Tickinvest - stock market monitoring software on Arch?

I found a really nice piece of software named Tickinvest but I can't find it in AUR. It sure looks better than JStock which I currently use, but looks worse than Stockmarketeye but this one also has no AUR package and is not free... I would create a package myself if I knew how, because they even offer a shell script...

The shell script they offer for download is linux equivalent of a windows self-extracting installer archive.

Usually the combination of bash +binary data can only be extracted by the script itself.
IF a way is found to extract the contents a package is possible.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

I've successfully downloaded and installed the TickInvest_1_5_2.sh file. Ensure Java is installed, run the shell file and it gives options for the installation directory and any links. After installation open the "TickInvest" file and edit line.4 and add the java path. ie. INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/opt/java. Run TickInvest.desktop and you are up and running. Have not fully investigated the working yet so no comments there.

Edit. Barely usable without purchasing full program.
