Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thing
- ricardobayes 6y agoWithout level 2 data trading is just trying your luck on a random number generator.
- hntrader 6y agoThere's lots of short-term trading strategies that can work without L2 data. I know 2 people running short term strategies making 7 figures consistently who don't rely on L2. It's a dogma in certain high frequency trading firms that L2 is necessary for profitable edge (since that's a core part of their edge). That said, most profitable short term traders do rely on L2.
- sexy_year 6y agoIf 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 Terminal (https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal 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.

- orliesaurus 6y agoI wish I was more literate in these subjects, some of these terms - I am not familiar with such as `sma, rsi, macd, adx, bbands`
- galoisscobi 6y agoI'd recommend Investopedia to learn more about those terms. As someone with a robotics background, I used Investopedia extensively when I was taking Machine Learning for Trading (would highly recommend the course as well: https://www.udacity.com/course/machine-learning-for-trading--ud501 https://www.udacity.com/course/machine-learning-for-trading-...) if that's something you're interested in.
- riffraff 6y agoOne more nice thing about Investopedia: they have recently restructured their newsletter ("one term a day") to include references to current events. That is really nice because it not only gives you something to learn but it also puts it in context.

- ibic 6y agoWow, there is this ascii art now. I like the stonk.
- maximente 6y agothis 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
- moonchild 6y agoThe MIT license is ‘allowed’. The code in itself is MIT licensed. It's just that, when compiled and linked against fuzzywuzzy, the aggregate work that results must be GPLed.
- maximente 6y agointeresting: given that it may at any time hit that line of GPL'd code, your claim is that the rest of the code can be MIT licensed? i am not a lawyer but that sure seems like a borderline case at best.
- GoOnThenDoTell 6y agoThe author can licence their source code however they want. The GPL doesn’t relicense other code either, it’s that the GPL asks you to additionally follow its terms for the whole resulting compiled distribution
- regularfry 6y agoThis is incorrect, and it's precisely for this sort of situation that the LGPL exists. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL The problem for the author in this case is that a) writing their code against a GPL'd library constitutes creating a derivative work, and b) putting it on GitHub is distribution.
- moonchild 6y agoThe page you linked contradicts you: > the terms of the GPL apply to the entire combination. The software modules that link with the library may be under various GPL compatible licenses, but the work as a whole must be licensed under the GPL. The application is a ‘software module’ licensed under the MIT license (a ‘GPL compatible license’). When you link that application against the GPL'd library, the resultant ‘work as a whole’ must be provided under the terms of the GPL. (Since the MIT license allows relicensing, and the GPL does not contradict any of the terms of the MIT license, this is legal. If the MIT license did not allow relicensing, or if it contradicted some term of the GPL, the OP's application would still be legally licensed under the MIT license. It would just be illegal to link it against its GPL'd dependency.)

- aheilbut 6y agoon a serious note, koyfin is really very nice and does a better job than Bloomberg, at least for equities
- aryc19 6y agoIt 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?
- minsc__and__boo 6y agoI mean, the alternative costs $2,000/mo.
- kolinko 6y agoI have the same process on my site. The reason is that it is such a risky operation that you want to have a human in the middle as a safeguard from accidental deletion. Account cancellations and so on are automatic of course, but anything that can’t be rolled back requires human input.
- aryc19 6y agoIt guess it's not hard to put a deletion timer and send warning emails before actual deletion. Not every service out there requires you to send an email to delete your account.
- kolinko 6y agoAnd if you make a mistake there, your whole database evaporates and the business dies. It is possible, but it is expensive and risky to do it right. In my case there were perhaps five people that requested data deletion over the span of 8 years the site was working. Features that are so rarely used you don’t automate. Granted, I could’ve added a button that would send the e-mail automatically. It just honestly never crossed my mind - will implement it in future sites :)
- ErikAugust 6y ago"...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?

