Let’s retrieve a chart of exchange rates.

In the chart below, we’ve set the “to” currency to GBP, and used the command candle to generate a chart showing the exchange rate between USD/GBP.
Note the title of the chart doesn’t follow convention; it should state USD/GBP rather than GBP/USD. And the chart is poorly designed.
Below is a more refined exchange rate chart. This chart is generated from this website, not by Gamestonk Terminal.

Day trading is NOT a form of gambling. Gambling is pure luck play, day trading is a lot about skill. Granted, most people do not have the skill and will lose money, so the warning is spot on. But it is far from gambling.
Putting NOT in capitals doesn’t transform your opinion into a fact. Gambling certainly isn’t simply pure luck.
The difference between investing and gambling isn’t always clear cut. Many eminent investment professionals (such as Warren Buffett) consider day trading a form of gambling.
It really comes down to how gambling is defined.
For example in English law gambling forms part of a wider landscape of activities including financial transactions.
Others argue that the extent to which financial speculation (which includes day trading) is similar to gambling is the extent to which it may have similar addictive and harmful aspects.
Agreed, all depends on the definition.
Did you raise the Docker problem on the GitHub?
I found installing Gamestonk a pain, way too many dependencies.
Bingo. Wow, the number of dependencies is stunning. And many packages of different version numbers are installed multiple times.
This was really helpful, I really appreciate the person who wrote this article. Thank you
Somewhat bamboozled trying to set up the Docker. Might be me as I’m a newbie with Docker.
We’ve written a simple Docker guide which helps you get up-and-running.
GamestonkTerminal is now available as a discord bot, so you can use discord as the interface on both desktop and mobile. Huge leap forward for the Gamestonk Terminal!!
Huge leap backwards given that Discord is proprietary crapware.
for those who cannot manage docker or python installs(or don’t want to), it’s a fantastic option to access the best open source equities analysis platform, easily, quickjly, on desktop or mobile!
That’s a pig in a poke.
The solution should be to make the installation easier. The vast majority of Linux programs are trivial to install, Gamestonk Terminal should focus on that.
