## What is Copper Watcher (Cu)?

Track copper prices in real time. Copper Watcher is the essential app for copper investors, scrap dealers, and metal traders.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET — Add a small or medium widget to see the live copper spot price, today's change, and a 7-day chart right on your home screen, in your selected currency. It refreshes through the day without opening the app.

LIVE SPOT PRICE — Get the current copper spot price updated throughout the trading day. View price changes, daily range, and historical charts from 1 day through MAX. Switch between line and dot chart styles. Rotate your device for immersive fullscreen charts.

COPPER ETFs & FUTURES — Follow top copper ETFs including CPER, COPX, and COPP with live prices, daily changes, and detailed price history. Monitor copper futures contracts to stay ahead of market moves.

PICKS & SHOVELS — A premium section of companies that profit from copper demand — heavy equipment makers like Caterpillar, mining service providers, and infrastructure plays. A different angle on copper exposure beyond the metal itself.

WHAT IF CALCULATOR — See what a past copper investment would be worth today. Compare your returns against the S&P 500 and copper ETFs with overlay charts. Toggle between lump sum and dollar-cost averaging strategies.

PORTFOLIO TRACKER — Track every copper purchase with live P&L. When you sell, record the sale price and date — Copper Watcher logs the realized gain and shows your cumulative profit across closed positions. Manage holdings in oz, g, kg, lb, or tonne. Mark gifts separately so they don't inflate the profit number.

SCRAP CALCULATOR — Calculate the value of copper by weight and purity instantly. Built-in grades from OFHC lab grade (100%) to #2 copper scrap (95%), with labels for every commercial purity level.

SIGNALS — Live financial news from Reuters, Bloomberg, MarketWatch, Mining.com and more, each with the publisher's logo. Live Polymarket prediction-market odds on the macro forces moving copper — Fed rate cuts, inflation, China growth, EV demand.

SMARTER SENTIMENT — The Bullish / Bearish / Neutral badge blends short-term momentum, 50-day trend health, and news-headline tone.

SEASONAL PATTERNS — A 10-year average monthly return chart shows which months copper has historically been strongest.

PRICE ALERTS — Set custom alerts for copper price targets. Get notified when copper hits your buy or sell price.

PREMIUM — Unlock the Portfolio, What-If, and Calculator tabs plus the Picks & Shovels section. Current prices and free trial details are shown on the in-app paywall.

10 CURRENCIES — View everything in CAD, USD, EUR, GBP, INR, AUD, CHF, JPY, CNY, or HKD. Your choice applies across the entire app.

LANDSCAPE CHARTS — Rotate your device to view any chart in immersive fullscreen.
