TERMINALOF ONE SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION --:--:--
< BACK TO TERMINAL

DES — WHAT THIS IS

A full institutional research terminal with a coverage universe of exactly one asset.

The system underneath is a fork of the open-source Wall Street terminal: 71,000+ GitHub stars, investment research infrastructure used by quants, analysts, and AI agents. Equities, ETFs, fixed income, commodities, currencies, derivatives, and economic data from the SEC, the Federal Reserve, FRED, Nasdaq, CBOE, the ECB, the IMF, and the OECD — 32 data providers covering essentially every market on Earth.

We forked it. Then we deleted the market.

CHANGELOG — WHAT WAS DELETED

The first commit removes every data provider and every asset class from the codebase. The diffstat, verbatim:

1,165 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 1,570,805 deletions(-)

One and a half million lines of institutional-grade financial infrastructure, removed in a single commit titled Delete the market. The one insertion — the only line added while the global financial system was being removed — changes the project description to:

-description = "Investment research for everyone, anywhere."
+description = "Investment research for everyone, anywhere. Coverage universe: 1."

Deleted, specifically:

  • 32 data providers: the SEC, the Federal Reserve, FRED, Nasdaq, CBOE, the ECB, the IMF, the OECD, the US government, Benzinga, Intrinio, Tiingo, and 20 others.
  • 10 asset classes: equities, ETFs, fixed income, commodities, currencies, derivatives, indices, economy, news, regulators.

PROVIDER SPEC — WHAT REPLACED IT

One data provider: openbb-oneterminal. Real code, implementing the terminal's real provider interface — the same one the institutional data sources implement. Registered the same way, queried the same way. Properties:

  • Every symbol resolves to the one asset. Query BTC. Query AAPL. Query anything. You get the one asset.
  • Search returns exactly one result, regardless of query.
  • Live prices and OHLCV candles for the one asset, from real on-chain market data.
  • Peer comparison: not applicable (n=1).
  • Diversification: not applicable (n=1).
  • The correlation matrix is [ 1.00 ].
>>> obb.crypto.search("bitcoin", provider="oneterminal")
symbol: ONE   # there is only one asset

>>> obb.crypto.price.historical("literally anything", provider="oneterminal")
# the one asset

LEGAL — THE FUNNIEST PART

The upstream terminal is licensed AGPL-3.0. Section 5(a) of that license requires anyone who modifies the software to carry "prominent notices" describing the changes.

We complied. The fork's documentation is legally required to state that we deleted the market. Every word of the notice is accurate, and the license made us publish it.

Upstream is copyright its original authors and remains AGPL-3.0. They built something genuinely great — which is the entire reason pointing it at one coin is funny. They have no affiliation with this project and, presumably, would like to keep it that way.

DISCLAIMER

Charts built for the S&P 500. Screeners built for ten thousand tickers. All of it works. All of it is pointed at this.

A terminal that tracks everything is infrastructure. A terminal that tracks one coin is conviction.

This is a parody and not financial advice.
