Problem with the watchlist
#1
Unfortunately Yahoo Finance changed their remote web page for the watchlist so that it is no longer possible to get all tickers data with curl.
Thus the watchlist free is no longer functional with Yahoo for the moment.

Possible workaround : use python Selenium WebDriver to get the web page but its complicate to make it portable and to use it successfully with WineHQ (wine has only internet explorer by default and it bugs with the window handle)

For the momebt i am still looking for a portable headless browser that is compatible with WineHQ, this would rescue the watchlist functionality.

Tiingo Crypto still works with the watchlist free but is limited to 50 tickers max in the list which is not very satisfactory.

I am currently trying to find leads for a functional and non limited free watchlist.


Alternatively for the moment you can use a watchlist outside qchartist software, for example:
- open the yahoo watchlist url in your web browser https://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/GC=F,CL=F/view/v1 and change the url with your tickers
- use your broker's integrated watchlist
- coinmarketcap
- tradingview
 etc. many alternate solutions are possible

Sorry for the inconveignance.

Time and work will tell if a solution is possible for a usable integrated watchlist in qchartist. I work on that.

Since the build 308, in the Watchlist Free, Yahoo Finance is no longer supported but you can browse the watchlist in your Web Browser (build 308):
click on the "Browse" button, double click on the url at the bottom and copy it with the Ctrl+c keys ; then open your favorite web browser (firefox, edge, safari...), paste the url in the address bar, navigate and manage the watchlist on the Yahoo Finance website directly.
For example, the url of the watchlist looks like https://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/CL=F,GC=F/view/v1 for crude oil and gold
Browse it in your favorite web browser to display the watchlist and manage it.

Hi ulee,

There are already many crypto data sources available which covers about all existing tokens.
But do you mean the prices api or the trading api ? The prices retrieval api would be quite easy and rapid to implement but the trading api would require a lot more work to do.
In its current state QChartist is not a trading but a charting platform.

Tradingview uses Pinescript language to code indicators. QChartist uses Basic and C++.
You need to translate your code from Pinescript to C++ before you can implement your indicator.
AI chat bots for example can easily do that for you.
