Question.
I just happened to see that Webull has a native app for Linux...Ubuntu.
It made me wonder (my brother is a very active trader) is there a platform like Webull, TastyTrader, Interactive Brokers, Etrade etc etc that has a good desktop app that works on Fedora? I mean obviously they all have web based trading...but when I see my brother he has 4 screens and all kinds of stuff going on, and I know at least one of those is his trading software and its not a web page. haha.
Does anyone know of an investment software tracking for Linux. Specifically, I need something that will update to the stock price in USA/ Canadian stocks automatically and can keep track of investment performance ( enter purchase price and date with calculation of current return).
Any recomendations from investors? I know how to do a google search but I'd like input from people who've actually used the software for a while.
So far I've done a quick evaluation of JStock and stock-portfolio-manager. (JStock seems decent)
I could live with a online solution if it has good export functionality

One that lets you access candlesticks by minute, hour, etc., and also lets you lay charts for one stock over other stocks?
If so, which one should I consider to use?
I am using investing, great app but too many trackers. I am searching for another app with no/less tracker, possibly FOSS, that can also show italian bond and btp. I tried many apps, but only investing can show that kind of stock. Thanks
Edit: the stocks i am interested can be identified only by ISIN and not by symbols (i.e MSFT or AAPL).
Hey!
I’ve been working on a terminal app for people like me who want to monitor stock prices, market news, and historical data — without needing a web browser or GUI app.
It's called stocksTUI — a cross-platform Terminal User Interface (TUI) built with Textual and powered by yfinance. If you're into finance, data, or just like cool terminal tools, you might enjoy it.
What it does:
-
Real-time-ish* stock and crypto prices
-
Latest news headlines for each ticker
-
Historical performance with ASCII charts
-
Custom watchlists (tech, indices, whatever you want)
-
Theming support (Solarized, Dracula, and more)
-
Fully configurable (refresh rate, default tab, etc.)
* Data comes from free APIs, so expect minor delays — but good enough for casual monitoring or tinkering.
Why I built it:
I like keeping my terminal open while I work, and tabbing to a browser to check the market felt clunky. So I built something I could run alongside btop, vim, and other tools — no mouse needed.
Works on:
-
Linux
-
macOS
-
Windows (via WSL2 or PowerShell)

What are some good open source software you are using in trading or investing journey of your stock market ... I m using Linux mint cinnamon any good software you will recommend for stock market related
Hey folks! I've been building an open source project called stocksTUI, and I’d love to share it with the community.
It’s a terminal UI that lets you track stock prices, crypto, news, and historical performance, right from your terminal window. It’s built with Textual and uses open APIs like yfinance for data.
Why it exists: I wanted a fast, minimal, mouse-free way to monitor the market while working — and I figured others might want the same. This project started small, but it's grown into something useful, customizable, and pretty slick looking.
Highlights: 📈 Real-time stock & crypto prices
🗞 News headlines for any ticker
📉 Historical data with ASCII charts
🎨 Theming and config support
🧪 Modular design, easy to extend
