MiniStocks is a Qt widget focussing on a minimalistic display of real-time stock dataa .
As of now, MiniStocks is in version of 0.2 which means "barely functional". It is still quite rough around the edges but basic functionality is established.
You can clone this repository, or download the Debian package "ministocks", available on the systems listed here.
MiniStocks is a QMake project that can be opened with Qt Creator, but it can be also compiled via the following Terminal commands:
qmake StockTicker.pro(optional if the supplied Makefile doesn't work)sudo make install
These commands will install MiniStocks in your /usr/local/bin directory.
The application is called MiniStocks in the start menu and "ministocks" in the CLI.
MiniStocks fetches real-time stock data from Yahoo Finance to update its stock ticker. The list of ticker symbols is saved in a savefile, located in the "./ministocks" folder in your home directory.
To add and/or delete ticker symbols while the program is running, open the Settings window by right-clicking on the MainWindow and selecting "Settings" or using the designated shortcut.
