@Jalibu also, how can I increase the font size?

@MisterTFM said in [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker:

What “symbol” should I use for the Dow Jones Industrial Average? I tried DJI and .DJI

Hi @MisterTFM,
as you can read here, the Alphavantage API does not provide stock indices. You could try using “DIA”.

@RIKKO14 said in [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker:

Hello,

does this module work for french stocks on euronext ?

HI @RIKKO14,
the question should better be “does the Alphavantage API work with french stocks on euronext”. To be honest: I just don’t know :-)

I just googled that list of Symbols for Alphavantage: https://github.com/prediqtiv/alpha-vantage-cookbook/blob/master/symbol-lists.md
You can easily test your Symbols by pasting this url in your browser and change the symbol value on its end:
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY&interval=5min&apikey=3JJ4NFIVSE57V6NB&symbol=YOUR_SYMBOL_HERE

If you get a response like this, your symbol is valid and offered by the API:

{
Meta Data: {
  Information: "Daily Prices (open, high, low, close) and Volumes",
  Symbol: "BAS.DE",
  Last Refreshed: "2021-01-05",
  Output Size: "Compact",
  Time Zone: "US/Eastern"
},
Time Series (Daily): {
 2021-01-05: {
  open: "64.3000",
  high: "65.4700",
  low: "63.2600",
  close: "64.4000",
  volume: "2770107"
},

@wilbur245 said in [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker:

Hello, what do I have to do so that the values ​​are shown up to date to some extent. It is currently only queried once a day or the value renewed.
I sometimes have values ​​for 2 days even though they have fallen or increased

Hi @wilbur245 ,
the module always requests the latest values from the Alphavantage API. If they are not up to date, I’m afraid there is nothing we can do ¯\(ツ)/¯
The update interval between the MMM-Jast module and the Alphavantage API can be configured

config{
  updateIntervalInSeconds: 1800
}

@DJ6sTep said in [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker:

@Jalibu Is there a way to have the ticker scroll all the way across the screen? Mine gets about 85% across the screen, doesn’t show all the stocks, just 4 stocks & then restarts from the beginning again.

Hi @DJ6sTep , perhaps that’s a bug. I’ll have a look on that.

@DJ6sTep said in [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker:

@Jalibu also, how can I increase the font size?

By modifying the modules/MMM-Jast/MMM-Jast.css

[Jalibu]

@wilbur245 said in [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker:

Hello I have installed Jast, everything is fine.
I just don’t see a share.
Biontech
FRA: 22UA
there is zero also 22UA.DE does not work.

how can i “https://www.stockdio.com/”
insert as API?

I just checked the stockdio API. It is great, but unfortunately its free plan is limited to 500 requests per month.

[DJ6sTep]

@Jalibu Thank you, editing the .css file did the trick. Please let me know when you’ve had a chance to investigate this bug. This module is exactly what I was looking for man, just need to to scroll all the way across & display all my stocks :) Appreciate your work.

[Jalibu]

I have refactored this module from scratch. It now should also support DepotGrowth calculation in currencies other than EUR. A few internal and UI bugs were also fixed.

Please let me know if you are facing any issues with the latest version.

@jalibu I’m facing some problems with displaying the correct value of my stocks.

modules: [



{
module: "MMM-Jast",
position: "fullscreen_above",
config: {

maxWidth: "100%",
updateIntervalInSeconds: 0, 
fadeSpeedInSeconds: 90.5, 
scroll: "horizontal",
defaultCurrency: "EUR",
showDepotGrowth: false,
apiKey: "MY API KEY",
stocks: [
	{ name: "Porsche", symbol: "PAH3.DE" },
	{ name: "STS", symbol: "SF3.DE"},
	{ name: "Haier", symbol: "690D.DE" },
	{ name: "Siemens Energy", symbol: "ENR.DE" },
	{ name: "TUI", symbol: "TUI1.DE" },
	{ name: "HochTief", symbol: "HOT.DE" },
	{ name: "Siemens", symbol: "SIE.DE" },
	{ name: "Allianz", symbol: "ALV.DE" },
	],
	},
	},
		
	]
   };

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

Problem 1: The ticker is showing me Values. But also a value for BTC (which isn’t mentioned in the code?!?!)

