Yes, this is fantastic. I think MSNBC has a feed, but not sure of how interactive it is (think I read that somewhere from a developer). Very pleased with the appearance, and look forward to customizing to my portfolio.

FYI...I selected "This is amazing" in your poll, and not the second one. I felt it unfair to send you half of my gains since you're not willing to take half my losses (down 56% in the last 45 days...UGH).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] elparra72:
Your application looks fine

Great job. It's a pre-pre-pre version and needs a lot of development but it looks fine ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] biomigro:
looks great! will love it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] thebiscuitboy:
Very cool app, would love to see this go further :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stpete111:
I don't know of any that are free unfortunately. All the services want "power-trader" subscription fees to be able to get true realtime. If anyone finds a true free realtime feed, let us know!

In the meantime, a delay is fine with me since I won't be making spot trading decisions based on what my phone is telling me at any given second.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
I have just updated the cab to version 0.2 -- you can now edit the quote lists and set the download rate!

Check the first post...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] theoottesen:
this is so great, thank you so much for your work, i have been waiting for something like this for a long time. and it's so easy on the eyes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] argov:
very nice apps, need to add some error handling in case of wrong symbol, the app just crush.

thanks,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Oops! It's fixed now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cellneuron:
This program is amazing. I like it very much.

Just some ideas for further development.

1. Please add an "exit" command. I don't know how to exit this program.

2. For the updates, please add a timer on it since market time is only from 9 to 4pm.

3. can you make it response to direction keys?

Thanks.

is it still only US stocks i tried adding TD.TO and RY-PH.TO, they didnt work...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Are you sure? They work fine for me. RY-PH.TO is 22.50 and TD.TO is 55.86.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bugz213:
ah thanks

I got it working, I was always adding the ^ when doing it before.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brainstorming:
Very good idea. Some ticker charts don`t work from finance.yahoo.com, but from es.finance.yahoo.com, for instance.

Very good work!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
Thanks for the link but my touch pro from sprint does not have that xml file :) I edited the system file 27c65cbd_manila in the windows folder. I will upload directions once I figure out how to make the file open.

Attached are the two screen shots one with the link there the other with the erroe msg saying tickertape.exe is not signed with a trusted certificate. anyone have any idea how to get around this error? Did I cause this error when I edited the exe to change the icon file?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
If you edited the exe, then the trust you established when you installed the cab is no longer valid, because it is intended to protect you from tampering (even if you tamper with it yourself). :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
I thought that too but I un-installed Tickertape then reinstalled the un-tampered exe...no luck. I moved the all files from "\Program Files\Ticker Tape" to "\Windows\" and still no luck and still get the same error. I have been searching but can't find an answer...don't worry I will figure it out. Maybe I have to cook it into the ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Maybe the stuff on that tab needs to REALLY be signed for it to work, although I'm not sure why it would be different from the Programs tab. I haven't gone through the hassle/expense of getting a VeriSign certificate yet, so I can't sign the exe for real. I could sign it with the fake cert that MS provides for development, but in theory it still wouldn't be valid on a real device.

BTW, thanks! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
I will play around with it tonight and see what kind of programs I can get to link to the page and see if there is a way around it being a signed program. Your welcome and you are the one putting all the work in :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kalinuset:
Damn Good APP.

Thank you so much for this great job!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] an123:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] supersobbie:
WOW... this is a very nice looking applications. I can not wait to give it a try. Thanks,

SoBBie
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] coolguy949:
Great app. As a future request, an "Exit" option would be nice so I dont have to end the app from the task manager.

Also, it would be nice to have an option to go to the yahoo page for the quote for more info.

currency and oil

Is it possible to put the price of brent crude and the world currencies and maybe some other commodites?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 69mach1:
Thanks for the great app.

I tried to get the inga.as and fora.as tickers but they don't work?

Has anybode got NL charts except for the aex index on their phone?

ROb
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
The symbols for Brent Crude futures can be found here ... there are about 600 of them, so it depends on which one you want.

The FAQ in the 2nd post explains where to find symbols for currencies and other stuff.

Happy trading! ;)

Source code

Hi:

I am a programer and i want to develop for Windows Mobile, and... can you send me the source code of the program TickerTape?. I am so interested...

I want to make programs that capture internet datas and shows then in Windows Mobile programs.

Thanks...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Both INGA.AS and FORA.AS work fine for me. Make sure you're not putting the caret (^) in front of the symbols.

