Hi Katherine,
Getting the information from QuoteTracker is not hard - it just requires a
httpp query to the server such as
http://127.0.0.1:16239/req?getLastQuote(CMGI,DELL)
This requires that you have CMGI and DELL in your watchlist or portfolios
recorded in quotetracker.
You can see all of the options available at
http://www.quotetracker.com/qtserver.htm
Using the information is the challenging part. I use PHP but I understand
you can put the http queries into an excel spreadsheet ( although I haven't
tried it) and the n use formulae or macros to manipulate the data.
I'd be happy to provide more detailed information if you were interested in
the technicalities.
Aloha,

Hi Mike,
>>This allows me to run scripts that access the streaming quote
information and create price and volume alerts.<<
Is this something that can be easily done with the software (for those of
us that're Web-tech-challenged) or do you need to be a scripting/webpage
design guru like yourself?
Katherine

I use RJT (www.rjt.com). $5 for all trades for active traders including
real
time streaming quotes. Absolutely no frills web site but I front-end it
with
Medved Quotetracker (www.quotetracker.com) which is free and interfaces
with
RJT's streaming quotes and order entry system.
Best thing about Quotetracker from my perspective is that it includes a
webserver. This allows me to run scripts that access the streaming quote
information and create price and volume alerts.
