How to Use It
1. Install & download the Rallies-CLI package.
# Using pip
pip install rallies
# OR
git clone https://github.com/your-username/rallies-cli.git
cd rallies-cli
pip install -e .
2. Get your OpenAI API key on the OpenAI Platform.
3. Add your API key to the environment variable. On Mac or Linux, you can do this by running the following command in your terminal. Remember to replace "sk-your-api-key-here" with your actual key.
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-api-key-here"4. Type rallies to launch the tool. It will initialize and present you with an interactive prompt where you can begin asking questions about markets, individual stocks, or broader financial topics.
5. For enhanced functionality and higher usage limits, consider obtaining a free Rallies.ai API key. Set this additional key within the application using the /key your-rallies-api-key command after launching the tool.
6. Use /help to display all available commands and usage instructions. The /feed command allows you to browse recent high-scoring questions from the community. Use /clear to reset your conversation history or /compact to compress the conversation while preserving important context.
7. When formulating queries, use natural language just as you would when asking a knowledgeable colleague. For example, you might ask, “What’s driving Tesla’s price action today?” or “Show me technology stocks that are oversold based on RSI.” The more specific your questions, the more targeted and useful the responses will be.

FAQs
Q: What makes Rallies-CLI different from asking ChatGPT about stocks?
A: The primary difference lies in data freshness and accuracy. ChatGPT relies on training data that becomes outdated quickly in fast-moving financial markets. Rallies-CLI integrates real-time financial data feeds, providing current market information, live prices, and up-to-date news analysis that general-purpose AI tools cannot access.
Q: Do I need to be a programmer to use it?
A: You don’t need to be a programmer, but you should be comfortable using a command-line terminal. The setup involves running a few commands, and the entire interface operates within the terminal.
Q: Can I use Rallies-CLI for cryptocurrency analysis?
A: Yes, the tool supports cryptocurrency market analysis alongside traditional equity markets. You can query Bitcoin price action, analyze altcoin trends, and research crypto market sentiment using the same natural language interface used for stock analysis.
Q: How accurate is the financial analysis provided by the tool?
A: The analysis quality depends on the underlying data sources and AI model capabilities. While the tool provides access to real-time data, users should verify important information and use the analysis as one input among multiple sources for investment decisions. The disclaimer clearly states that the tool is for educational and research purposes only.
