Re: Stock ticker for N800/OS2008?
 

FWIW I'm an old Market Data dinosaur.

All Web based quotes from US Exchanges will be delayed 15+ minutes to meet the exchange distribution rules - the one remaining exception is BATS Trading which also provides credible orderbook data:

Also, descriptions of domestic US stocks is freely available online if you wanted to use it for selecting stocks to display:

Re: Stock ticker for N800/OS2008?
 

I'm looking at Bats and find it very interesting. Thanks for the tip. I am wondering...

Can you get it to show just the symbols you are tracking and do you have to be a registered user to do so? If you do, is there a registration fee?

Also, do the quotes update live (without a refresh?)

Thanks!

Worked for me.

Stock plug-in is not working on my 800 with OS2008. It runs as an applet. I get a blank white window on my desktop and a confirmation window in spanish. I tried entering a stock symbol in the confirmation window and the window went away, but I still only have a white blank window on the desktop.

I just tried and it did work for me - am using N810 with OS2008 (not the latest upgrade as yet).

I guess for those for whom its not working - maybe it depends on Python, which I had installed already.

Plugged in 3 stock symbols and it gets the quotes for all three. Have to try on a market open day to see how often it refreshes.

Re: Stock ticker for N800/OS2008?
 

On the first window (settings) you have to enter a Stock symbol and then press on ADD (Adde) to add it to the 'watch'. You can keep adding a few stock symbols at a time. Then click on 'Confirma' to confirm the additions. The Symbols and the statistics show up in the Stock watcher window.

To get the settings again you have to long-click (nearly 4-5 seconds) on the window which gives a menu - Titulos (Settings window), Columnas (edit columns to show) and 'Claude' (close the applet).

P.s. - all my translations are from inference - I don't know the language also :)

i tried launching the streaming real time quote applets
from 2 stockbrokers from the os2008/n800 web browser
and they fail to load...
i assume all of the free solutions listed in this thread are delayed quotes...
i want to get free streaming real time quotes that come from a broker...
real time quotes that are not from a broker are usually a premium service.... any solutions for broker provided streaming real time quotes?

Re: Stock ticker for N800/OS2008?
 

I agree with shaky4... There should already be an applet that shows stock tickers... We have weather applet, stock tick should be a doable project. Again, we non-programmers/developers always ask, but there is little we could do since we don't know how to program.

Re: Stock ticker for N800/OS2008?
 

Theres a weather program? :D Is it a desktop widget? Could you point me in its direction please?

Re: Stock ticker for N800/OS2008?
 

OmWeather is your solution for Weather widget. It works on OS2008 on N810 flawlessly with transparent backgrounds also. Pretty nice app.