- throwawaysea 6y agoHow does an everyday person get the real time market data that this would theoretically need to invest to compete with a Bloomberg terminal?
- Judgmentality 6y agoIf you know a college student, there's a good chance they have one at the library.
- red2awn 6y agoMost brokerages provide real time data to clients.
- SilverRed 6y agoI'm not sure the everyday person actually can get or even handle real time data. I spoke to someone about 4 years ago who was doing it for their startup and they said they had serious problems handling the data volume. Talking about terabytes of data coming in per day. Typical DB systems fall apart under that kind of load.
- remarkEon 6y agoI'd like to understand a bit more about how Bloomberg Terminals are set up from an infrastructure perspective. Apologies if you don't know anything about that, but the idea that there's just "so much data" that only a Bloomberg Terminal can handle it seems kind of suspect to me. Don't we have other options? Or is this all proprietary?
- nly 6y agoThe key their volume though is they don't really have hard latency constraints. Most of the data flowing through the Terminal is still for human eye balls and inaccurate or laggy data is tolerated. It's not a low latency product. They do have an API offering but you're unlikely to find serious trading shops using it except as a backup feed.
- 6y ago
- EGreg 6y agoThis 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%!
- mootzville 6y agoThis makes all the hours (months really) I've wasted on HackerNews worth it. Thanks! Edit: I should say, it's things like this that make up for the wasted time. I've seen several really interesting things on here over time.

- dan-robertson 6y agoI realise this is a joke but there are economic reasons to expect stocks to go up in real terms on average in the long term. Investing in the long term is not a zero sum game.
- zymhan 6y agoNo one here said anything to the contrary.
- mvanaltvorst 6y ago
- wyxuan 6y agoThe only thing that this shares with the bloomberg terminal is that it can do equities and is on a terminal. 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
- ionicdev 6y agoSomething like docoh.com will get you a bit closer, including instant alerts
- schoen 6y agoMaybe it's like a Bloomberg terminal as of a few decades ago? 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.
- Cullinet 6y agoa couple of decades ago the bloomberg was massively more than that already
- kolinko 6y agoBrittanica also had much more than Wikipedia. And Unix could do much more than Linux. This is how great open source begins.
- twic 6y ago
- ggm 6y agoThose bloomberg systems could do video. There were people who made significantly more than beer money assisting dealing room people to watch otherwise not broadcast en clair games, on their terminal, alongside the stocks. I was not one of them. I have spoken to people who were, many aeons ago in the days of kipper ties, wide lapels and double brested suits, with padded shoulders. Shiny suits.

- throwaway2037 6y agoWhat percentage of profits in the S&P 500 index do you think comes from outside the United States? The nice thing about S&P 500, EuroSTOXX 50, and Nikkei 225 indices: A huge portion of their profits come from outside their home regions: US, EU(rope), Japan. Think: FAANG, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, NVidia, HP, Ford, Boeing, Phillip Morris, Tesla, Siemens, EADS, Phillips, NXP Semi, Alstom, ABB, SAP, Santander, Volvo, Volkswagon, Hitachi, Panasonic, Toyota, Kyocera, Nintendo, Sony, etc. Upon closer inspection, they act like international indices. Don't bother with indices focused upon developing economies -- they are already covered by the Big Three indices! My take: Of these Big Three indices, the S&P 500 will outperform others over the long term. That is not blind pro-US bias. The US economy (and, correspondingly, the S&P 500 index) is much more dynamic than EU and Japan. It can recover faster after downturns -- recessions & depressions. <snark> As a retail investor, put your money into a very low commission ETF that tracks the S&P 500 index. See: Fidelity, State Street, or Vanguard. Enable dividend reinvestment programme ("DRIP") to buy more shares with dividends. Go to sleep for 30 years. Wake up rich. Simples. </snark>

- soniman 6y agoFor stocks Bbg is overkill. A stock investor basically needs latest PR, SEC and earnings release info for his watchlist of stocks, which can be done using Feedly and Seeking Alpha. Alerts connected to the watchlists ("high volume on stock at new high in this watchlist") would be useful but I haven't found anything with that. Finviz is good for charts, although it doesn't have log charts (at least in the free version). That's basically it. Yahoo Finance was brilliant while it lasted.

