How MarketCast runs on the Fire TV Stick 4K

MarketCast picks its display mode from the memory in your particular model, so the two versions get different modes.

  • The 2018 Fire TV Stick 4K has 1.5 GB of memory, below the line where MarketCast turns on its lighter display mode, so it runs that mode.
  • The 2023 Fire TV Stick 4K has 2 GB and runs the full display.
  • Not sure which you have? On the Fire TV, open Settings, then My Fire TV, then About, to see your model.

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.
