add option to print current portfolio value on the cli

It would be useful to just print the current portfolio value to use that information for historical information or to plot the value on a graph. cheers!

Yess, it would be super useful

I was about to make a post about this. I use Conky to display PC stats, and I wrote a script that uses cointop to query every 10-15 seconds to get the current price and the value of my holdings and I am able to store them to a variable and then awk it out of the output for use in Conky. I tried to do the same thing with this right off the bat, but unfortunately, it just runs the app, tying up the terminal until I ctrl+c it. It would be great if you could do something I do with cointop (which is this: echo $(/mnt/x/_programming/go/bin/cointop holdings | awk 'NR==2{print $2,$3,$5}')

I am a bit fan of ticker, so it would be great if I could also use it for this, but I understand if it is not something that is currently on the roadmap. For the time being, does anyone happen to know of anything that might do something similar?

Thanks,

Thanks for the input everyone and for articulating that use case @MostHated . Based off this suggestion and others, I can see there's a decent enough amount of interest in this feature so I'll add it to the roadmap.
