Thanks for the update. So I just ignore it and wait for fix.

Hi, i am struggling with your module. I am testing MM in VM on Ubuntu. It seems that module is running but i still see only Loading instead of content. I ve tried default config provided on Git and also some config from this feed with no succes.

Jalibu

@mmuser did you install the dependencies using npm install?

MMuser

Hi, yes i installed everything and after few restarts it is finally working, you did indeed great job, thanks for this module.
Maybe one quick question, for horizontal scrolling, on the left side, scrolling is aligned with module above but on right side, scrolling starting on very right side ( don’t know how to insert screenshot to this forum). I tried to modify maxWidth -no result, as it is according to description related only to vertical style. Any possibility to correct this ?

Was anyone able to make this work for Australia?
I have tried AS and ASX both dont work. Example BOQ.AS but works on Yahoo Finance

Jalibu

@Overbid4225 please check your logs: API request for BOQ.AS failed: Quote not found for ticker symbol: BOQ.AS
This message does not come from the MMM-Jast module, but from the Yahoo Finance library. Apparently a required value is not available for this symbol.
Since MMM-Jast depends on the results of the Yahoo Finance Library, unfortunately I can’t help you here either.

Overbid4225

@Jalibu I see, thanks for the reply. Strange on Yahoo’s part to resolve BOQ.AS on their website or any other asx for that matter but not allow on API. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BOQ.AX?p=BOQ.AX&.tsrc=fin-srch

Jalibu

@Overbid4225 yap, that‘s strange. The Yahoo Finanance library is unofficial and does not use a public API. Instead it just parses the Yahoo Website ;-)

Dracarys

@Jalibu Hi, for me the module just stopped working since yesterday. It only says ‘loading’. Restartig the mirror doesnt Help. Before that it worked flawlessly for months. Is it Just me or does anyone else have this problem too?

Jalibu

@Dracarys It still works for me without any problems.
Do you get any logs?

Dracarys

I will post it as soon as i have the time :)

EDIT:

[30.06.2022 01:07.44.449] [ERROR] There was an error requesting the API. Failed Yahoo Schema validation

Jalibu

@Dracarys
That’s strange. Can you sort out which symbol causes this error?

If it makes you happy, right now it’s better to see an error message on the mirror than to be shown the current stock performance.

Dracarys

i just got rid of all smybols and used BMW.DE Its still the same unfortunately. I even updated on the last version of jast but that also didnt help.

Jalibu

@Dracarys can you please create an issue on Github? https://github.com/jalibu/MMM-Jast/issues

Dracarys

@Jalibu Since my magicmirror is running since a few years without updates/upgrades i updated everything (Rpi, MagicMirror, Node, Jast etc…). Now the module works again :)

MartinLoidolt

@Dracarys I updated nearly everything I could find.
Could you tell me what you exactly updated?

MartinLoidolt

@Dracarys Nevermind i fixed it

Hi Jan @Jalibu

Thank you very much for this great Stocks module. The beer is already on the way. It’s best to choose Bavarian! :-)

I have contributed a bit to the MMM-AVStock module (https://github.com/lavolp3/MMM-AVStock). Unfortunately TypeScript is not one of my languages, so I can help less there.

You have already recorded the number of existing stocks. If we could add the purchase price, then a display like in MMM-AVStock would be possible. In addition to the current prices and their development, the own portfolio is then also shown in the development.

Bild Text

If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

And another suggestion. I would like to have the representation like the horizontal ticker, only without ticker. So the display would be shown horizontally. But there is nothing running through.

Thanks again

Many greetings

Sepp

Hi @Jalibu - first, thanks for the great module and all the effort to help.

I was playing with the Depot feature and added all the quantities. It functions correctly, providing me with the current value based on the current market price of the stock. Now I’m wondering if is there a way to calculate the price gain since purchase, similar to the example provided?

Is it possible to add the purchase price next to the quantity, so that the price gain or loss can be automatically calculated based on the current price?

Best regards from Berlin

@MZ-BER thanks for your feedback. Also @spitzlbergerj asked for such a feature.
Technically, the implementation (and calculation) should be very easy. The tricky part is to get this fitting into the different display modes/styles (e.g. horizontal, vertical scrolling). The horizontal scrolling values for example are hard to understand without any caption for what they stand for.
In a table view like your’s, that’s easy and I’ve been thinking for a long time to introduce an additional table mode (like MMM-AVStock for example). The reason why I haven’t so far implemented this is, that I want to avoid that some features are only visible in a subset of modes/styles.

But since several people have already expressed their wish and one shouldn’t hold back improvements because one could theoretically make it even better, I’ll try to implement that soon.
