Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a small desk display for my setup, and one of the modes I’ve been focusing on is a trading view.
The idea is to have a dedicated screen that can sit on a desk and display market info in a clean, ambient way without needing to keep another full monitor or browser tab open all the time.
Right now, the trading mode can display things like **crypto**, **stocks**, **forex**, and **commodities**, and I’ve been experimenting with different visual themes and layouts to make it feel polished
The broader device was originally built around music display features, but I’ve been pushing it more toward being a multi-use desk screen, so when music isn’t active, it can switch into widgets like time, weather, and trading.
Still early in development, but I’d genuinely love feedback from people who use TradingView or keep market data up during the day.
What would you want to see on a small dedicated trading display?
