cliStocksTracker

A command line stock market / portfolio tracker originally inspired by Ericm's Stonks program, featuring unicode for incredibly high detailed graphs even in a terminal.

Installation

Manual

$ git clone https://github.com/ConradSelig/cliStocksTracker
$ cd cliStocksTracker
$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

usage: cliStocksTracker.py [-h] [--width WIDTH] [--height HEIGHT]
                           [--independent-graphs] [--timezone TIMEZONE]
                           [-r ROUNDING_MODE] [-ti TIME_INTERVAL]
                           [-tp TIME_PERIOD] [--config CONFIG]
                           [--portfolio-config PORTFOLIO_CONFIG] [-g]

Options for cliStockTracker.py

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --width WIDTH         integer for the width of the chart (default is 80)
  --height HEIGHT       integer for the height of the chart (default is 20)
  --independent-graphs  show a chart for each stock
  --timezone TIMEZONE   your timezone (ex: America/New_York)
  -r ROUNDING_MODE, --rounding-mode ROUNDING_MODE
                        how should numbers be rounded (math | down)
  -ti TIME_INTERVAL, --time-interval TIME_INTERVAL
                        specify time interval for graphs (ex: 1m, 15m, 1h)
  -tp TIME_PERIOD, --time-period TIME_PERIOD
                        specify time period for graphs (ex: 15m, 1h, 1d)
  --config CONFIG       path to a config.ini file
  --portfolio-config PORTFOLIO_CONFIG
                        path to a portfolio.ini file with your list of stonks
  -g, --generate-config
                        generates example config files

Do note that any given command line argument will override settings from the config file.

Configuration

cliStocksTracker relies on two config files, "config.ini" and "portfolio.ini".

config.ini

[Frame]
width=[ graph width ]
height=[ graph height ]

[General]
independent_graphs=[ True | False ]
timezone=[ pytz timezone stamp (ex. "America/New_York", "Asia/Shanghai", etc) ]
rounding_mode=[math | down]

If independent_graphs is True, all the given stocks will be graphed on the same plot, otherwise all of the given stocks will be printed on independent plots. There is currently no grouping of stocks, either manual or automatic (planned).

A default config.ini is packaged with the project.

All keys in config.ini file are required.

portfolio.ini

[ stock symbol ]
graph=[ True | False ]
buy=[ count ]@[ price ]
buy=10.786@14.56  # 10.786 stocks were bought at $14.56
buy=2.3@14.68  # an additional 2.3 stocks were bought at @14.68
sell=[ count ]@[ price ]
sell=5.3@16.43  # 5.3 stocks were sold at $16.43
color=[str]

[ stock symbol ]
graph=[ True | False ]
buy=[ count ]@[ price ]
sell=[ count ]@[ price ]
color=[str]
...

An unlimited number of 'buy' and 'sell' keys are allowed for each symbol. Yes, duplicate keys do work. So just add another line into your portfolio every time you buy or sell a stock, cliStocksTracker will take care of the weighted average to give you as accurate data as possible.

Planned feature to have cliStocksTracker automatically condense these keys down to a single line at runtime, as well as allowing buying and selling as command line arguments.

Each stock symbol has four additional config settings:

"graph": Determines if a graph is plotted of this symbol.
"buy": A buy order, formatted as "count at price". Duplicates of this key are allowed.
"sell": A sell order, formatted as "count at price". Duplicates of this key are allowed.
"color": The custom color to display the stock on the graphs. This is not a mandatory configuration setting, and if left empty automatic color selection will take place.

The color can be chosen from the following list of colors:

'aliceblue', 'antiquewhite', 'aqua', 'aquamarine', 'azure', 'beige', 'bisque', 'black', 'blanchedalmond', 'blue', 'blueviolet', 'brown', 'burlywood', 'cadetblue', 'chartreuse', 'chocolate', 'coral', 'cornflowerblue', 'cornsilk', 'crimson', 'cyan', 'darkblue', 'darkcyan', 'darkgoldenrod', 'darkgray', 'darkgrey', 'darkgreen', 'darkkhaki', 'darkmagenta', 'darkolivegreen', 'darkorange', 'darkorchid', 'darkred', 'darksalmon', 'darkseagreen', 'darkslateblue', 'darkslategray', 'darkslategrey', 'darkturquoise', 'darkviolet', 'deeppink', 'deepskyblue', 'dimgray', 'dimgrey', 'dodgerblue', 'firebrick', 'floralwhite', 'forestgreen', 'fuchsia', 'gainsboro', 'ghostwhite', 'gold', 'goldenrod', 'gray', 'grey', 'green', 'greenyellow', 'honeydew', 'hotpink', 'indianred', 'indigo', 'ivory', 'khaki', 'lavender', 'lavenderblush', 'lawngreen', 'lemonchiffon', 'lightblue', 'lightcoral', 'lightcyan', 'lightgoldenrodyellow', 'lightgray', 'lightgrey', 'lightgreen', 'lightpink', 'lightsalmon', 'lightseagreen', 'lightskyblue', 'lightslategray', 'lightslategrey', 'lightsteelblue', 'lightyellow', 'lime', 'limegreen', 'linen', 'magenta', 'maroon', 'mediumaquamarine', 'mediumblue', 'mediumorchid', 'mediumpurple', 'mediumseagreen', 'mediumslateblue', 'mediumspringgreen', 'mediumturquoise', 'mediumvioletred', 'midnightblue', 'mintcream', 'mistyrose', 'moccasin', 'navajowhite', 'navy', 'oldlace', 'olive', 'olivedrab', 'orange', 'orangered', 'orchid', 'palegoldenrod', 'palegreen', 'paleturquoise', 'palevioletred', 'papayawhip', 'peachpuff', 'peru', 'pink', 'plum', 'powderblue', 'purple', 'red', 'rosybrown', 'royalblue', 'saddlebrown', 'salmon', 'sandybrown', 'seagreen', 'seashell', 'sienna', 'silver', 'skyblue', 'slateblue', 'slategray', 'slategrey', 'snow', 'springgreen', 'steelblue', 'tan', 'teal', 'thistle', 'tomato', 'turquoise', 'violet', 'wheat', 'white', 'whitesmoke', 'yellow', 'yellowgreen'

All keys in the portfolio config file are optional, so this:

[GME]
[AMC]
[HPE]
[AAPL]

is actually a valid portfolio.ini! (even if it shows you basically nothing...)
