Streaming Realtime Quotes

Stockwatch has two Java applets you can use for streaming realtime quotes. Both programs provide complete views of your live stock quotes, market depth, and full charting capabilities.

The Live Ticker is the simpler program, which you can use if your computer is old or if you do not have a need for complicated layouts. We recommend this for first time users.

The Daytrader Workstation is a more complex program with more capabilities for managing and saving layouts. It requires you to install Sun's latest Java.

Stockwatch Desktop

Stockwatch Desktop is our new standalone application program. All the functionality of the Ticker and Daytrader Workstation is available, and it is very similar to the Ticker and Daytrader Workstation in operation. You can download and install this program on your PC - note that only Windows XP or higher is supported at this time. This is NOT a Java program so you will notice that it does not have the resource limitations of a Java applet.

Daytrader WorkstationHelp

This is a customizable stock ticker, scanner, charting tool. It is similar to Stockwatch's Live Ticker, but the views are organized onto a series of tabbed pages. The size, positions and settings of all your views can be saved for your next session. View colors are completely customizable. A Live Broker Activity view has been added for Canadian stocks along with Portfolio Value and Portfolio Transaction views.

The Daytrader Workstation requires Sun's newest Java software. The applet will run in Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator with Sun's Java plugin, JRE 1.4. If you have not installed the plugin, you will be prompted to install it the first time you run the software. If you are using Netscape 6.0 and have installed Java you will already have this plugin. The applet will not work with older versions of Java.

Sun's Java does not work well with Windows 98 or earlier systems. Use the Live Ticker instead.
