DAKboard allows you to track your stocks with the Stock quotes block. You can use this article to learn how to set this up on your Custom Screens.


IMPORTANT:


DAKboard's legacy financial integration provider IEXcloud, discontinued its services on 8/31/24, in preparation for their discontinuation of services the DAKboard team replaced the integration with another provider on 8/20/24. As a result of the provider change we have selected, only US-based exchanges will be available going forward. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.


This new provider supplies us with the US Composite (USCOMP) exchange. This is a combination of several US exchanges including but not limited to the following:


ARCX, XASE, XPOR, FINR, XCIS, XNYS, and BATS


Your US-based exchange items should have converted automatically. If not you can recreate your block using the steps below.

To add a Stock quotes block to your custom screen select "Add a Block" while editing your custom screen and search for "Stock Quotes" under the Financial section as seen below:
