First let us install the following modules:
- BeautifulSoup4
- Requests
- lmxl
- HTMLParser
- Matplotlib
If you already have these modules installed in python, you can go onto the next step.
If you do not have these modules, run download.py to install any / update necessary files (Only required once).
Now, to finally run the StockTrader program, run the main.py file.
In order to see the graph change frequently, you have to run the graph in market hours. This translates to 7:30 AM to 2 PM in Edmonton time.
