At the start of the install document you indicate don't install all the packages but rather install packages for relevant chapter.

Problem 1: at start of each chapter - you don't indicate which packages for the chapter are required - if it needs separate ones per chapter then provide a .yml or .txt file + conda command to install that chapters packages

Problem 2: you then go on to indicate the packages can all be installed using mt4t-base.txt (Which contradicts the start of your install instructions) - which one is it? As you clearly state don't install all at once.

While your book makes really good sense - the notebooks don't run - each with different package failures.

If possible: its 2024 : Please provide clear install steps for Windows Or Linux environment. (Take out the deprecated stuff and move into separate deprecated file)

Note: Packages do change over time - so maybe create working .yml file that indicates exact versions required.
i.e. if you setup 1 environment with all working then export the .yml file it should then work on every persons machine for that platform.

i.e. create 1 for osx- export .yml with exact versions of packages needed (after you tested they all run on that platform) - then repeat for linux and then again for windows.

Apologies if I sound annoyed - Book was an expensive purchase and expected the notebooks to at least run (+ install instructions to work).

Example: Add cell at top of your notebook to install the packages required for that notebook:

import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install numpy
!{sys.executable} -m pip install python-binance
!{sys.executable} -m pip install pandas
!{sys.executable} -m pip install statsmodels
!{sys.executable} -m pip install matplotlib
