The live watchlist · quotes, moves & charts
Your tickers.
Watched properly.
Add any symbol and it joins the list with its live price, the day’s move and the session range. Tap a row and the chart opens — a month of closes drawn right here, in a canvas, no charting library. The indices strip reads the market’s pulse on every visit, and the whole list lives in your browser and nowhere else.
Above all of it runs the tape: three strips carrying what is trending, what is trading most, and the symbols the wire is naming right now — read live, priced, and each one a press away from its own chart.
Quotes are read from Yahoo Finance’s public endpoints through an open relay, and the page says so — they can lag the tape by minutes, and a symbol that will not answer is reported as exactly that. Nothing here is investment advice; it is a well-made window onto public data.

The pulse
The market, at a glance.
Four readings taken live when the page loads — the S&P 500, the Dow, the Nasdaq and Bitcoin — and re-taken whenever you ask.
Indices
The watchlist
Add a ticker, keep it watched.
Type a symbol or a company name — the lookup resolves it — or deal yourself ten at random from the catalogue. The list persists in this browser, refreshes on demand, and exports to a PDF snapshot on the labs letterhead.

Any range, drawn here.
Tap any row in the watchlist — or name a symbol directly — and pick a range, from one day to the whole history: closes as a line, the range shaded, the move for the period stated plainly. Drawn in a canvas by this page’s own hand.

About
A watchlist, not a terminal.
The stocks.systems watchlist, brought home to labs.llc and rebuilt on the paper system in both editions. The list is yours and stays in your browser; the quotes are Yahoo Finance’s public data read through an open relay and labelled with their limits; the charts are drawn by the page itself. No accounts, no keys, no advice — a clean window onto the tape.
The three strips at the top are read the same way and none of them is a stored list: trending is Yahoo’s own board, most active is its volume screener, and the news row is the symbols carried by the current headlines — weighted so a story naming two companies counts for more than a fund round-up naming fifteen, and nothing older than two days counts at all. The four calls run one after another rather than at once, because the relay answers a queue and rate-limits a crowd. A row that cannot be read says so.
