NYSE Top 50 Trades por Libor Benes (Dr. B)

📈 NYSE Top 50 Trades brings the pulse of The New York Stock Exchange directly into your Firefox sidebar — live prices, percentage changes, and trading volume for 50 blue-chip NYSE stocks, refreshed every 60 seconds.

🔍 WHAT IT DOES:
Operating as a persistent Firefox sidebar, the extension fetches a live batch quote from Yahoo Finance every 60 seconds and displays the results in a high-contrast neon trading-terminal interface. No API key. No account. No setup.

⏱️ TRANSPARENT UPDATE CYCLE:
Unlike static tickers that update silently, NYSE Top 50 Trades makes every refresh fully visible:
• 🔵 A progress bar fills left-to-right over 60 seconds — you always know where you are in the cycle.
• 🟡 The bar turns gold and pulses during the active fetch.
• 🟢 A status dot breathes green when data is live, flashes gold while fetching, turns red on error.
• A live countdown ("Next update: 42s") tells you exactly when the next prices arrive.

📊 WHAT YOU SEE PER STOCK:
• Ticker symbol and full company name.
• Last price in USD — glows green ▲ if up, red ▽ if down from previous close.
• Percentage change with directional arrow.
• Trading volume formatted as K / M / B.
• Colour-coded sector strip on every row (gold = Finance, orange = Energy, cyan = Tech, and more).

🗂️ SORT AND FILTER:
• Click any of the 6 column headers (Symbol, Company, Price, CHG%, Volume) to sort ascending or descending — active column glows gold with a directional arrow.
• 8 sector filter buttons (Finance, Energy, Tech, Consumer, Health, Industry, Telecom, Travel) let you instantly narrow the list — perfect for Fed days, earnings season, or oil price moves.
• A thick, permanently-visible scrollbar keeps all 50 rows accessible at any time.
