Quote Board

Symbols and live quotes

The board accepts stocks, outright futures, and calendar spreads on the same list. Search resolves against tickers and listed contracts, then live ticks keep the cells current.

Symbol kinds

  • Stock — equity tickers such as AAPL. Badge: Stk.
  • Futures — contract codes such as GCJ5 or ESU26. Badge: Fut.
  • Spread — two legs joined with a hyphen, such as GCJ5-GCK5, or combo contracts. Badge: Sprd.

Symbols are stored uppercase. Valid input is 1–32 characters of letters, digits, dots, and hyphens.

Search

The add field queries /api/quote_board/symbols and matches ticker names, ticker descriptions, and futures ticker_name values. Pick a hit or submit the symbol as typed.

How quotes update

  1. Opening the board (or adding a symbol) fetches a REST snapshot from Massive for stocks and futures clusters.
  2. The browser subscribes to QuoteBoardChannel for the active watchlist.
  3. A process-local hub multiplexes Massive websocket aggregates and fans last / change / OHLC out over Action Cable.

Last prefers the latest trade; if that is missing the cell falls back to session open. Change is last versus previous close. Empty fields render as an em dash.

Cell fields

  • Last — large figure, colored by net change (up, down, or flat).
  • Net change — signed points and percent.
  • O / H / L / C — session open, high, low, and last.