- hdra 6y agothat looks interesting. it certainly has many of the stuff that I'm looking for. Do you know how "soon" are they gonna be translating it into other languages? and if you happen to know German, is there any mention of where are they getting their data?
- Cu3PO42 6y agoAs far as I can tell they make no mention of where exactly they are getting their data, but they claim to update multiple times daily and review all data manually. They also say the following: > Uns blieb bei der Aktienanalyse oft keine andere Wahl, als unzählige Geschäftsberichte der vergangenen 20 Jahre zu öffnen und dort die gesuchten Daten manuell und mühsam viele Stunden herauszusuchen. The essence of which is that in the past they often manually extracted data from the last twenty years of annual reports from a given company. Maybe that's still how they're doing it.
- jraby3 6y agoI’m not a coder. This looks awesome and I’d really love to try it. Can anyone tell me how to get this working or point me to a set of instructions? I see the code and read me on GitHub but don’t know what to do next. Thank you.
- franga2000 6y agoFrom a quick glance, the first thing you'll need to do is install Python for your platform. There are a bunch available, but for Windows I usually recommend WinPython. This one should be good: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpython/files/WinPython_3.6/3.6.8.0/WinPython64-3.6.8.0Zero.exe/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpython/files/WinPython_3... . Run that and select an empty folder to install it into. When it's done, open the folder and run the "WinPython Command Prompt". Once you have that, download the code (green button "Download as ZIP") and extract it into your WinPython folder. Go into it by typing "cd GamestonkTerminal" into the terminal and press enter. The terminal should indicate you're now in that folder. Once there, run the following command: "pip -r install". This wil take some time to complete, during which you can follow the links in the "API Keys" section of the Readme and follow whatever steps they require for you to get an API key (probably have to register an account, create an "application" and create a key - it'll usually be a long random-looking string of characters). Once you have the keys, edit the "config_terminal.py" using notepad or preferably Notepad++ and put the corresponding keys where "REPLACE_ME" is at the end of each line (keep the quotes!). If you've done all that, go back to the command prompt from before and run "python ganestonk_terminal.py". The terminal should be running.

- traceroute66 6y agoWhat's that old saying ? "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated". First up, people who call Bloomberg Terminal a "$25k/year chat terminal" are utterly clueless and have evidently never seen or used a Bloomberg Terminal. The main reason Bloomberg costs so much is because unlike their competitors, Bloomberg have a "one-size-fits-all" price. You get all the data (except live data that is subject to exchange fees levied by third-parties such as NASDAQ). Contrast this with Bloomberg competitors where you spend days haggling with your neighborhood sales rep over a list of indecipherable package options (which almost always end up costing the same or more as Bloomberg by the time you add everything you want). Secondly, hardly a year goes by without one of these "Bloomberg killers" popping up. The trouble is its nonsense. Most of the so called "Bloomberg killers" only offer a subset of features, for example they only focus on charting. Or they only offer limited market data (e.g. US market only). Also, most so-called "Bloomberg killers" rely on second-rate data feeds of poor or questionable quality. Services such as Bloomberg (and those of similar tier, e.g. Eikon) spend a lot of time and effort procuring first-class data. So, don't kid yourself with the ludicrous dream of thinking you can replicate Bloomberg (or Eikon or similar) and sell it for a fraction of the cost (or give it away for free).
- refraincomment 6y agoThe Google killer! Proceeds to introduce you grep.
- lr1970 6y agoNot to criticize a free OSS project. It is very cool, but comparing it to Bloomberg terminal is a misnomer. Bloomberg gives you data, analysis, models, news, document access + Bchat which is highly useful to professionals. OTOH, Gamestonk Terminal is just a couple of python scripts. You have to sign up for the data feeds API access yourself. Free tier data access has limits by minute and by day. Even though GamestonkTerminal can be useful for small individual investors it will not float your boat for anything more serious.
- Hnrobert42 6y agoIs it just me, or is the feel of the comment on this post different than other HN posts? There are a lot more snarky jokes. A little more combative. It feels like why I stopped reading Reddit. I hope it doesn’t metastasize to posts on other topics.

- bogomipz 6y agoI was looking at the various APIs the project sources for data and was wondering does Bloomberg aggregate data sources from other vendors or does Bloomberg produce it's own market data for their terminals?
- ska 6y agoNot or, both. There is a crapton of data available in the terminals.
- bradj 6y agoMost of the data on Bloomberg or any other market data terminal is going to from another data source. Either from an exchange, ratings agency, SEC reports, price reporting agencies, etc. They’ll also have proprietary data that are exclusive to their platform.
- mttpgn 6y agoDoes it include any features that aren't present in ThinkOrSwim? Could be an advantageous tool for those who don't want to give their private information to TD-Ameritrade.
- Klwohu 6y agoBack with the CTS Labs AMD debacle, it became clear that Bloomberg isn't trustworthy. These were known scam artists, who called a RELATIVE working inside Bloomberg to push stories which weren't actually true. Nobody ever apologized, this wasn't even a story in the media. So while some people think a Bloomberg Terminal's a big deal and very useful, other people know Bloomberg has no issues dealing in misinformation and maybe you'd be better looking things up for yourself.
