Stonks

Stonks publishes market-data pulse into the GameCult CultMesh Verse.

It polls public equity/ETF and crypto endpoints, normalizes the result into CultCache state, and exposes a provider-owned Eve/CultUI surface for Odin and renderers such as Nightwing.

Current Body

• Provider id: stonks.market
• Eve deck: ws://127.0.0.1:8802/eve/deck
• Provider manifest: http://127.0.0.1:8802/eve/deck/providers
• Health: http://127.0.0.1:8802/health
• Snapshot: http://127.0.0.1:8802/market/state
• CultCache state: scratch/stonks/stonks-state.cc
• Request events: persisted as keyed stonks.request_event.v1 CultCache documents and summarized in the Eve dashboard. Raw request ledgers are not shown as dashboard truth.
• Default focus: gaming and tech public names such as Ubisoft, EA, Take-Two, Roblox, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, Google, Meta, Apple, TSMC, Tesla, ASML, Corsair, Logitech, and Sea.
• Private watch names: Musk Complex is represented explicitly as mixed public/private exposure: TSLA is tracked through the public TSLA.US quote, while SpaceX, xAI/X, Neuralink, and Boring need provider-owned news, disclosure, or secondary-market feeds before Stonks treats their movement as data.

Data Sources

• Equities/ETFs: Finnhub quote endpoint. Set FINNHUB_API_KEY or STONKS_FINNHUB_TOKEN; the daemon defaults to 48 quote calls/minute so it stays below the free-plan 60 calls/minute ceiling.
• Crypto: CoinGecko simple price endpoint.
• Mention radar: Hacker News Algolia search, IGN RSS, and Eurogamer RSS. These feeds steer which configured symbols Finnhub samples first; they do not own market state.

The daemon is for operator visibility and ambient market context. It is not financial advice and does not place trades.

Configure defaults with:

$env:FINNHUB_API_KEY="..."
$env:STONKS_EQUITY_CALLS_PER_MINUTE="48"
$env:STONKS_MENTION_REFRESH_MS="600000"
$env:STONKS_EQUITIES="ubi.fr,ea.us,ttwo.us,rblx.us,ntdoy.us,nvda.us,amd.us,tsla.us"
$env:STONKS_CRYPTO="bitcoin,ethereum,solana,dogecoin"
$env:STONKS_PRIVATE_WATCH="Musk Complex"

You can also put the Finnhub token in finnhub-oauth.txt at the repo root or pass --finnhubTokenFile/STONKS_FINNHUB_TOKEN_FILE.

At the default 15 second poll interval and 48 calls/minute budget, Stonks pulls up to 12 Finnhub equity quotes per refresh. It prioritizes recently mentioned watch symbols, uncached symbols, and then a round-robin pass across the configured watchlist.
