Thanks for the hint, I'll try that out.

;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] th1nm1nt:
I think this program is perfect (in case you haven't caught on to the compliments yet). My only request...have a cooler icon? I see the Windows Defrag icon when I added it to the programs tab. Don't think it does this great app any justice.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ykyong:
GeckoDev,

Love this apps. It's better than iphone's.

Hope you can include other exchanges so that the followings can work.

DAX (Symbol: ^GDAXI)

CAC (Symbol: ^FCHI)

Gold Nov 08 (Symbol: GCX08.CMX)

Crude Oil Dec 08 (Symbol: CLZ08.NYM)

The symbols are taken from Yahoo Finance and working on EquityXpert. However, I prefer this than the EquityXpert. Really hope you can help soon.

Thanks again for your wonderful inventions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chakde:
Any one knows what symbol to use to track the price for barrel of oil (WTI).

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
@citats - What symbol are you trying to use?

@cellneuron - It is actually downloading the chart image, not data. So even if you're going from a longer time to shorter time, it still needs to download the image (especially in the case of 1d/5d charts, since these would be changing all the time).

@th1nm1nt - Thanks for all the support! Yes, I'm definitely updating the icon in the next build. I just grabbed the first one I came across. :)

@ykyong - The indexes you listed should work ... I just tried them. The gold and crude tickers exposed a "undocumented feature", so thanks for pointing it out! ;)

@EVERYONE - If a symbol doesn't work in TickerTape, but it does on Yahoo Finance, please let me know! As ykyong helped me discover, some symbols return some weird things in their data that I'll need to account for.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention one more thing ... I got AppToDate working!! After installing the next cab from here, those of you using AppToDate will get automatic updates. Cool stuff, so thanks to rafadiasbsb for suggesting it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rafadiasbsb:
Good news!!!

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cellneuron:
Got you. I still think there should be some kind of offline browsing, esp for long time view, like 1y or 5y. The current scenario is nothing will be displayed if no network is available.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hkwin99:
Just like to say "Thank you" for your great job!! :):)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JEPEDEWE:
I created a new list.

Added "Fortis" to look for (belgian stuff) (so, only 1 item in the list)

Probably the application didn't find anything.

When I go to this list I am thrown out of the program.

maybe a bug....

When I look for "Fortis" in Yahoo I see it is known as FORB.BR

When I add it to my list, the progarm doesn't download anything...

How come?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] EazyVG:
Ok, for example I want to add Integra Group, listed on LSE as GDR with ticker INTE, also known as INTE.L, LSE:INTE or INTEq.L .... so how I add this?

Please as I need it to be listed in the app.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Good idea, I added it to the planned features list.

Yes, it was a bug, and has been fixed in the 0.3 update.

That was another bug caused by data that came back in non-US currencies, which has also been fixed in 0.3. FORB.BR should work now.

The closest thing I found was INTE.IL, listed as "INTEGR SP GDR REG-S" ... is that it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
New Update!

Before we get to have fun with the markets Monday, another update has been released! See the first post to download 0.3, and see the 2nd post for a list of features/fixes in this version.

Have fun!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cellneuron:
Nice， although the upgrade removed all my tickers.

The direction keys support is really convenient. Can you also make it available to the popup menu window and ticker adding window?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Oops, I forgot to mention that your lists would be overwritten (and how to avoid it) in the notes.

Good idea for D-pad in other places, I'll add it to the list. Thanks! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] harry18:
Can you add the new layout on this software???? such as full page to see the stock list and click on the stock then can see the whole page of the chart pic!!!! because it is so hard to see the chart on the QVGA screen!!!!!!

and thanks for your nice app!!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ykyong:
GeckoDev,

Thanks for yr 0.3 cab. The DAX, CAC, crude oil and gold tickers worked great.

This apps is almost perfect now....just a few more small problems...

(1) Currencies tickers: I tried USDEUR=X, USDSGD=X without success. Please check.

(2) Displaying 3 decimal places for the tickers? Percentage changes can leave it as 2 decimal places. For some of the exchanges, the change is only 0.005 range.

Again, looking forward to your usual quick reply.

Great apps so far.

Rgds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dragonehk:
It is really a great application! Like to say "Thank You".
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tazkika:
Hi GeckoDev,

This is a wonderful app, especially for us financial 'experts' (any replies to this will be off-topic!), however certain tickers don't produce data in the list (like eurusd=X, or ^XU100), yet when you select them the chart appears...

