Summary
mop is a useful stock market tracker that provides concise information in a terminal. It’s a great way of monitoring key information about a large number of stocks using minimal screen estate.
We would have preferred the ability to customize the three hard-coded lines of information. For example, it doesn’t show the GBP/USD exchange rate although this can be added into the ticker list.
Hopefully the currency bug is fixed. UPDATE 12 January 2022: Bug has been fixed. The utility now receives our strong recommendation.
