Stocks Help

1. Finding a ticker

• Type a company name or ticker into Enter company name or ticker search.
• After a match is found, the page nudges you toward Show stats. About 2 seconds later, that button gets focus automatically.
• Press Show stats to reveal the 5 performance columns and the action row.
• If a value in the first stats row shows N/A, you can click it and type your own percentage manually.

2. Marking a ticker

• Drop it clears the current result and takes you back to searching.
• It's on BUX is a separate toggle in the same action row. It starts off. When you turn it on, the selector becomes active, the Mark it button gets a stronger border, and a small sound confirms the change.
• Mark it opens the scoring panel. Choose the long-term stage, then save.
• After saving, the new row is scrolled into view and the short-term slider is centered so you can fine-tune it right away.
• The On BUX badge stays with that marked ticker and is also included when shared to the database.

3. Marked tickers

• The marked list is stored in your browser, so it comes back when you revisit the page.
• The 3-stage control at the top right filters your own marked tickers by age: left = older, middle = all, right = only recent items.
• The big colored pill in each row is the long-term stage you chose.
• The slider floating over that pill is your short-term feeling slider. It can change daily without changing the long-term stage.
• The round x removes a marked ticker from your browser list.

Only marked rows with the short-term slider all the way to the right can be shared to the world.

4. Share my sentiment

• The button Share my sentiment with the world only appears when at least one marked ticker has its short-term slider fully to the right.
• When you press it, only those far-right short-term rows are sent to the database.
• The shared data includes the company, ticker, long-term stage, short-term slider, summary values, and now also whether It's on BUX was enabled.

5. Top gainers today

• The list shows 3 rows at a time. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the list.
• Click a stock row once to place that exact company name into the search field.
• If the search field was filled from that list, hold the input for about 2 seconds and a Yahoo Finance link appears below it.
• Click that Yahoo link to open the chart view in a new tab/window.
• The refresh button reloads the current top gainers mode.
• When the Dutch market is open, refresh prefers Dutch gainers. Otherwise it uses USA gainers.

6. Extra hidden top-gainers tricks

• After you unlock the alternative mode with the 3-second refresh hold, the F button becomes part of the experience.
• A normal click on F checks which current rows are available in the FMP flow and marks them.
• On desktop, Ctrl + click on F loads an FMP-only top-gainers list.
• If the standard source returns nothing, the page can fall back so you still get a list instead of a blank block.

These are advanced discovery tricks, so they are intentionally a bit hidden.

7. What did others mark today?

• Press Show other users' sentiment to load rows from the database.
• Use the day arrows to browse today, yesterday, and the earlier allowed day.
• The Top number field limits how many rows are shown.
• Rows can show an On BUX badge if the original user enabled that toggle before sharing.
• The thumbs on each row are real database votes. The number inside each thumb shows the total votes for that exact shared row.
• You can vote up or down. Clicking the same active thumb again removes your vote.

8. Hidden tricks in the others section

• Drag a row out of the dark blue section to dismiss it from your own browser view.
• On touch devices, the row waits for a clearer horizontal move before it starts the dismiss gesture.
• There is also a quiet hover/arming behavior on desktop, so rows don't feel too grabby right away.

9. Quick notes

• Quick notes are a fast personal scratchpad on the right side of the first card.
• Add a short one-line note and remove it again with the round delete button.
• Quick notes are stored in your browser, just like your marked tickers list.

10. Market status at the top

• The NL and USA badges show whether each market is open, plus the day's market hours in small text.
• Hover a market badge for about 2 seconds: if the market is open, you see how long until it closes; if it is closed, you see how long until it opens.