Problem 2: Values from the stock list are old Values from the beginning of the Day (or maybe last value of the day before)

maybe a Log can help you:

Greetings from BW to RP ;)

[Jalibu]

Hi @koert-0 ,

thank you for your message.

Problem 1:
There was a hidden sample crypto entry in the default settings. I removed that and improved the Readme, to avoid this confusion in the future.

Problem 2:
The problem for this is more likely to be found with the data provider than with the module.
The module displays what it gets. If the values are not up to date, then unfortunately I can’t influence that.

In general, I am rather dissatisfied with Alphavantage. Unfortunately, I don’t know a free alternative. I am open for suggestions.

[Jalibu]

I refactored this module again to use Yahoo’s financial API instead of Alphavantage and need some voluntary testers.

It should now support many more Symbols and be more accurate and much simpler.

Please check out this Feature Branch:
https://github.com/jalibu/MMM-Jast/tree/feat/useYahoo

[BravoOscar]

@jalibu

I will test it later today, but I need to know of this is this a upgrade or is it a new install.

I use the originale MMM-JaST, should this be removed before a new install?

[Jalibu]

@bravooscar
Well, the word “install” is fuzzy…

You don’t need to uninstall your old one and even your configuration is compatible.

You can switch between them by just changing the branch.
In your modules/MMM-Jast folder execute

Switch to Yahoo test branch:

git fetch
git checkout feat/useYahoo
npm i

Switch back to stable master:

git checkout master

It looks like there is a error when using “git checkout feat/useYahoo”.

Now the alert message on MM says there is a update for MMM-Jast

I removed MMM-Jast folder, and did a clean install of MMM-Jast.
Then I did this

git fetch
git checkout feat/useYahoo
npm i

Everythink works now, and also one of my stocks that was not available before.

Good work!
Think is should be made as master, maby make a config option, so its possible to cange from Yahoo to the other one.

[earnestrichards]

I guess I’ve done something wrong…

I copied the link, installed to my modules folder, ran the “npm i” command, and updated my config .js file

{
			module: "MMM-Jast",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				maxWidth: "100%",
				updateIntervalInSeconds: 300,
				fadeSpeedInSeconds: 3.5, // Higher value: vertical -> faster // horizontal -> slower
				scroll:"none", // "<none, vertical, horizontal>",
				showChangePercent: true,
				showChangeValue: false,
				showChangeValueCurrency: false,
				showDepotGrowth: false,
				stocks: [

					{ name: "PLFJX", symbol: "PLFJX", quantity: 1}
					// { name: "DJIA", symbol: "DJIA"}
				]
			}
		},

[Jalibu]

@earnestrichards I sent you a PM.
I think you are not on the feat/useYahoo branch.

No matter. I have now made the feature branch the master.

Hi @jalibu ,

It works (for the most of my Stocks). The ticker is showing me the correct value but not an increase/decrease in percent (for 2 of 10 stocks).

can you help me with this error message?

thank you in advance!

:man_facepalming: As I have read so many times here on the forum… Read. The. Instructions. Thanks!!!

[jack819]

I am very new to all of this but have been able to install every module so far. I had the old one working fine until the other day when it would not update the stocks. Then I discovered it was updated so I removed the old one and installed the new one as directed. I copied the config file directly to the config.js but I keep getting an error. When I run the config check it keeps coming back as below:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.14.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node js/check_config.js

[01.04.2021 06:41.32.155] [INFO]  Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js

[01.04.2021 06:41.32.212] [ERROR] Line 109 col 3 Parsing error: Unexpected token stocks```

Any ideas? Like I said, the config file is copied right from the sample. Line 109 is the stocks : [ line from the sample.

[sdetweil]

@jack819 is there a comma on the end of line 108?

[jack819]

@sdetweil
There was not a comma (like I said, I am new to this). I did add one but now I just get a black screen when I start Magic Mirror. Nothing seems to load.

[sdetweil]

@jack819 and when u look at the messages in the window where u started MM???

did u do an npm install in the module folder after git clone?