Apart from this glitch, I can only agree with all other posters here: great app!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] EazyVG:
Yes, thanks very much .... how you managed to find it, as strangely I was not able to find it, seems like yahoo finance has little of its' own ticker indexing going on.

BTW, when I press Compare To and Settings, nothing happens, no window popups for respective options when selected. Also how do I add it as TF3D Tab, as you have mentioned on your second post .... or are you still working on them? I have installed clean your latest 0.3 version.

?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] solidpowder:
Hello guys,

Thanks for this great and good looking app, exactly what i was waiting for.

For all wondering how to add a stock informations.

Go to : http://finance.yahoo.com/

Choose your indice (for example Dow-Jones), then open the page of this stock indices and you'll have the shorcut information (just after the name of the value you choose) to find this value using the Ticker Tape app. (for the dow-jones indice, it is : ^DJI).

Working for many international stock exchanges.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HerrVorragend:
Hello,

at first: Great Job... Yahoo Finance isn't the best Dataprovider, but it quite works.

Is it correct that nothing happens when clicking on settings?

Can you add an alarm function, so that the program can run in background and notify the user when quotes changes?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] poiuyt125:
First of all. A great app, but ...

I've got a little problem. For some stocks (for all stocks @ .as) the charts 1d and 5d is not available. The other charts are ok. Example: agn.as; ah.as; inga.as
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 69alfa:
fantastic job. i tried with spanish index ^IBEX and work perfectly but

a stock like TELEFONICA IN YAHOO ^TEF.MC dont work.

Menu doesent work

Hi,

I´ve installed the last version of TickerTape, but when i press the "MENU" or the "+" symbol to add a stock, nothing happens! why? can help me please?

Regards

Rui Silva
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Hi everyone, thanks for the kind words!

I would like to reiterate the post from solidpower (sorry mods):

Exactly. It's as simple as this: The data comes from Yahoo. If Yahoo doesn't give me data for the symbol you enter, I can't fix it. Go to Yahoo and look up the symbol you want ... the symbol might be different from what you expect. If you can't find your stock or index on Yahoo, chances are that TickerTape won't find it either.

So for everyone asking about this & that symbol, try to look it up here.

I'm loving the great ideas that have come from everyone. Keep it up! Happy trading today!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Can you give me an example? I'm curious to see if I get 3 decimal places in the data.

I found out that the data for eurusd=x did not return the previous close, which caused TickerTape to skip displaying it (since it does the calculations first). So I have changed some things around so that it will display as much information as possible and only skip what it can't show. So in this case, I'm seeing the last price, but there's no change info. You'll see this in the next update (0.4).

That's still a future feature. ;)

The Settings and Compare To charts are not yet implemented (see 2nd post).

I agree Yahoo isn't the best, it's free, so it works well for software that is donation-ware. Paid data feeds are quite expensive. The alarms are a good idea, I'll put some thought into that and give all sorts of options for it.

There's not much I can do about that, sorry. As previously mentioned, the data and charts come from Yahoo (free). When a chart says "Chart Not Available", that's actually the chart image that Yahoo sends back.

Enter the symbol as TEF.MC (without the ^) which worked for me. The caret (^) is only used for indexes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
That's weird ... I don't think anyone else has had a problem. Is this on a Diamond? Is there anything "special" about your device?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] faethon:
This is an excellent app!! Great work GeckoDev! It's running nicely on my Diamond. I've put my portfolio on and some indexes. Great to have the ability to quickly check curent rates.

I've noticed that the time displayed under each ticker is given in US time. I'm in the Netherlands (mainly tracking Dutch stocks) so the time looks odd (it's 6 hrs off). I've looked at the Yahoo Finance page, and it gives the same time. Is it possible to somehow force a certain LOCALE, or time offset in the next update?

Thanks again for your great effort!

/edit

Actually I have been fiddling about with the Yahoo!Finance URL and to 'force' a local time it is possible to prepend the URL with a certain country code. For instance for me it works to put 'de.' in front of the 'finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^AEX' url to get the AEX index in my local time, e.g. 'http://de.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^AEX' gives me the AEX index in (my) local time.

These are the country codes available from Yahoo!Finance:

Argentina: ar.

Australia & NZ: au.

Brazil: br.

Canada: ca.

China: cn.

France: fr.

Germany: de.

Hong Kong: hk.

