I’m looking for some sort of simple market watcher application. One which will show the daily performance of a few selections of stock tickers.

I don’t need a full portfolio tracker - I just want to be able to input some ticker symbols and see how they managed to fair on any particular day. I don’t really like going to say, yahoo finance, because it’s just so damn noisy.

Does any sort of solution exist?

There are a couple of open source android apps like for example Candle (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.cosmos.candle)

Not sure about other platforms.

Candle is good for the phone, yes. Installed, thanks.

IOS stock app?

This would be my vote honestly.

Plenty of tools like this already exist. Trading view apple stocks built in app. If you just want the data those would be far easier. If you want to self host something just to say you did it or for the challenge, you can try your hand at python, libta, and yahoo raw data. There are ways to calculate the things you are wanting and visualizing the graphs as well. It’s pretty fun and interesting!

Edit: just found this on awesome self hosted

Thanks, yes, I have a CLI solution but I’m just looking for something to quickly check the markets via the browser. I am aware of ghostfolio, and yes, it is awesome.
