The problem it solves

If you like keeping an eye on a few stocks throughout the day, switching between browser tabs or apps is a distraction. You want the numbers visible at a glance without stopping what you're doing to check.

Who it fits

Small offices, trading desks, or individuals who want an always-on stock display without checking apps.

How it works

  1. Runs on a set schedule throughout the day
  2. Pulls the latest price for each stock symbol you choose
  3. Calculates the percentage change from the previous close
  4. Sends the update to your LED display with custom colors and icons
What you get

Price moves you see without opening an app

You get live stock prices with daily percentage changes displayed right on an LED clock, always visible in your office.

What you get

A continuously updated stock ticker showing live prices and percentage changes on your LED clock.

What you need

A network-connected AWTRIX LED clock and access to a stock market data source.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
