[MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker (new: version 2.x)

@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.

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.

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

@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 :)

@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.

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.

Hi @Jalibu
I don’t think it’s really a problem to understand the values even without appropriate tags. It’s not like there are hundreds of unknown and untrained people looking at such a MagicMirror. It is rather family or smaller teams that look at the displays. And those who are interested in shares quickly know what means what. That’s how it is in my proposal. On MagicMirror, the color of the values is usually enough for me to decide whether to trade. Everything else happens on the trading platform.

I use many models in different views on my different MagicMirrors. With almost all modules, the different views also offer different functionalities. That’s kind of the point of a view - a different look at the same raw data. so I wouldn’t have a problem with that.

And as already said, I would like to help. Unfortunately I lack the knowledge of the programming language used and the appropriate development environment.

Many greetings and happy coding
Sepp
