When to use Quick Quote
- Symbol headers and compact stock-detail summaries
- Article, news, portfolio, or watchlist sidebars
- Multi-widget workspaces that need lightweight price context
- Pages where a full interactive chart would be unnecessarily heavy
Core experience
The primary quote should clearly identify the symbol, exchange, company, price, change, market session, and timestamp. When the market is closed, keep the latest regular-session close as the primary value and display pre-market or post-market values as labeled secondary information. Statistics should use consistent units and abbreviations. Never mix delayed and real-time values without an explicit status label.Data and session states
Support loading, invalid-symbol, delayed-data, market-closed, extended-hours, entitlement, reconnecting, and error states. Preserve the last valid quote during brief reconnects and label it as potentially stale. Price, change, and timestamp must refer to the same session. If extended-hours values are unavailable, hide the row rather than showing a misleading zero.Responsive behavior
At narrow widths, prioritize symbol, latest price, price change, market session, and timestamp. Secondary statistics may wrap into a compact grid or collapse behind a disclosure control. Avoid truncating the security symbol or price.Accessibility
- Give the iframe a descriptive title that includes the active widget name.
- Ensure updated prices remain readable without excessive screen-reader announcements.
- Pair positive and negative colors with signs, labels, or icons.
- Keep timestamps and session labels available to assistive technologies.
- Provide visible focus for clickable symbol and company elements.
Best practices
- Use an exchange-qualified symbol when the production contract supports it.
- Show extended-hours information only when it is relevant and available.
- Reserve enough height for statistics to avoid layout shift.
- Keep the quote synchronized with the surrounding symbol page.
- Test market-open, market-closed, invalid-symbol, and reconnecting states.
