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.
