# Price ticker

A React component in [Beamline](https://beamline.io/)'s [Trading](https://beamline.io/components/trading) category. Live demo: https://beamline.io/components/price-ticker

Symbol, last price with a directional flash, 24h change and stats.

## Use it for

- The header of a market or a watch tile.

## Not for

- A scrolling row of many symbols → [ticker-tape](https://beamline.io/components/ticker-tape).

## Anatomy

- symbol and name
- price (last-move arrow + colour, flashes once)
- 24h change chip (tint, ▲/▼, sign)
- stale chip (caller's words)
- stats (24h high, low, volume)

## Variants

- **layout**: bar, card

## States

- live (price coloured by its last move, with ▲/▼)
- flat (no move yet: ink, no arrow)
- stale (warning chip with a clock; figures stay readable)
- no data (— in ink-3, no change chip; never 0)

## Keyboard

- Read-only.

## Motion

A moved price tints in its direction's colour and fades over 600ms; its arrow and colour stay until the next move. Nothing slides or counts. Reduced motion: no tint fade, values still update.
