It is a program for tracking stocks over the internet. The author recently added the ability to get realtime quotes from Datek. Datek's url is http://www.datek.com Here is what the author has to say about this new feature. The QuoteGrabber is a stand-alone Java application that provides live continuously updated quotes and charts from the Internet. Real-time quotes from the US markets and delayed quotes from the US, Canadian, French, German and Italian markets are provided at this time. The basic purpose of this program is to keep one's favorite stocks neatly organized inside separate portfolios. The expected purpose is a little more ambitious: improve one's short-term trading decisions by giving a better view of market data. Version 1.0.2 has been released with the following features: 1.Real-time quotes. Registered users having an account with Datek can access real-time market data from the NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX. This feature is only supported under Windows and Linux for now. (note: we could port our native real-time data module to other Unix platforms if interested users wish to trade an account on their machine for a free license, OS/2 experts are kindly invited to contact us with suggestions on how to cross-compile for their platform). Here is the author's email address: mito@aparima.com and web site: http://www.aparima.com/quote/ If someone can help him with this, it would make this the first program of its kind that I know of that can get realtime quotes from a mainstream souce. No longer would we OS/2 users be second class citizens in the stock market. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
