Scan all the stocks in a folder

[cotton1234]

Hello Benny,

I am trying to use scan so that i dont have to give the file containing the stocks.
Where am I wrong or its mandatory to specify the file.

This is what i have in user.json file.

(.venv) saurabhgarg@MacBook-Pro src % cat user.json
{
"DATA_PATH": "/Users/saurabhgarg/shivshakti/eod2/src/eod2_data/daily",
"LOADER": "EODFileLoader",
"DEFAULT_TF": "daily",
"POST_SCAN_PLOT": false,
"WEEKEND_WARN": true,
"SAVE_FOLDER": "/Users/saurabhgarg/shivshakti/stock-pattern/src/images",
"SCREEN_SIZE": false
}
(.venv) saurabhgarg@MacBook-Pro src % python3 init.py -c user.json
usage: init.py [-h] [-c filepath] [-d str] [--tf TF] [-p str] [-l int] [-r int] [--save [SAVE]] [--idx IDX] (-f filepath | --sym SYM [SYM ...] | -v | --plot PLOT)
init.py: error: one of the arguments -f/--file --sym -v/--version --plot is required
(.venv) saurabhgarg@MacBook-Pro src %

Thanks

It is mandatory to setup a watchlist file and specify it in user.json.

Setting the default behaviour to scan the entire folder seems like a good idea. It would make the setup simpler. (Additional checks would have to be put in place to avoid folders and non csv files.)

I will consider this in one of the future updates though my current focus is bug fix only.

A few things to point out:

1. You dont need to use -c for user.json. By default it looks for a user.json file and loads it.
2. WEEKEND_WARN and SCREEN_SIZE are no longer relevant in the latest version of Stock-Patterns.
3. Your config could be reduced down to the below. The rest are all default options.

{
"DATA_PATH": "/Users/saurabhgarg/shivshakti/eod2/src/eod2_data/daily",
"POST_SCAN_PLOT": false
}
