Python Trading Engine

[icabero0225]

So I am trying to code a python script to assist me with my stock trading. here's my code so far.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

def buy():    datr = float(input("Daily ATR: "))    dzd = float(input("Demand Zone Distal: "))    dzp = float(input("Demand Zone Proximal: "))    szp = float(input("Supply Zone Proximal: "))    szd = float(input("Supply Zone Distal: "))    wr = (datr * 0.02)    sl = (dzd - wr)    rsk = (dzp - sl)    rwd = (rsk * 3)    t1 = (dzp + rwd)    t2 = szp    print("Target 1:", t1)    print("Target 2:", t2)   def intromenu():    choice = input("1. Buy\n2. Sell\n\nEnter: ")    if choice == 1:        buy()    else:        exit()   intromenu()

When I run the program, I enter 1, the program exits with no errors. I'm trying to make it so whenever I enter 1, the function buy() executes. Thanks.

input return str, and you compare with int, that is why if choice == 1 is always false
obviously you are aware that input return str, because you convert it to float in buy function.

So how would I fix that? I didn't necessarily know that input returns a string, I was just messing around and found that that would get rid of my errors. I'm trying to call function

1

buy()

from function

1	intromenu()

but can't.

Anything entered as a response to input will be a str.

So

if input == '1' should work; add quotes around 1.
