Stocks Bar

Stocks Bar automatically refreshes stock data during trading hours and displays basic stock information in the VSCode status bar, allowing you to keep track of your stocks while using VSCode.

Stocks Bar displays only pure numbers like stock prices and percentage changes by default. When you hover over them, you can view detailed information. You can also customize the display to show stock names for better identification.

The plugin is open source, available at: Github. Welcome to star ⭐️, submit issues or pull requests!

Display Modes

Normal Display Mode

By default, Stocks Bar displays stock information in the following format:

[Stock Name/Alias] [Stock Price] [Percentage Change]%

Example: 平安 12.35 2.15%

Simple Display Mode

When simple mode is enabled, Stocks Bar displays only the stock name and percentage change:

[Stock Name/Alias] [Percentage Change]%

Example: 平安 2.15%

To enable simple mode, set the following configuration:

"stocksbar.simpleMode": true

Stock Configuration

Stock configuration can be either a stock code string or a detailed configuration object:

code: string, stock code with market prefix (see prefix explanation below)
alias: string, alias name, defaults to empty
hold_price: number, holding price, optional, defaults to 0
hold_number: number, holding quantity, optional, defaults to 0

When using stock code string like ["sz000001"], it's equivalent to [{"code": "sz000001", "alias": "", "hold_price": 0, "hold_number": 0}]

Futures Configuration

code: string, futures code, e.g., cu2409, sa2409
alias: string, futures alias
