Why do we use OpenBB?

We have been investing in the stock market for several years. Collecting data and analysing companies takes a lot of time and effort. At the beginning of 2022, we discovered the open-source project OpenBB. The project convinced us from the beginning. OpenBB enabled us to take our investment research to a new level. The open-source platform allows anyone to view the source code. Everyone can contribute to the project and help shape the future of investment research. OpenBB uses Python as its programming language. Both developers and analysts are familiar with Python. Do you like to delve deeper into Python? In the book “Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming”* you will learn the most important concepts. OpenBB 3.0 has taken the platform to a new level. The documentation of the individual products, which we present below, is very well structured. We can recommend every investor take a look at OpenBB.

OpenBB Platform

OpenBB Terminal

The OpenBB Terminal is a Command Line Interface (CLI) application. You operate it with commands from your keyboard. As a result, you get charts, tables, or text. The charts and tables are fully interactive. Navigating through the terminal menus is similar to going through folders in the command line of an operating system. The OpenBB terminal starts with a help menu to give you an overview of the functions. You can call help from any submenu to see the available opportunities.

We will demonstrate how it works with a small example. Let’s say we want to look at a candlestick chart for the stock Tesla.

Steps:

  1. Navigate in stocks

  2. Execute following command: candle -t tsla

  3. A window with the candlestick chart opens.
