Ticker Change

[foolsgold]

Is anyone programming this(GIM2) website? If so go with the free updates and get it working then upgrade to one of the paid packages.

Metals-API | Free Gold, Silver & Precious Metals Rates JSON API

Metals-API provides a free, simple, and lightweight API for current and historical precious metals rates and currency conversion.

if I am going to do something different, sure would like to have a more comprehensive as shown above

rather than just metals prices, which don't even reflect actual market values anyway

The format is impressive. I like it.

Coupla kinks -- like updates -- need working out. Something like that may well be the equivalent of a keystroke somewheres. Or not.

I need a ticker that will tell me the gold price next month.

[newmisty]

Working for me now!

 

[nickndfl]

I don't see it in the app?

 

[BeefJerky]

Any way to add platinum?

Regardless, anything is better than kitco shit.

Great idea and thanks

I hate it. (hey, someone has to be contrary, right?) Something moving on part of the screen while I'm trying to read really bothers me for some reason.

But a few clicks with my adblocker, and for me it's not there anymore. So it's not a problem! (I don't expect everyone else to conform to what I prefer.)

I just have Coininfo open in another browser window to quickly check spot prices rather than depend on any of those crappy tickers. Scorp is doing all he can but it seems these ticker applets simply don't work very well.

ok, so most of those that had 'e's' updated on the close,

so there is no mid day pricing on them it seems

gold/silver/crude/natty/

This is actually useful as I check the markets all the time and I also post here all the time.

Looks fine in Opera-Win 10.. Thank you Chief Bearmaster.

Just some food for thought. The upper right 2/3rds of the "banner" area is now blank. That area is considered ultra-prime web page real estate. I don't have any great suggestions off the top of my head, but something should go in that area to fill the void.

 

[Scorpio]

I hear ya,
but giving that thought, small screens it doesn't matter anyway

just drag your edge of open window to the left and see what happens, then you will see what I mean

Some quick mods to the ticker and we will see how this one works for now

 

[MrLucky]

Anyone want to tell the ticker supplier that they misspelled "Platinum" ?

 

[Scorpio]

Thanks MrL

went back in and fixed that,

LOL, I don't like it either.

How come the Brits pronounce "platinum" like Americans, but they go crazy with "aluminum"?

 

[Scorpio]

ok guys,

the ticker has been up for a bit now,
some small screens don't show it,
and a couple did not care for it at all,

but the general consensus is that most find it a welcome change from the old,
where now there is more info avail than prior,

one even stated he turned on his ad blocker to get rid of it,

c'est la vie

 

[Au-myn]

Well, I like it! Reminds me of the ticker a zillion years ago on KWHY 22. I used to wake up to the stock market watching Gene Morgan
and the NYSE & AMEX stock symbols roll across the bottom of the screen. Then it was off to school...

 

[southfork]

Well the ticker must be broken, how the hell is the usd 104????????????
