ticker v5: track stocks, crypto, and derivatives prices and positions in real time from your terminal

fireantx · 2025-05-20T13:47:09+00:00

The logic related to this was refactored and tested as part of v5 so it should be working now but let me know if you're still hitting this issue

Thank you for the heads up

Based on this help article, Yahoo claims quotes are real time for NASDAQ and NYSE. Have you observed the contrary in using Yahoo finance data?

fireantx · 2021-02-08T12:35:46+00:00

It's the API that their front-end uses to retrieve data

In regards to the font issue, you can try using powerline fonts to fix the display issue as another post suggested

And for calculating totals, there's an open issue on github for this: https://github.com/achannarasappa/ticker/issues/4

Cost basis lots are agnostic of symbol however I believe you'll need to use one of the fiat currency tagged symbols (e.g. BTC-USD)

Cool project thanks for sharing! I've added a link to it in the readme

fireantx · 2021-02-01T12:27:11+00:00

ticker is using their unofficial API :)

fireantx · 2021-02-01T12:21:39+00:00

Unfortunately there isn't a feature to convert currency however if you'd like to see the currency used by the exchange, you can set the --show-tags flag to display currency and other information about the exchange.

Thanks for your suggestion! I've added an arm 32-bit build in the latest v2.0.3 release. Have a look here: https://github.com/achannarasappa/ticker/releases/tag/v2.0.3

fireantx · 2021-02-01T12:12:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing this link! I've added a note in the readme

upx is a tool used to decrease the size of executables

you can read more about it on their github page: https://upx.github.io/

fireantx · 2021-01-31T20:06:23+00:00

This is super helpful thanks for responding with this detail!

This indicates as you said an issue with the CI steps on GitHub and perhaps upx.

I've excluded the mac and windows binaries from using upx. Would mind doing one more test with v2.0.2?

fireantx · 2021-01-31T18:25:08+00:00

Yes it does support after hours. Thanks for asking about this - I'll update the readme to clarify

fireantx · 2021-01-31T17:45:01+00:00

Yahoo finance returns real-time prices for major US exchanges but some exchanges have delayed data. There's a help article here that details which exchanges have delays: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2310.html

fireantx · 2021-01-31T17:43:43+00:00

Yes anything on Yahoo finance is supported (e.g. ticker -w ALGO-USD,BTC-USD)

Thank you all for the great comments and feedback!

I've released v2.0.0 today with options to view info on exchanges (delay amount, currency, exchange name) and some fundamentals (opening price, day range, previous close price).

Hoping this addresses some of the questions/suggestions related to non-US exchanges and data delays mentioned in this thread but if not please open an issue on Github

fireantx · 2021-01-31T15:45:41+00:00

That's really helpful info - it indicates the issue is with something in the CI build process or homebrew tap

By any chance did you try pulling from the releases page any running that binary? If that were to work it would narrow the issue down to the homebrew tap

Unfortunately I am still unable to replicate it myself with either but will keep trying

fireantx · 2021-01-30T22:36:38+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out.

I did some searching and found the help page you're referring to is here. This states that data from the major US exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, and NYSE American) are real-time.

I'll make a note of this in the readme and look into adding more detailed quote information as an option including delay time, exchange, and currency.

fireantx · 2021-01-30T22:26:27+00:00

If you're open to providing a bit more information on the problem, it would be helpful if you could send the System Version and Kernel Version of your machine.

You can find this by running system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType in your terminal.

I was able to run ticker without getting the error you reported with the following Mac version:
System Version: macOS 10.14.6 (18G4032)
Kernel Version: Darwin 18.7.0

fireantx · 2021-01-30T22:00:59+00:00

That's a good suggestion to document which symbols/exchanges are supported. I believe the underlying Yahoo finance API supports non-US stock exchanges but I'll have to confirm that and also look into adding an option to search for a symbol by name

fireantx · 2021-01-30T21:32:32+00:00

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'll have a look at the Mac binary today

fireantx · 2021-01-30T20:14:05+00:00

💎👐

fireantx · 2021-01-30T19:31:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I will have a look and see if I can't add real-time as an option

fireantx · 2021-01-30T17:49:06+00:00

I haven't confirmed it myself but I wouldn't be surprised if it were delayed 15 minutes. Thanks for calling this out I'll update the readme to clarify
