Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt or sudo pip install -r requirements.txt if the first command doesn't work.

You may also need to install python3-tk for the GUI to work. You will have to install this without pip. If on linux it should be available through your package manager.

Description

Both StockPriceGUI.py and StockPriceCLI.py use the same model and dataset. The only difference is the interface for requesting stock data afterwards.

Running the GUI

Use the command python3 StockPriceGUI.py or ./StockPriceGUI.py to start the GUI.

GUI Functions:

1. The Train Model button trains the model and must be run before searching stocks
2. You can search for any stock available through yahoo finance by:
   1. Choosing a command from the drop down
   2. Entering your own command in the drop down's text field, the command format is AAPL 2019-02-01 2020-03-24
3. Once a graph has been generated you can use Save Image to save the graph
4. You can also use Popout Image to get the graph in a separate window
5. Exit exits the application

Using The Terminal

Use the command python3 StockPriceCLI.py or ./StockPriceCLI.py to start the CLI version.

Once the model finishes training a terminal with >> will open. To exit the terminal type exit.

The terminal can be used to try and predict stock prices using the ticker.

Here are some sample commands:

AAPL 2019-02-01 2020-03-24

GME 2019-03-23 2021-04-27