I'm not sure what you mean about the charts, so can't help you there. Maybe someone else knows what you're talking about and can help. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 69mach1:
That is strange.

I tried FORA.AS but with no result.

I do have got aex, hangseng, eurdollar, .. working.

but no dutch individual fonds

Anybody?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pogeypetey:
Really cool

Is there a way to get commodity pricing incorporated into this? Ie oil price/gold...? I am an idiot... need to read posts before opening my big fat... uh... fingers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pogeypetey:
Oooh Oooh Oooh

So I found this

Light Sweet Crude prices and other commodities.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Excellent, I'll add it to the FAQ. Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
brillisnt app thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Are you running it on your desktop?? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ld-runner:
GeckoDev, please, please, please...make this app run on a touch flo tab.

that would be the greatest thing ever. to help motivate the development, i am donating today!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Sure thing, boss. :D

I've looked into it a little bit already, but I haven't had much time in the last couple weeks.

I'm hoping to post a small update soon though, and I'd like to see it in TF3D too, so who knows ... maybe it'll be an option in the next update.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
So ... does anyone want an update today, even if it's a small one? Here's what I have so far:

Added swipe (gesture) to change lists

Added EXIT BUTTON (<-- look at that, cellneuron! :D)

Tweaked menu item borders to look better

Changed application icon

I'm working on the ability to rearrange lists/tickers, but not sure if I'll have it done this weekend.

I'm also toying around with a GUI redesign that uses less screen real estate, which is a first step towards making it work as a tab in TF3D. I'll post some screenshots to get some feedback when I'm happy with it.

I have also been working on a way to adjust the quote time to your local zone, but that's actually harder than it might seem. :)

Anyway, I just wanted to know if the updates I have so far are worth it, or if I should wait until there's a little more substance to it. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
Yes please! :D

I wouldn't worry too much about that because we know what exchange our quotes are on.

Totally worth it...Thanks for all your hard work! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
It looks like you were right after all...I just didn't kill the power and reset like I should have :(

Would anyone like to me upload a zip file of 27c65cbd_manila edited to add Ticker Tape to the internet page in TF3D?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Yeah, go ahead and upload it.

But it looks like you're the only one that cares about getting an update. :D

What did it for you ... swipe to change lists?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
No I am just the only one online on a Sunday afternoon :D

I don't know exactly but I got to the point to where I just deleted every file that had to do with ticker tape and changed 27c65cbd_manila back to the original and then pulled the battery for a few seconds and then reinstall ticker tape, edited 27c65cbd_manila and BAM it worked? Just like you said:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
Attached is a zip file of an edited system file located in the "\Windows\" directory called 27c65cbd_manila. This file dictates what you see your your internet page in TF3D.

If you unzip this file in to the "\Windows\" folder of your Diamond or TP you will get a link to ticker tape on the internet page in TF3D as shown in this screen shot below. If you want to undo the changes attached in the other zip is the original 27c65cbd_manila system file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hebbe:
update! update! update! :D

this is definitely one of my favorite winmobile apps!!!

thank you so much for your excellent work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BigQ:
Very useful......Thank you very much...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zcai2672:
Been looking for an app like this for a very long time! thanks alot buddy, if I ever win anything from investing in stocks, I PROMISE I will donate money to the developer. please keep up the good effort! I will be sure keep a close eye on this thread!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Small Update

OK, a very small update is in the first post. The changes are listed in the 2nd post, and in this post (which also lists some of the things that are currently in progress).

Be sure to check out fryman's post here for a way to add Ticker Tape to the Internet tab in TF3D!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hanackin:
thanks for this update :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] prodigy7:
thx @developer(s) for this nice software - that what i'm long looking for.

2 things i have:

a) Is it possible, implement other stock places? It would be nice, if i could get the updated (german) ticker from http://de.finance.yahoo.com/. Also it would be nice, if I could enter WKN or ISIN.

b) The menu on the bottom is a little bit to small. If it would have the "normal" size, it would be easier with fingers, touching it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Genius2000:
Many thanks for this useful application, could you arrange to set the update time as per local settings (in my case GMT +1)?

Ciao, Andrea

Edit: Forgot this request, I wrote before I read :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fat Boy:
Thanks for the update and thanks for the zip file as well. Great App.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] justauser:
Very nice but kills pocket outlook

I really like the app, but every time I start it Pocket Outlook disappears. And when I start PO, this app disappears. ANy idea?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
Did the zip file work for you? when I installed the update my link broke again :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mr_ding:
I believe the stock update from Google Finance is faster than Yahoo Finance.

