After running don't see anything?

[mxjchen]

I tried running:

load -t GME -s 2020-02-25 -i 5
Loading Intraday 5min GME stock with starting period 2020-02-25 for analysis.

But the command finished and I'm not seeing anything? Am I doing something wrong? Don't see errors either..

Thanks

The stock data is loaded into memory. That's all the command does, since many different things can be done with it once it's loaded. Run view or see this for more info: https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal#features-

I see, so the correct way is to run load then run view?
In that case I get segmentation fault, any ideas?

load -t GME -s 2020-02-25 -i 5
Loading Intraday 5min GME stock with starting period 2020-02-25 for analysis.

view -t GME -s 2020-02-25 -i 5
zsh: segmentation fault python3 gamestonk_terminal.py

Hey @mxjchen ,

Exactly what @sigaloid said.

So, once you do:

load -t GME -s 2020-02-25 -i 5

you're loading GME stock starting of 25 Feb 2020 intraday 5 minutes.

When you run view. You don't need to redefine such arguments, since that's already what is loaded in the memory.

When you look for intraday data (-i 5) it means that instead of getting the usual 1 per day [open, close, high, low, volume] columns, you get 1 of these every 5 minutes.

Since market is open for 6h30m = 390m. You get 78 data rows per day (390/5). So your request of getting all 5minutes intraday GME data since last year, may be too much memory for your machine.

Try with a smaller period of time, e.g. 2021-01-01. Or without the intraday flag (-i).

Let me know if it worked.

Thanks man, so I took your suggestion and tried to just for one day and without the intraday flag, but I still get the segmentation flag, any ideas? :( or if there a way for me to provide more logs?

load -t GME -s 2021-02-26
Loading Daily GME stock with starting period 2021-02-26 for analysis.

view -t GME
zsh: segmentation fault python3 gamestonk_terminal.py

[sigaloid]

Run just view

[mxjchen]

Yea its the same as with just view..

load -t GME -s 2021-02-26
Loading Daily GME stock with starting period 2021-02-26 for analysis.

view
zsh: segmentation fault python3 gamestonk_terminal.py

[sigaloid]

Try a different shell. Are you on mac or linux? Running those commands works for me.

[mxjchen]

I'm on mac, tried bash and zsh and same result. But I am running on virtual environment in order install everything in requirements.txt, do you also keep running gamestonk_terminal.py in virtual environment after installation?

[sigaloid]

No, I run it in regular python.

@mxjchen
Can you look at #4 ? I think they had the same issue and figured it out.

[mxjchen]

Yes this works! updated matlibplot to 3.3.3 no more segmentation fault, thank you!
