The wxstocks from qilingu

This program is now in beta, but i'm still happy to accept any pull requests or suggestions if you want to help out.

Disclaimer: This program comes as is, and probably has some errors in it. This software should not be used as financial advice or financial analysis, it is for educational use only. Consult a financial advisor before, after, and even while using this software. Double check any calculations done by this software, and review all the code for errors before using.

Sorry about the massive disclaimer, but finance programs are fairly litigious business.

wxStocks is a investment analysis program that could help teach you to scrape, screen, sort, and prepare a portfolio for learning about buying and selling equities.

Built using wx as its framework (specifically wxPython3.0-osx-cocoa-py2.7), and pyql as its scraping tool.

*NOTE: El Capitan has broken wxPython on Mac indefinitely. The bug is here: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/17203 however, there seems to be a new build that works. You can find the new installer here but it's not signed, still, it worked for me with the latest version of Python 2 installed: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wxpython-dev/TMnoeAgf2Wg

Requirements: Python 2.X, wxPython, NumPy

Nonessential but recommended: python cryptography, xlrd

Installation:

Python:

If you are running a mac or linux Python 2.X. To check, open your terminal and just type "python", which should lead to a prompt that looks like ">>>". You can then quit by typing "quit()". If that doesn't work, go here: https://www.python.org/downloads/

If you are running windows, i've found it's better to install 64-bit python if you're on a 64-bit processor for this program, go here and install python 2.X, ideally the latest release: https://www.python.org/downloads/

wxPython:

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

Mac: As noted above, the normal wxPython installer is broken, but a new, though unsigned, installer is out, which you can get here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wxpython-dev/TMnoeAgf2Wg

Windows or Linux, just use pip: $ pip install wxpython

Numpy:

$ pip install numpy

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/install.html

Python cryptography library (not required, but highly recommended):

$ pip install cryptography

xlrd:

$ pip install xlrd https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd
