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

spitzlbergerj

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

I added some options to calculate the stock’s and the portfolio’s performance based on the purchase price.
You can test it in the module’s development branch: https://github.com/jalibu/MMM-Jast/tree/development

It currently looks like this which is not very pretty, imho. Please share your feedback and thoughts for further improvement.

PS: Inspired by this, I thought of a new display mode with a table with sticky header and alternating body in the future.

@spitzlbergerj @MZ-BER
I introduced a first draft for a table view. You can select a “page size” for stock rotation.

Please share your feedback.

@Jalibu - fantastic Job! I just pulled the dev version and added the purchasePrice next to the quantity. The calculation is functioning properly. There is a slight discrepancy in the total amount, which is likely due to the exchange where I obtained my information. (The screenshot is from Parquet and they are utilizing Xetra as their exchange.

Overall the first iteration is really good.

Here some feedback (will share more as soon as I have time):

Some of my stocks/ETFs have three decimal places for the prices (Column Kursgewinn)
By adding more options like value increase % or total ect. new columns with header should be created. Otherwise it is confusing to understand where the number refers to.
Kursgewinn could be colored with green or red

@Jalibu
Thank you very much for these variants. I’m on the road and unfortunately won’t be able to test live in the next days.

I don’t really have much room for the stocks on the mirror unfortunately. Three lines at the bottom is all I can use. So the Views I posted initially was my very favorite.

Suggestion 1: expand the ticker format to show each stock in two lines

Share 1                                 Share 2                               Share 3 ... 
current price  current performace       current price current performace      current price current performace ...
purchase price purchase performace      purchase price purchase performace    purchase price purchase performace ...

Suggestion 2: Ticker to switch off

Suggestion 3: gladly also your new ticker view, then however options whether the respective values are to be faded in.

regards
Josef

@Jalibu
Please forgive me for not getting back to you in so long. I just have too many projects in parallel and the MagicMirror had to wait for a while now :-)

I wanted to try the new display now. Unfortunately I am a github and git layman. Therefore I need your help.

How can I switch from the master branch to the development branch and then do a git pull to get the new version?
Unfortunately google didn’t really get me anywhere. I have tried many things, unfortunately without success so far

Thanks a lot!
Greetings
Sepp

@spitzlbergerj
from within the MMM-Jast directory, execute

git checkout development

Unfortunately, I really don’t find the time to continue working on this project.

Community, I would be very grateful for help.

spitzlbergerj

@Jalibu
thank you very much. For me it works now

Jalibu

Some may have noticed, that this module stopped working in the past days due to a change in Yahoo’s finance API.
Today, I published an update for MMM-Jast which should fix that.

MZ-BER

@Jalibu - Hey mate, would you please also do the fix for the dev branch?

Jalibu

@MZ-BER done

spitzlbergerj

@Jalibu - Thanks for the update of the development branch . Unfortunately I can’t manage to update to the new version. I have already tried

git pull

This updated 7 files and so on …

afterwards I executed

without success. The stock values are no longer displayed

git checkout development

returns:

Already on 'development' Your branch is at the same level as 'origin/development'.

I am grateful for any help

@Jalibu - A reboot of the Raspberry brought success. Everything is OK again. Sorry that I was too impatient.
Greetings and thanks for your work!

@Jalibu , Thanks for providing this! I have been using it for a few days. I have switched to the development branch as you describe here and updated everything, but the display looks the same as before and not like the one in your screen shot. Is that something special or am I missing a step?
Harry

Jalibu

@Harry in the config you need to set the value for „scroll“ to „table“.

Harry

@Jalibu Thanks! I knew I missed something. :-)

Jalibu

The latest update officially introduced the new additional “table” view mode.

Table

Vertical

Happy using :-)
Feedback welcome.

Hi @Jalibu

how do i change the stock name color?
i have the module as static on my top right. how do i shift the entire thing to the screen right?

justbob

This module has been missing two things from the start, imho:

1.) Ability to rename “Portfolio:” to custom tag, just like we can set stocks.
2.) An option to add to portfolio cash amount.

Everyone likes seeing MagicMirror, but sometimes when guests come over, the last thing you want somebody from outside to see is that you actually have a portfolio, let alone the size of it.
Without it being seen, one can just say that they like to follow trends and keep things private.
I change the name of Portfolio to some made-up ticker and pretend it’s a ticker for some index, but it’s a drag to mess around with en.json file in translations folder every time there’s an update.

As for cash amount, sometimes there is unspecified amount of cash sitting in investors account. It’s not part of the portfolio per se, but being on investor account, it’s almost as good as being a part of portfolio.

Is there any chance of seeing 1.) and/or 2.) being implemented?

Jalibu

@justbob

Thank you for your feedback and ideas for improvement.

Do I understand your feature requests correctly?

You want a way to explicitly change the name of the portfolio to e.g. “my money pot:”?
Would you like a way to add a fixed value of money to the calculated portfolio assets consisting of shares?
portfolioValue = extraMoney + calculatedPortfolioValueBasedOnSpecifiedShares

Technically this is possible.
However, unfortunately I don’t have the time to fulfill new requests at the moment due to other projects.

But I am always happy to receive pull requests or small motivating donations.
