Live Price Change Ticker Widget
A local change tape for one symbol built from recent candle closes — a small, familiar strip of the last several moves for a sidebar or ticker slot.
The real embed in preview mode — synthetic data, no API key, zero network calls. Live data starts once you add your key.
Each additional domain slot adds half the base price.
A fast answer to one useful question.
A local change tape for one symbol built from recent candle closes — a small, familiar strip of the last several moves for a sidebar or ticker slot.
- Recent close-to-close change tape · one symbol.
- Pick the instrument with symbol=; it defaults to BTCUSD when you omit it.
- Renders inside a sandboxed Shadow DOM, so it cannot collide with your page’s CSS or scripts.
- Gateway kind
- ohlc
- Symbol axis
- One symbol, set from the embed
- Allowed
- BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD
- Default
- BTCUSD
- Pinned timeframe
- H1
- Pinned limit

- Refresh
- ~15 s, cached
Every value here is what the gateway enforces, not a description of it. A parameter outside this scope is rejected before any data is fetched.
Small enough for a sidebar. Useful enough for a homepage.
Market Pulse is a compact derived-data module rather than a full dashboard. It works best where you want one concise market observation with a clearly stated data basis.

Market-dashboard footer module
One script tag. No chart library. No build step.
Subscribe, authorize the domains that will host the widget, copy your public
wk_ key, and paste the snippet where you want Market Pulse to render.
Subscribe & authorize domains
Your subscription includes 1 domain slot. Add more slots when the same widget needs to run on more sites.
Copy the public widget key
The wk_ key is meant to appear in the page source. It is restricted to the domains you authorize and can be revoked.
Paste the embed
Choose your theme and symbol, then drop the generated script tag into the page.
<script src="https://tickatlas.com/widgets/embed.js?w=market-pulse&k=wk_YOUR_KEY&symbol=BTCUSD"></script>
Light is the default, so the snippet stays clean. Dark appends &theme=dark;
Auto appends &theme=auto and follows each visitor’s system preference.
Picking one re-renders the preview above in that theme.
Small configuration surface. Predictable output.
The querystring on the embed.js script tag stays intentionally compact.
Most sites only need the widget slug, the public widget key, a symbol and a theme.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| w | string | Yes | Widget slug — fixed to “market-pulse” for this widget. |
| k | string | No | Your public wk_ key. With it the widget goes live on your authorized domains; omit it for the SIMULATED preview (synthetic data, zero network). Default: preview mode. |
| symbol | symbol | No | The symbol to display, uppercased. Must be within the widget’s allowed set. Allowed: BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD. Default: BTCUSD. |
| mode | enum | No | Force preview even with a key, e.g. for a staging page. Allowed: live, preview. Default: live when k is present, else preview. |
| theme | enum | No | Colour theme. light (default) is today’s look; dark uses a WCAG-AA dark palette; auto follows each visitor’s system (prefers-color-scheme). Omit for light. Allowed: light, dark, auto. Default: light. |
Default symbol
Omit symbol= and the gateway serves BTCUSD.
Allowed instruments
Set symbol= to any one of these 4.
Public embed key outside. Short-lived access inside.
The browser-facing key is domain-scoped by design. The embed exchanges it through our gateway, calls the hosted widget endpoint with short-lived authorization, and renders inside an isolated Shadow DOM.
A sandboxed Shadow DOM with all:initial keeps your page’s styles and scripts out and the widget’s styles in. It fits its container’s width, never wider.
The public wk_ key only renders on domains you add to the subscription, and you can revoke it from your dashboard at any time.
It refreshes about every 15 seconds against cached data, so many visitors collapse onto one computation. Over the per-key / per-domain limit the gateway returns 429 and the widget keeps its last frame.
No current data, a revoked key or an unauthorized domain all produce an explicit “unavailable” state — never a fabricated or zeroed value, and never a thrown error on your page.
Market Pulse subscription
Base subscription includes 1 domain slot.
- Live widget data on the domains you authorize
- Light, dark and auto themes
- Any one of its allowed instruments
- A public, revocable widget key
- Cancel any time; the embed stays live through the paid month
Domain slot calculator
Each additional domain adds half the base price.
1 domain slot = $9.99 base subscription. Slots are fixed at purchase; manage domains and your key from your dashboard.
The embed has a simple hosted endpoint behind it.
The embed calls this endpoint for you on each refresh, using a short-lived token
minted from your wk_ key — your key never leaves the gateway.

outside this set is rejected by the gateway before any data is fetched, and the
widget shows its “unavailable” state.

A local change tape built from recent candle closes — a familiar strip of the last several moves, not a forecast.
