This Device turns your Desk Into a Stock Ticker Display

Isaac Taylor

If you’re obsessed with stocks or Crypto, and check how your numbers are doing every ten minutes then the Tickrmeter is your next must buy.
Tickrmeter is a physical block that sits on your desk displaying the latest up to date numbers of how your favourite stocks are doing. If you’re wondering why the screen seems so “flat” and unshiny, it’s due to the screen being made from E-Paper. If you’re familiar with E-readers you already know exactly how this goes. It doesn’t emit light, and in so doing can naturally fade into your everyday life, instead of being yet another glaring device. That also means it has 180 degree viewing angle and ultra low battery usage.

Refresh times can be customised from your phone, and a status bar (that does light up if you want it) on the right can be tweaked to reflect candle colour, RSI, or alert. Say for instance you want to sell a trade at $2, you can set an alert via the app that also queues audibly to let you know you better get to selling.

Via wifi it pulls financial data from Polygon.io giving it a latency of just 20ms. This is undermined somewhat by the e-paper refresh times, which is 0.3 seconds when it’s refreshing the entire screen. However this time is usually much lower due to only needing to refresh the price number. You can buy multiple displays to stack on your desk, or you can keep things compact by having one display cycle through 10 different stocks each. The app allows you to set up playlists which means you can set how long each trade displays for, and where abouts in the order it appears.

Gain tracking is also enabled underneath the main price, to let you know exactly how you’re doing at a glance.

In the box it comes with a daisy chain cable to connect multiple Tickrmeters together as well as a 3.5 metre power cable.

Prices start at $134.
