminal. But more often then not, getting a Python, Nodejs or Ruby project running requires a lot of fiddling, insider-information (what is npx, why did pipenv just break my entire desktop, why is this 'rbenv' thing giving these weird 'RVM' errors?).

A rust project: download it, unzip it, run it. A very short Daft Punk song, really.

Still, this is a cool hack. I understand that it is not a genuine attempt to unseat Bloomberg!

Other times I will go out of my way to send emails from the terminal just so others get a glance at my @bloomberg.net email address. I also have people send me stuff to the email if it's someone I haven't met before.

The Bloomberg Terminal is well worth it for these two perks. It's much better than paying for an @hey.com email address.
