Stockstats fail: Yahoo Finance data not fetched yet!

Error message

Stockstats fail: Yahoo Finance data not fetched yet!

What it means

Raised by get_stock_stats in stockstats.py when the local Yahoo Finance CSV for the symbol is not on disk in offline mode — the FileNotFoundError from reading {symbol}-YFin-data-2015-01-01-2025-03-25.csv is re-raised as a generic Exception with this message.

Solutions

1. Run the YFin data download/fetch step for the symbol first so the CSV exists
2. Or call the online variant (pass online/curr_date path that fetches from yfinance)
3. Check DATA_DIR points at the directory containing market_data/price_data/

Example fix

# before
df = get_stock_stats('MSFT', '2025-01-01')  # offline, no CSV
# after
from tradingagents.dataflows.yfin_utils import YFinanceUtils
YFinanceUtils.download_data_one('MSFT')  # populate CSV first
df = get_stock_stats('MSFT', '2025-01-01')

import os, tradingagents.dataflows.technical.stockstats as ss
csv_path = os.path.join(ss.DATA_DIR, 'market_data/price_data', f'{symbol}-YFin-data-2015-01-01-2025-03-25.csv')
if not os.path.exists(csv_path):
    raise SystemExit(f'YFin data missing for {symbol}; download it first')
df = get_stock_stats(symbol, curr_date)

try:
    df = get_stock_stats(symbol, curr_date)
except Exception as e:
    if 'data not fetched yet' in str(e):
        download_yfin_csv(symbol)  # then retry
        df = get_stock_stats(symbol, curr_date)
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: Offline mode (not online=True) calling get_stock_stats for a symbol whose YFin CSV hasn't been downloaded into DATA_DIR/market_data/price_data/, so the open() raises FileNotFoundError.

Common situations: First use of a new symbol without running the data download step, wrong DATA_DIR, or offline usage after clearing the cache directory.
