Picking the stocks you want to keep up with takes a few seconds and doesn’t require any coding.
Step 1 - Visit the Stock Price plugin
Inside TRMNL, navigate to Plugins > Stock Price.
Here you can:
Name your Plugin
Provide tickers (USA markets only) you would like to track (separated by a comma)
Choose a currency (email [email protected] if yours is not listed)
We currently support the following indexes, in addition to tickers:
VIX, MXACW, XWLD, MXUSA, MXEF, MXEA, DJI, RUI, RUT, OEX, OEX, SPX, XSP, XSP, SPESG, XND
To track crypto prices, use the CoinMarketCap plugin.
Step 2 - You're Done!
Based on your desired refresh settings, TRMNL will begin showcasing the most recent price and daily change very soon.
Troubleshooting
You can show up to 12 tickers at a time. We suggest creating multiple instances of the Stock Price plugin, then building a Mashup layout from your Playlists tab, if you want to see more on the same screen.
To edit a ticker, create a new plugin instance with the correct symbol and delete the incorrect plugin instance.
Some currencies like EUR will use a "," separator versus "." for decimals
If you submit a ticker that is invalid, it will show the code you entered with no price
Some tickers require a different format than their trading syntax. Read this post to learn more, for example NASDAQ should be input as "LFMDP". Another resource for figuring out tickers is here.
