-r, --add-rows=LIST   Add rows for asset specifiers in LIST (comma-separated,
                      see ASSET SPECIFIERS below). Can also be used to supply
                      a USD exchange rate for missing assets.

The script has two display modes: ‘overview’, the default, and ‘trading’, the
latter being enabled when a TRADE_SPECIFIER argument (see below) is supplied
on the command line.

Overview mode displays prices of all configured assets, and optionally the
user’s portfolio, while trading mode displays the price of a given quantity
of an asset in relation to other assets, optionally comparing an offered
price to the spot price.

ASSETS consist of either a symbol (e.g. ‘xmr’) or full ID (see --list-ids)
consisting of symbol plus label (e.g. ‘xmr-monero’).  In cases where the
symbol is ambiguous, the full ID must be used.  Examples:

  chf                   - specify asset by symbol
  chf-swiss-franc-token - same as above, but use full ID instead of symbol

ASSET SPECIFIERS have the following format:

  ASSET[:RATE]

If the asset referred to by ASSET is not in the source data (see --list-ids),
an arbitrarily chosen label may be used.  RATE is the USD exchange rate of
the asset.  When RATE is postfixed with the letter ‘r’, its meaning is
reversed, i.e. interpreted as ‘ASSET/USD’ instead of ‘USD/ASSET’.  Asset
specifier examples:

  inr:79.5               - INR is not in the source data, so supply rate of
                           79.5 INR to the Dollar (USD/INR)
  inr:0.01257r           - same as above, but use reverse rate (INR/USD)
  inr-indian-rupee:79.5  - same as first example, but add an arbitrary label
  omr-omani-rial:2.59r   - Omani Rial is pegged to the Dollar at 2.59 USD

A TRADE_SPECIFIER is a single argument in the format:

  ASSET:AMOUNT[:TO_ASSET[:TO_AMOUNT]]

  Examples:

    xmr:17.34          - price of 17.34 XMR in all configured assets
    xmr-monero:17.34   - same as above, but with full ID
    xmr:17.34:eur      - price of 17.34 XMR in EUR only
    xmr:17.34:eur:2800 - commission on an offer of 17.34 XMR for 2800 EUR

  TO_AMOUNT, if included, is used to calculate the percentage difference or
  commission on an offer compared to the spot price.

  If either ASSET or TO_ASSET refer to assets not present in the source data,
  a USD rate for the missing asset(s) must be supplied via the --add-columns
  or --add-rows options.


                                 PROXY NOTE

The remote server used to obtain the price data, {api_host!r}, blocks
Tor behind a Captcha wall, so a Tor proxy cannot be used directly.  If you’re
concerned about privacy, connect via a VPN, or better yet, VPN over Tor. Then
set up an HTTP proxy (e.g. Privoxy) on the VPN’ed host and set the ‘proxy’
option in the config file or --proxy on the command line accordingly.  Or run
the script directly on the VPN’ed host with ’proxy’ or --proxy set to the
null string.

Alternatively, you may download the JSON source data in a Tor-proxied browser
from ‘{api_url}’, save it as ‘ticker.json’ in your
configured cache directory, and run the script with the --cached-data option.


                             RATE LIMITING NOTE

To protect user privacy, all filtering and processing of data is performed
client side so that the remote server does not know which assets are being
examined.  This means that data for ALL available assets (currently over 4000)
is fetched with each invocation of the script.  A rate limit of {L} seconds
between calls is thus imposed to prevent abuse of the remote server.  When the
--btc option is in effect, this limit is reduced to {B} seconds.  To bypass the
rate limit entirely, use --cached-data.


                                  EXAMPLES

# Basic display in ‘overview’ mode:
$ mmnode-ticker

# Display BTC price only:
$ mmnode-ticker --btc

# Wide display, add EUR and OMR columns, OMR/USD rate, extra precision and
# proxy:
$ mmnode-ticker -w -c eur,omr-omani-rial:2.59r -e2 -x http://vpnhost:8118

# Wide display, use cached data from previous network query, show portfolio
# (see above), pipe output to pager, add DOGE row:
$ mmnode-ticker -wCFP -r doge

# Display 17.234 XMR priced in all configured assets (‘trading’ mode):
$ mmnode-ticker xmr:17.234

# Same as above, but add INR price at specified USDINR rate:
$ mmnode-ticker -c inr:79.5 xmr:17.234

# Same as above, but view INR price only at specified rate, adding label:
$ mmnode-ticker -c inr-indian-rupee:79.5 xmr:17.234:inr

# Calculate commission on an offer of 2700 USD for 0.123 BTC, compared to
# current spot price:
$ mmnode-ticker usd:2700:btc:0.123

# Calculate commission on an offer of 200000 INR for 0.1 BTC, compared to
# current spot price, at specified USDINR rate:
$ mmnode-ticker -n -c inr-indian-rupee:79.5 inr:200000:btc:0.1
