🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Installation Problems

Windows "This app can't run on your PC" Error:

# Use PowerShell installer instead
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1

# Or use universal Python installer
python install.py

# Or install manually
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt --user

General Installation Issues:

# Update pip first
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

# Install with user flag if permission issues
pip install -r requirements.txt --user

# For macOS with Apple Silicon
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu

# Try individual package installation
python -m pip install torch pandas numpy yfinance rich scikit-learn

2. Market Data Issues

# Test Yahoo Finance connection
python -c "import yfinance as yf; print(yf.Ticker('AAPL').info['regularMarketPrice'])"

# Clear cache if stale data
rm -rf __pycache__/

3. GPU Detection Issues

# Check PyTorch GPU support
python -c "import torch; print(f'CUDA: {torch.cuda.is_available()}')"

# For AMD GPUs on Windows
pip install torch-directml

4. Prediction Accuracy Concerns

• Market conditions affect all prediction models
• Volatile stocks are inherently harder to predict
• Model accuracy improves over time with more data
• Consider using longer training periods (--epochs 50)