Here's the 4 major index link from Google.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fat Boy:
nope but thanks for the effort.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zcai2672:
I've donated some small amount to you for your effort.

I am using 0.51 now and the finger swap is a very nice addition.

just some suggestion;

if you can add a menu function that can display the summery of a selected company in a single page that

includes some important info such as

-The Earning summery, ( http://au.finance.yahoo.com/q/ais?s=RIO.AX)

-A few of the latest headlines links (http://au.finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=RIO.AX)

- Company profile Summery such as http://au.finance.yahoo.com/q/apr?s=RIO.AX

If it has all that, I think it will be as good as the Iphone's Bloomberg app and I can use this app to counter my colleagues' claim that iphone is a better phone.

I don't know whether it can be done or not so its just a suggestion.

Will donate more when i have some spare cash and as the application progresses.. You have done a very good job, so keep up the good work buddy!. cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
I have looked into using localized sites (de., hk., uk., etc) already, but I found that only the US site will give me the data feed. The rest of them (I tried 16 of them) don't appear to have the same feed. Sorry. ;)

Hmmm, at one time it was normal size, but I must have messed it up somewhere along the way. Thanks for pointing that out!

Does the same thing happen with other apps? I don't really have an idea of what could be going on there. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ManuTouch:
This is exactly what I have been waiting for...finally a little app that does all I want it to do! Great job man!

How much better do you think can you get this to look on a QVGA screen? The only problem there really is the graph section, everything else looks fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zorroz:
GREAT SW, thaks a lot!

Iìm from Italy, and I'm interested on Milan Stock Exchange too...

MY QUESTIONS:

- is it possible to see the updated time as local time? At the moment there is the time in USA [EDIT: I read you are wotking on, thank you]

- why for some indices the daily chart is not available? for example ^MIBTEL or ^SPMIB => these are available in italian yahoo finance

FOR THE REST: REALLY A GREAT IDEA and development!!!!!!!!!!!!

CIAO
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Probably not much better using the current layout, but I'm playing with an alternate layout that might give some more room, and hopefully improve the display on "inferior" resoltions. ;)

I think I have found a workaround for that. It should be in the next update, assuming it works all the time.

Ciao!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
I like it a little smaller...more room for the quotes :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gbock:
This is a great app but Im using the treo 800 and on my screen all I can see is the first two stocks of a list. The rest of the screen is filled up with the chart window. Is there a way to turn off the chart? Or at least be able to scroll through the stocks? The way it is now, only the top two stocks of a list are visible no matter what I do.

Please help! This is exactly what I was looking for (if I could only see more than 2 stocks at a time!!!)

Thanks,

Greg
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Treo 800 is a square screen, right? I don't have any plans for that sort of thing.

It's hard enough to get an app meant for VGA to look OK on QVGA ... but 1/2 that size? Don't think so. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hipduf:
Charts Only, No Quotes?

OK, what am I missing? I've installed 0.5.1 on my Fuze, and while the charts download nicely for any of the default entries or the ones I add (I'm in Canada, so it's a mix of Cdn and US stocks), I don't get any of the ticker/value info in the "name bars" themselves. In other words, all I see is, for example, ^DJI on the left, a 0 in the middle, and nothing else.

I'm sure it's something I am stupidly overlooking, but can't figure it out for the life of me. Any ideas?

Updated: Never mind, now it clicked in after 2 reinstalls. Not sure why, but nice app!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] :
wish list

Hi

Thanks for the great product. I can see a huge potential for this.

Here is something I like to comments:

Bug:

1)	the schedule download feature doesn’t seem to work for me (if I select 5 second for download rate)

feature:

1)	Please create a menu at the bottom of the application with the for example these options ( News, Chart, Tool)

2)	Please hide the chart. Only show the chart when the chart button is pressed

3)	please allow more than 6 stocks in one list. ( can you make it work more like apple’s stock app. )

4)	Kinetic scroll is good if there is more than 6 stocks in one list.

5)	Yahoo has the real time stock quote, is that possible to implement? Because a 20 minutes lag isn’t that useful for a real time stock trader who needs the quote at real time.

Improvement:

1)	number one request: please hide the message when the software is downloading data or generating map. Because psychologically, it makes the software seem very slow. I would just hide it.

