In simple English
This is a stock market terminal that runs entirely on your own computer. It lets you filter thousands of US stocks, view live charts, and track financial news without paying a monthly fee. You do not need an account or an API key to use it. It stores all its data locally in a small database. The interface mimics professional Bloomberg terminals with dark themes and keyboard shortcuts.
