⚡ Live Market Dashboard — Complete Guide

Real-time price tracking, AI predictions, and data quality explained.

🚧 BETA Feature — The Live Market Dashboard is under active development. The AI prediction engine is experimental. Do not use it as the sole basis for trading decisions.

What Is the Live Market Dashboard?

The Live Market Dashboard lets you track a custom list of stocks with live prices refreshed every 15 seconds. It shows price, dollar/percent change, an AI-generated directional prediction, a data quality score, and the time of the last update — all in a single table.

Data is fetched via Yahoo Finance (proxied through the TradePro Cloudflare Worker) — no API key required. If you have FMP or TwelveData keys configured, they can serve as fallbacks.

How to Use It

  1. Type a stock symbol (e.g. TSLA) in the Add Symbol field and press Enter or click Add.
  2. The symbol appears in the table and starts polling every 15 seconds.
  3. The AI Prediction column shows "Analyzing..." until at least 10 data points have been collected (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. The Quality dot shows how reliable the current data point is.
  5. Remove symbols with the 🗑️ button.

Table Columns Explained

Symbol & Price

Symbol — The stock ticker you added (e.g. AAPL, TSLA).

Price — Current market price in USD, as reported by Yahoo Finance.

Change ($) & Change (%)

How much the stock has moved compared to yesterday's closing price.

Previous close is fetched from Yahoo Finance's chartPreviousClose field, which matches what you see on finance.yahoo.com.

AI Prediction

A rules-based directional signal generated from recent price ticks collected since you added the symbol.

LabelMeaning
📈 BullishRecent trend and momentum suggest upward price movement
📉 BearishRecent trend and momentum suggest downward price movement
➡️ NeutralNo clear directional signal in recent ticks
Analyzing...Fewer than 10 data points collected — not enough to generate a signal

Important: The AI only looks at price ticks since you added the symbol in this session. It has no access to historical OHLCV data. It reflects short-term intraday momentum only.

Confidence

How confident the AI is in its prediction (0–100%). Starts low and builds as more ticks are collected.

The model calibrates itself using a 65% success threshold — predictions that historically resolve correctly ≥65% of the time are considered reliable enough to show.

Quality Dot

A colored dot indicating how reliable the current data point is, based on API response time, data completeness, and data age.

DotScoreMeaning
Green≥80%Fresh, complete data — high reliability
Yellow60–79%Acceptable quality — minor latency or partial data
Red<60%Low quality — stale, slow, or incomplete response

Time

Timestamp (HH:MM:SS) when the last data point was received. Normally refreshes every 15 seconds during market hours.

AI Prediction Thresholds

The AI uses a combination of linear regression on price history and momentum scoring. Here are the exact thresholds:

ConditionSignalInitial Confidence
Change % > +0.5%📈 Bullish~40–60%
Change % < -0.5%📉 Bearish~40–60%
|Change %| < 0.5%➡️ Neutral~40%

AI Feature Weights

When enough data is available, the AI combines multiple signals using these weights:

Data Sources & Fallback Chain

Data is fetched in this priority order:

🌐 Yahoo Finance (free, no key needed) 📊 FMP (if API key set) 📈 AlphaVantage (if key set) 📡 TwelveData (if key set) 🎭 Demo Mode
💡 Tip: If you see the orange Demo Mode banner, no real data is available. Check your internet connection or try reloading the page.

Patterns Detected

When 10+ ticks are available, the AI scans for four pattern types:

PatternWhat It Means
TrendConsistent upward or downward price slope across recent ticks (linear regression)
ReversalTrend direction switched in the latter half of the observation window
BreakoutPrice moves significantly beyond recent range
Support/ResistancePrice repeatedly bouncing near the same level

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the AI say "Analyzing..." even after a few minutes? The AI requires a minimum of 10 data ticks (about 2–3 minutes at 15s intervals) before it can run pattern recognition. If data quality is low (red dot), some ticks may be discarded, extending this period.
Why is the confidence always below 75%? The 75% threshold represents "high confidence" and requires consistent signal direction across multiple patterns. During low-volatility or sideways markets, signals tend to be weaker and confidence stays lower.
Does the AI use historical data? No. It only uses price ticks collected since you added the symbol in the current session. For full historical analysis, use the Strategy Performance Dashboard or Market Pattern Recognition tools instead.
The price doesn't match what I see on Yahoo Finance? Prices are fetched every 15 seconds and may be slightly delayed. After market hours, the price shown is the last trade price, not the after-hours price. The data source is the same Yahoo Finance used on finance.yahoo.com.
What does the orange BETA banner mean? This feature is still in active development. The AI model, quality scoring, and data handling are being improved. Treat all AI signals as supplementary information, not trading advice.
⚠️ Disclaimer: The Live Market Dashboard is a BETA feature. AI predictions are based on short-term intraday price patterns only and are experimental. They do not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research before making trading decisions. Past signal performance does not guarantee future accuracy.
