Summary
tickrs gets our strongest recommendation if you’re looking for a terminal-based program to monitor stock price movements. It’s well written, extremely frugal with resources, and offers a good range of features.
We are a little concerned that the program is reliant on its data from Yahoo! Finance. The Yahoo! Finance API is also intended for personal use only. It would be desirable if tickrs add support for other data sources. This is one of the virtues of Gamestonk Terminal.
tickrs is cross-platform software running under Linux, Android, macOS, and Windows.