India: in.

Italy: it.

Korea: kr.

Mexico: mx.

Singapore: sg.

Spain: es.

Taiwan: tw.

UK & Ireland: uk.

Maybe you can add the option for users to select a certain region, effectively changing the URL you use to lookup the stock quotes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] faethon:
Suggestions

Another list of suggestions (See previous post):

allow new lists to be inserted in the current lists. In the current version a new list will be added as the last list, however, it might be more convenient to be able to insert a list between existing lists. Or, to later be able to rearrange the order of lists.

Allow a single ticker to be edited (now you can only

delete

a selected ticker, not

change

it)

Of course only if you have the time. These are NOT REQUESTS, but just suggestions for your leisure to implement or not!! Great work and have fun!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mykodawg:
Hi All,

I downloaded the APP and it works great... except for one thing. The quotes from DJI and Nasdaq are real time... but any stock quotes I enter (i.e. GM, GE, AAPL) are delayed 15min. Any ideas why?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] faethon:
This is because Yahoo gives the indexes real time, but stocks with a certain delay. You can see the delay times here: http://finance.yahoo.com/exchanges
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
@faethon --

Nice detective work on getting local times! I'll certainly add something along those lines, either as a setting, or by reading the device's regional settings. The "insert list" idea is good too.

I already have plans for editing tickers, but it will be a little more advanced, such as allowing you to add notes, and possibly record your current positions so you can view your own gain/loss, etc. Also the ability to set alarms on symbols, etc.

Thanks for the kudos!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ykyong:
GeckoDev,

Most of the stocks in our exchange here are low values that have 3 decimal places prices and changes. When displaying in yr app with 2 decimal places, the actual changes are not shown. Just to give you a few of those stocks, you may check the following symbols.

B20.SI

A0G.SI

EB5.SI

5DN.SI

F83.SI

As you can see, the actual prices and changes are being "round-up" to 2 decimal places in your app. Really hope your app can display 3 decimal places so that it reflects the real changes and prices.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mykodawg:
hmm... interesting. Any idea if it's possible to grab the quotes from Google Finance instead of Yahoo? Google Finance I believe uses real-time for all the USD quotes. thx.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] LamPET:
%

Hi GeckoDev,

The calculation of the % is not how it should be.

ex

The index is 2173.06

the change is + 72.88

the result you give is + 3.35%

It should be + 3.47%

the result must be calculeted on + 72.88 / (2173.06 - 72.88) or the old index.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] th1nm1nt:
GeckoDev...told you I couldn't wait until Monday...You've made it even better than I thought. I woke up, bought into a new stock just to watch with this app...and am loving the 1 day view for this new addition to my E*Trade account. Up 31.34% so far today from my cost basis. Not only would I have this view as I'm out driving around, but I bought this stock just because of this app.

Guess I do owe you some of my earnings!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Nice gain, congrats! I noticed you said "some", and not "half" ... :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Google has real-time for NASDAQ, but all the others are still delayed: http://www.google.com/help/stock_disclaimer.html. I looked into it anyway, and they don't have an anonymous feed. You can get data for a portfolio you've set up on Google, but the user has to be authenticated. It could be an interesting idea for another app though, if someone wants to write it.

Heh ... ahem. :o OOPS! Sloppy fingers. Or maybe it was that 5th martini. :) I'll fix it, thanks for noticing it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
I confirmed that for the examples you provided, the data DOES come back with 3 decimal places, so it will be no problem to display it. Next update.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tazkika:
For a market data provider to deliver real-time quotes, the receiver must sign a contract (which of course implies paying for the service...).

Yahoo DOES deliver real-time quotes, but ONLY for US securities and ONLY when you've paid for them: 10 USD/month. I know, as I pay for it...

It would be nice to get these real-time quotes into Ticker Tape :)

CU,

Anthony
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cellneuron:
the $10 is only for personal use only. You are not allowed to share with others.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tazkika:
indeed it is for personal use, and even more: non-professional... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
If you could let me know how you access the real-time data, I might be able to add it as an option in Ticker Tape ... the idea being that the app would use your subscription (configured in settings) to get the data for your personal use.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] th1nm1nt:
LOL...pleased with this app, but don't love you. Jumping into HIG got me a hell of a return today (and still holding). Up 57.75% today alone!!!

With the tens of thousands I've lost since September...you'd have to be married to me to get half bro :D

Don't worry...I'm not cheap on my donations. Give me a bit to stop being lazy. You'll get what you deserve. This app is simply amazing.