2)	Truburt’s icontact UI is very speedy, no lag. If tikertape can run as fast as that, it would be perfect. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402724

3)	speed issue when: download, generate chart. Is there any way to improve the speed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zend:
Thanks for this app...it's really polished and works great.

I'm wondering if you've considered adding a "News" feature. Yahoo has company news feeds available via RSS, described here:

http://developer.yahoo.com/finance/company.html

I imagine it would be fairly straightforward to transform these feeds into html for display in a WebBrowser (or equivalent) control. Clicking on links could use System.Process.Start to just launch the browser...

Really appreciate your time and effort on this!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nkawtg:
Great App, just wish it could be in a tab like on the HD.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vadim_bogaiskov:
There is the Russian edition of this cool app: TickerTape-0.5.1_ru.cab

Slavs, welcome! :D

Second CAB TickerTape-0.5.1_ru_HTC_Diamond.cab add line on Internet tab. Note, in non-english version of TouchFLO3D we should modify \Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-xx-XX.xml instead of \windows\27c65cbd_manila

fryman, look how I modified the file and files location. I think this is elegant solution...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
Can I get a get a screen shot please. The cab will not work on my inferior US edition phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fryman:
I found my typo and attached are the working 27c65cbd_manila files...Thanks for the help vadim_bogaiskov! These files are for TP's on sprint. Check out vadim_bogaiskov's post #237 for a cab for phones that have a "\Application Data\Manila" folder.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vadim_bogaiskov:
1. I have renamed AppToDate.xml and AppToDate.ico to TickerTape.xml and TickerTape.ico also have moved them to \Application Date\AppToDate folder.

2. Then I replaced shortcut TickerTape.lnk to \windows\Main menu\Program folder.

3. It has allowed to create in InternetPortal-ru-RU.xml the following lines:

<Link
Text="Лента биржевых новостей"
Executable="\Windows\Главное меню\Программы\TickerTape.lnk"
ImagePath="\Application Data\AppToDate\TickerTape.ico" />

Now we can install Ticker Tape in any place (Device or Internal Storage).

Sorry for my bad English.:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Hmmm, I thought the Chinese would be the first to decompile and hack it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vadim_bogaiskov:
China and Russia is neighbours...;)

I have changed resources only. But if you want, I can destroy the Russian edition.

I do not understand, if TickerTape is freeware, why did you not use .NET culture in your app? It would allow to localise your app for other people easier and not to look at program code.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
I'm going to do that soon, so everyone can make their localized version.

I just didn't take the time to use string resources in the beginning, because it was only a proof of concept ... it grew too fast. ;)

So I'll make sure the next version uses resource files...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
The original installer creates registry entries for AppToDate, because I didn't want to create folders/clutter for those who don't use it. Moving these files would break the integration ... but I guess the cab you created doesn't make the reg entries. Do these really need to be renamed & moved in order to create your link?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vadim_bogaiskov:
I think that we need to rename AND move icon and xml files, because we needs to fix location of icon file if we want to insert modified 27c65cbd_manila/InternetPortal-ru-RU.xml file to CAB.

It is a usual way of storage icon&xml files for use of possibilities MoDaCo (see Attached Thumbnails).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vadim_bogaiskov:
It is very good news. Your program really is the best of similar to it, and should be extended worldwide!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
OK, gotcha ... so you can install to either device or storage while still using the same manila file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vadim_bogaiskov:
Yeeees, of course! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] LeoSK:
Today screen plugin

Great program, thank you very much GeckoDev.

My suggestions:

1) Today screen plugin would be very helpful, just a narrow 10-20px area for 2-4 most important tickers I need to watch.

(maybe possibility of integration with Spb programs...)

2) Font size decrease/increase option. I would prefer smaller fonts, 6 lines in 1 list is not enough (for me).

3) Graphs are nice but take too much space in "List" area

4) Graphs are unable to change their scale (maximum/minimum value) quickly. Spot price is not visible then (above maximum/below minimum).

Otherwise no complaints :)

I am ready to pay 20-30 USD, if you manage to add today screen plugin.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
@everyone posting suggestions -- I'm not ignoring you, I just haven't had time to post individual replies.

Your comments have been noted. :D

I appreciate all the feedback, keep it coming.

But PLEASE read the 2nd post ... there are a lot of requests that are already on the "planned" list.

Download data during Market times

Is it possible to add options to display regular and extended mkt data (switch to extended after regular mkt hours?

Also, the other nice feature would be not to download data when there is no trading.

I love this app:D
