Charting

[markusd1984]

Have you looked into if some form of low level charting could be done?

I see the basic stock plugin had green/red arrows to show the daily +/- position and your range versions seems already more advanced, nice!

Would be great to have some high level charting / visual for how a stock moves across the day

i.e. per hour/30m/15m would probably enough on such small button to provide a quick glance of the daily movements to save having to look at bigger charts on some days.

I am sure something could be done. Currently the red/green bar at the bottom shows the price over the daily high/low. Maybe a 2nd action for the plugin could be charting or with a button press you could toggle the chart.

I had another look at Barraiders plugins since he has quiet a few well developed over time and one is a stock ticker, unfortunately since he has no Mac they aren't compatible and probably no ports coming anytime soon.

I really like the simplicity he achieved. Using the symbols price value color to simple indicate the daily range of being either negative (red) or positive (green). Also it displays the percentage which is often on any stock ticker app or charting site, percentages are just easier to interpret than just a visual scale (even though I like the bottom bar too).

You can see it in action in a video here

What's even better he utilises the tap of the button to reveal the previous day's close and today's high & low figures. This is super practical besides a chart.

Would be amazing if we could have something similar for Mac. If a simple chart ever becomes possible we could have that configure able as the second or third tap to cycle through before showing again the main page of the daily value screen.

A setting to show the value in green/red colours and one to enable percentage, even if it's at the expense of the bottom bar. I'm happy to beta test and feedback. My coding knowledge is unfortunately limited. What do you think?

Thank you for all the suggestions! I am well aware of all the work Barraider has done. I too was super bummed to find out their whole plugin collection is PC only. That was a major motivator for writing this plugin. I wanted to respect the work of Barraider and not copy their plugin.

Your points are valid, change the color seems like a universal feature. What I really am interested in exploring, is what can be achieved with multiple taps to show additional data.

Sounds like it is time for a deep dive. When I come up for air I will let you know.

I understand, then again most things are copied ideas/concepts etc. And respect can always be shown with attribution when especially he made his app open source. So why not utilise it, credit and built upon it, everyone benefits. 🙂

That's the big difference in my opinion with the benefits of open source over corporate patents that restrict competition and improvements.

The multi tap is definitely worthwhile exploring as it makes reading some of the information easier Vs too much info at once. The close/high/low seems a good fit for one screen though. Also for switching between 1-3 different basic charting could be useful.😁

Hoping you consider adopting the daily percentage move as most apps show that and usually these are the key info one looks for when not looking at charts. Maybe in a separate screen and layer optional on the main one.

I'd love to contribute if I can somehow. Please let me know how you get on.
