How MarketCast runs on the Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen)

MarketCast checks how much memory a device has when it starts. Devices with under about 1.6 GB of memory, like the Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen), get a lighter display mode that skips scene cross-fades and trims some effects. For example, Market Desk drops its sparkline backdrops. Your prices, charts, news and lists are exactly the same.

  • Lighter display mode means no scene cross-fades and a few trimmed dashboard effects. Prices, charts, news and your lists all work normally.
  • If you want the full set of animations, step up to a Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
  • It is an affordable way to put a second ticker on a TV in an office or spare room.

What you get, free and in Premium

  • Free: the market stream, business news, price charts, market movers, a portfolio and a watch list, and forex on the ticker tape. Supported by commercials and sponsors.
  • Premium: no commercials, real-time stock prices, crypto around the clock, unlimited custom lists, portfolio news, a daily brief, premium stream scenes, the Stock Wall and Market Desk, and more.

Premium is billed through your TV's app store, which shows the current price for your region. See the plans page for the full comparison.
