Live Ticker
The Live Ticker is a JAVA applet providing streaming real-time quotes & trades,
streaming market depth and streaming news headlines, along with live
portfolio and transaction views.
Market depth details may include depth-by-price, depth-by-order, or Level-II, as applicable.
Alarms may be set for price, volume, trades, bid/ask, new high/low, and other factors.
Stockwatch features such as the Stock Scanner and dynamic
Intraday and Historical Charts are also available.
The Live Ticker can be launched with any existing Stockwatch portfolio, or with
individually selected symbols.
The Live Ticker launches the many different information displays in separate windows.
Users with complex data display requirements should check out the
Daytrader Workstation which provides all of the features
of the Live Ticker within a managed multi-window display.)
Desktop and Ticker
The Desktop/Ticker are two standalone programs that provide streaming real-time quotes & trades,
streaming market depth and streaming news headlines, along with live portfolio and transaction views. These programs are not written in Java and contain a super-set of the features found in our streaming Java applets. They run on computers with the Windows operating sytem.
Market depth details may include depth-by-price, depth-by-order, or Level-II, as applicable. Alarms may be set for price, volume, trades, bid/ask, new high/low, and other factors. Stock scanning, Daily, Historic and Portfolio charts are included. Custom window groupings can be saved as named layouts so that they can be restored for the next session. Individual windows can be customized.
Live Html5 Streaming Webpages
Html5 streaming features have been included in our website. Clicking on "Live" or "Live Html5" will insert a streaming ticker or chart into the page.
You can view your portfolio or a group of stocks as a live ticker. The features of our other apps are supported without having to leave your browser. Level2, Market Depth, Daily and Historic charts are displayed. The charts support an array of features and technical indicators.
Daytrader Workstation
The Daytrader Workstation is a JAVA applet that enhances the functionality of
the Live Ticker through the use of a managed
multi-window display within an overall virtual desktop.
Like the Live Ticker, the Daytrader Workstation provides
streaming real-time quotes & trades, streaming market depth and
streaming news headlines, along with live portfolio and transaction views.
Market depth details may include depth-by-price, depth-by-order, or Level-II, Histogram, as applicable.
Alarms may be set for price, volume, trades, bid/ask,
new high/low, and other factors. Stockwatch features
such as the Stock Scanner and dynamic
Intraday and Historical Charts may also be launched from within
the Daytrader Workstation.
The multi-window format makes the Daytrader Workstation much more powerful, more convenient
and easier to use than the Live Ticker for active traders with complex information
display requirements. Among many advanced features, the Daytrader Workstation will
save the current window configuration and user preferences, allowing the same display
to be instantly restored the next time the Daytrader Workstation is invoked. For daily users
this vastly simplifies and accelerates the process of getting organized at the beginning of each
trading day.
Stock Scanner
Available from the Daytrader Workstation and the
Live Ticker, the Stock Scanner actively displays top
gainers or losers for a given exchange, subject to minimum/maximum criteria
such as volume, prices and trades. From 10 to 100 matches can be displayed, and
the display can be refreshed at intervals from 3 to 30 minutes. Any displayed
stocks may be added to the Daytrader Workstation or Live Ticker display.
