This application does not expects any input from users as the data it depends on are predetermined and downloaded directly from yahoo finance hence the need to have a working internet connection for the application to access the data needed for smooth operation from yahoo finance online. A csv file that contains all the indices considered in application is contained in the root directory of the application named indexes.csv this file also must be kept intact and must not be altered.
