Anyone know of a Stock market app for the Verizon version?
 

The included app for the Verizon HTC Touch Pro2 is delayed 15 minutes which in stock market time will kill you.

I've been looking for a real time app where you can create a list of stocks that can be updated as needed. I'm not interested in the Ameritrade version of istocktrader as you'd have to have your investment account with Ameritrade.

Try this one... not sure if it will work. I haven't tried it on this phone cuz I have the Sprint tab.

TickerTape 0.5 is a pocket PC Freeware that displays Stock Quotes & Charts on your Windows Mobile Phone. With the given market situation many of us want to always keep a watchful eye on the stock market and thats where TickerTape come in to the picture.Features

• Download quotes and charts for the symbols on your lists
• Show charts for period ranging from 1 day to 5 years
• Show charts in line, bar, or candlestick format
• Show chart fullscreen
• Completely touch-friendly
• Scroll through lists and tickers using touch screen buttons, gestures, or D-pad
• Set the download (refresh) rate from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, or Never

• Integration with AppToDate for automatic updates

Note: "Compare To" will be expanded later so you can get charts comparing any tickers.


FAQ

• Can you add the ^XYZ index and the XYZ stock to TickerTape?
  NO. The data is downloaded from Yahoo, because it is the only free service I know of. If Yahoo doesn't have it, then I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it for this app.
  The data is not scraped off a web page, so sites that display the data you want (even Yahoo's own real-time quote pages) are not useful to Ticker Tape.
  Yahoo (and therefore Ticker Tape) has information for a lot of the world markets, but there are some markets it does not provide. Again, I'm sorry, but that's just how it is.
• How do I get quotes for Company X?
  Find the ticker symbol here, and add it to Ticker Tape.
• I added a ticker, but there's no data. Why?
  You probably need an exhange extension at the end of the ticker. Find the correct ticker symbol here.
• Where can I get a list of indices?
  Here for US indices, or here for major world indices.
• Where can I get a list of currency exchange symbols?
  Here
• How do I get the price of Gold, Crude, Lean Hogs, and other commodities futures?
  Use the symbols found here
• What stock exchanges are available in Ticker Tape?
  A list of them is here.
• How long are the quotes delayed?
  This depends on the exchange. The delays are listed here. Most indices are real-time.
• How much data is downloaded?
  Quotes: ~80 bytes per ticker (~480 bytes for a full list)
  Charts: ~2.5KB each
• Can Ticker Tape do [insert feature here]?
  Yes, of course it can. The next version will do your laundry too.
• I installed it on my non-VGA device, and it looks funny.
  Ticker Tape was initially designed for VGA. This *is*, after all, a forum for Diamonds. The latest version has been tweaked to support QVGA, but there might be some areas that still need work. It does not and will not have support for square-screen devices.

Future Features

• Custom symbols for "Compare To" charts
• Implement settings for download rate in off-market hours
• Search feature to find ticker symbols
• Adjust times based on regional settings
• D-pad navigation in menu and other places.

• Advanced ticker properties, such as notes, held positions, and alarms
• Ability run in a TF3D tab - THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE POSSIBLE AT THIS POINT - See this post
• More adjustments for non-VGA resolutions
• Import/export lists

Ahhh... I beat you santod...
Great presentation on your part though.
p.

Re: Anyone know of a Stock market app for the Verizon version?
 

I saw that you beat me. I was too busy filling up that post. I even thought to myself, while I'm doing all this, someone else will simply paste the link or the file. LOL. Way to be much more efficient then me.:mrgreen:

Re: Anyone know of a Stock market app for the Verizon version?
 

You know that looks really good except for the part that the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are all delayed 15 minutes.

In stock trading, a 15 minute delay is a big problem. I need real time quotes for a list of securities that'll update programatically.

Re: Anyone know of a Stock market app for the Verizon version?
 

I don't think what you want exists. Ticker Tape is the best app I've seen. For real-time quotes, I just use the mobile Web site for my brokerage. Makes sense since that's where you have to go anyway to make a trade.

Re: Anyone know of a Stock market app for the Verizon version?
 

If my broker, Scottrade, had an application that would allow the same functionality as the CNBC app for iphone, I'd use it.

I've already bought both the iphone and the pro2. Iphone doesn't get phone reception in my area. It was only through the wi fi that I was able to access the app and install it. It's very slick but I sure don't want an iphone that doesn't receive phone calls.

Back to the CNBC app for the iphone, in the help area is ask which system you're on, iphone, Blackberry or Verizon. It appears that there may be a variant that'll work on the Verizon system. I'm going to followup with both CNBC and Verizon to figure this out.

I sure do like the iphone but darn, what they say about spotty reception isn't just a thing of the past.

"more bars in more places"
lol.

Re: Anyone know of a Stock market app for the Verizon version?
 

CNBC has an app for windows mobile have you tried that. the quotes are real time.