Can we compile a list of indexes from around the world? My portfolio is 98% domestic. Think its time to start jumping into some International holdings.

Thanks again for everything!

Some suggestion :)

Hi

I really love this app, i've been looking for an app like this for as long as i could remember hehehe... i would happyly paid for this...

if i may i would like to give the following suggestions...

1. i'm using omnia with 400x240 screen, and there is this big wasted space between the end of 6 tickers list and the blue chart background, could we do something about this here? like for instance, ability to add more tickers to a list or resize the chart?

2. the chart is too small too read, could we do some sort of zooming, the series number are hard to read off the chart.

3. if we could somehow search the ticker symbol directly with the app, w/o manually using another pc to access yahoo.com.

Thanks dude
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tazkika:
Simply by logging in to 'my.yahoo.com' or 'finance.yahoo.com, as the real-time quotes is an additional service to your (paid) registration...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
@cellneuron & abc001 -- the screenshot looks OK to me. The bottom of the keyboard is at the bottom of the screen, and the last row of buttons is visible. Am I not understanding what you're seeing?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kslwong:
seems the time is not correct ... maybe timezone issue....

:confused::confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cellneuron:
There are two softkeys and one icon for input changer below the keyboard. The keyboard does popup ok in this program, but it will also popup in the same manner (without the below buttons) in other programs (after running tickertape). With this bug, there is no way to change input method.

Since other people didn't report this problem, I am not sure if it is related to tickertape since I can't repeat it either (after rebooting.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
OK, that makes sense. So Windows retains the SIP placement in TickerTape, and it carries over to other apps. That should be an easy fix, I'll have a look and probably post another AppToDate update sometime tonight.

I'm sure it probably is related to TickerTape, because I'm doing some magic with the keyboard there. I borrowed the code from another app I wrote, but in this case there's no need for the magic, so I'll just let the SIP behave how it wants to.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Yes, that was mentioned previously. The time is currently EST. In a future update the time will be based on your regional settings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] th1nm1nt:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dmwagner:
I really like this app. It is by far the best one of it's kind that I have come across in my searching.

I am using it on my PPC6800. It looks pretty good on it, but it certainly looks better on your screen shots of the diamond in regards of the charts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] th1nm1nt:
found it....needed the .pk after it since it is now a pink sheet.

Thanks for an amazing app!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] haggis663:
The app is really good, but it seems to appear to get data every time I switch lists. If it is pulling data on each list switch, I would prefer that it pulled through all the data for all the lists based upon the polling period and not every time I switch the view.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
I thought of that at one point, but forgot about it until you brought it up. The reason it only gets data for the current list is to limit the amount of data (in case you pay for it), and you could have lots of lists to download. But I should make it an option to do that if you want to. Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cellneuron:
I can repeat the keyboard problem each time now. Can you post the cab here once it is ready? I have some trouble with the appupdate (frankly, I don't like it at all, which is sluggish and doesn't support proxy at all.)

This error becomes a little bit annoying now since I have to reset my device to bring the softkeys back almost every time I run tickertape.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cellneuron:
I think you should care more about speed than data amount since there are VERY FEW people now days who has to pay by bytes. Most people either has no data plan at all, or has unlimited data plan. In USA, I don't really know which carrier is still selling a plan with data limit.

A great program is becoming greater.

One question. What do I have to do to keep my settings (Listing and Tickers) when I update your program?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hebbe:
this by far the best stock-app for winmobile!!! i really do love your program, and i'm looking forward for all the amazing versions still to come :)

questions/suggestions:

- the currency is usd. is there or will there be a possibility to switch to euro?

- from which stock exchange does the data come? i guess its nyse. what about offering the possibility to include other stock-exchanges, like frankfurt (germany) stock exchange for example?

please keep on developing this fantastic application! it really one of my favorites! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ykyong:
(1) I think the currency is exchange dependent at the moment.

(2) This apps already supporting other exchanges' stock. Juz go to finance.yahoo.com and check the right stock code.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hebbe:
ah, okay, thanks for the hints. i'll check that. if its exchange dependent, and i'm able to change the exchange just by entering a different stock code, all two problems will be solved :) :) thanks a lot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
Check the first post for the solution ... I'll play with the installer later and try to avoid this.

That's correct, the data comes back in the currency of the exchange.
