FAQ
Stock search fails?
Make sure your network can reach Sina and Tencent market APIs, or enter the full code directly (e.g. sh600519, hk00700).
Status bar too crowded?
Reduce maxDisplayCount, enable miniMode or showMiniName to compress width, or reorder stocks to show the most important ones first.
Auto-hide not working?
Trading hours are weekdays 9:15–11:30 and 13:00–15:00. After manually toggling visibility, restart VS Code to resume auto mode.
