Stock Watchdesk

A compact, local dashboard to add stocks and compare multiple TradingView charts side by side — plus market context, per-symbol research links, and a private trade journal. No API keys, no build step, no backend database. Everything you add stays in your own browser.

Run

Requires Node.js 18+ (no dependencies to install).

git clone https://github.com/yuannh/stock-watchdesk.git
cd stock-watchdesk
npm start          # or: node server.js

Then open:

http://127.0.0.1:8010/index.html

The server binds to 127.0.0.1 only and serves a fixed allowlist of static files with Cache-Control: no-store, so charts always reflect live TradingView data.

Features

• Watchlist — add or remove tickers; click to focus a symbol.
• Multi-chart compare — pin up to 4 symbols and view their charts side by side.
• Main chart — full TradingView Advanced Chart for the active symbol, with selectable interval (1m–1W).
• Market Pulse — TradingView market overview for indices and commodities.
• Research links — one-click TradingView / Yahoo / Nasdaq / Google Finance / SEC for the active symbol.
• Trade journal — quick notes per symbol, stored locally in your browser via localStorage.

How it works

• Charts and market data come directly from TradingView embedded widgets — there is no server-side data fetching and no caching layer.
• Your watchlist, pinned symbols, interval, and journal are persisted in localStorage. They never leave your machine.
• Default symbols reset only when WATCHLIST_VERSION in app.js is bumped, so updates can refresh defaults without wiping what you've added.

Add your own symbols

Type a ticker in the watchlist box (e.g. TSLA) and press +. To use a specific exchange, use the EXCHANGE:TICKER form (e.g. NYSE:BRK.B). Your additions are saved automatically.
