Using Latest Metal Prices on the Dashboard
The Latest Metal Prices card shows market or supplier-document evidence in your working currency and lets you choose up to five metals.
Market is the default view
Each time Home loads, the card starts on Market.
Use Supplier Documents to temporarily view metal-price observations captured from supplier documents. The source switch is not saved as a preference.
Choose up to five metals
Select Choose Metals to open the scrolling metal picker.
The picker shows:
- a checkbox;
- the metal name;
- the pricing basis.
You can select from one to five metals. Once five are selected, additional unchecked choices are disabled until you clear one.
Your selected metals are saved to your user preferences and remain selected after refresh.
Direct and derived market prices
A pricing basis of Direct market means Prisflux has direct market evidence for that metal.
A pricing basis such as Derived from Gold means Prisflux uses the accepted parent-metal market relationship and the metal's market factor. The card shows this provenance rather than presenting the derived value as a direct observation.
Supplier Documents are stricter
In Supplier Documents view, Prisflux shows exact supplier-document evidence for the selected metal when it exists.
If a selected metal has no supplier-document observation, the metal stays in your chosen layout and shows No supplier observation. Prisflux does not silently substitute a different metal.
Date, time, source, and change
Market observations show their observation timestamp and market source.
Supplier-document observations show the document price date and, where relevant, the import/capture time separately.
A positive or negative percentage is the change from the previous observation in the same source stream. Hover the information icon beside the percentage for an explanation.
Currency
/ oz and / dwt values display in your current working currency. This presentation does not alter the underlying canonical price evidence.
