Setup and Usage

1. Create a Conda Environment:

   conda create --name <env_name> python=3.11
   

2. Clone the Repository:

   pip install fx_analytics
   pip install MetaTrader5 -> required to access MT5 for your historical trade deals!
   

3. To extract all your historical trades data from MT5 Terminal:

   import fx_analytics
   from fx_analytics.main_functions import ETL
   
   
   # replace '****' with your login credential from MT5 terminal!
   mt5_credentials = {'login': '******', 'server':'******','password':'******'}
   df = ETL(from_date='2023-09-01', mt5_credentials = mt5_credentials)
   print(df)
   

4. To use/test the streamlit app from the package: To test app you can download the example data which was extracted from MT5, download data.

   • Copy the below code into .py file

   import fx_analytics 
   from fx_analytics.app import main
   
   main('fx_history.csv')
   

   To Run this file from CLI:

   streamlit run {file_name.py}
   

5. To run both ETL to extract your data from MT5 and view the analytics streamlit dashboard

   • create a python script 'app.py' and copy and past the below code, change the 'from_date' with your desired date and 'data_file_path', where you choose to stores the data extracted from ETL function, I prefer to use a data folder eg: 'data/{file_name.csv}'

   import fx_analytics 
   from fx_analytics.app import main
   from fx_analytics.main_functions import ETL
   
   # replace '****' with your login credential from MT5 terminal!
   mt5_credentials = {'login': '******', 'server':'******','password':'******'}
   df = ETL(from_date='2023-09-28', mt5_credentials = mt5_credentials)
   df.to_csv('data_file_path')
   main('data_file_path')
   

   To Run this file from CLI:

   streamlit run app.py
