Hopefully Useful - ASX Monitor

[joslad]

Well done Nick.

Slightly different query. Is it possible to access the "course of sales" data, for downloading.

Does anyone know where this information can be downloaded from the web ??

cheers

stocknessmonster.com.au

that should help you out.

You'll have it as soon as it's done : Still having problems with that DataGrid...

Hey happy to wait Boss.

 

[joslad]

The problem with stocknessmonster, is that it groups the trades. I want to download a complete record, containing each individual trade.

I can get this info from tradingroom.com.au, but the trades are displayed on a webpage ie 100 trades per page. I can copy and paste into excel, but it is a timeconsuming process when there are dozens of pages. It's too slow.

What I would like is to be able to download a complete listing, in txt or excel format etc, for use in excel for analysis.

My thinking was that if nick can access the etrade data (no idea how he does this), then maybe he can also get at the course of sale data, that etrade provide through web-iress.

cheers

Because you've all been behaving, I thought I would release an alpha of the next version. For those who are unfamiliar with development stages, an alpha is neither feature complete nor bug free.

By this I mean that the version I'm releasing now does not contain all the promised features, and is highly likely to contain bugs. If you find a bug, please let me know. Do not assume that I have found the bug you've experienced.

Alpha Feature List:

• Monitor Unlimited Stocks AVAILABLE
• Set a High and Low alert price for each stock and get shown large graphical alerts when these values are hit/passed. AVAILABLE
• Audio notifications NOT AVAILABLE
• Monitoring of the ASX Price Sensitive Announcements News Feed so that you receive instant notification when the announcements are made NOT AVAILABLE
• Detect end of Trading and display closing prices NOT AVAILABLE
• Saving your preferences NOT AVAILABLE
• Bandwidth Optimisation NOT AVAILABLE

Go on then, the download is attached.

Nice piece of work. Are you using C# or VB.net? Any back end database like MySQL or Access?

What does the .NET Framework do Nick? if i install it at work is there any chance it can screw things up? i know that's a really general question without you knowing my network setup at work but can it cause problems?

C#, and no, there is no back end database.

I doubt it could cause any problems.
That said, the .NET Framework 2.0 is a Microsoft product, so if you do have any problems they should offer support.

What does it do?
It contains all of the classes and libraries which ASX Monitor depends on.

Known problems with the alpha release:

• Crashes when you try to change a value after an alert

 

[two40]

latest alpha - when you hide the systray icon it does not display any notifications. i like to hide my icons at work. can't wait for a boss key

this has become very useful to me. i can't thank you enough nick. i do however worry that it might become too bloated. it has a purpose and it serves it well so far. there are features that it can benifit from but i also think that it can get out of hand. anyways, thanks again and can't wait for the next release.

Just an update here.

Im trialing Market Tools Prospectus which runs from realtime data sources,Bourse Data and the one I use Marketcast.

So far Im impressed and after using the 30 day trial have paid for it 3 times already.
It DOES have high and low alert capabilities for multiple stocks and live charting for tick and any other timeframe you wish to choose.
Also a portfolio (limited) application.
Has about 100 indicators/ocsillators for those who love to buggerise around,3 types of live charting including point and figure and Candlesticks.
A swing trading feature and Kagi and Renko for the Price action freaks.

Here is a chart with some commentry Im trading today just to show some of the capability off.
If vyour trading short term seriously this sort of software is a must!!

 

[maverick11]

bummer...doesn't seem to work on my employers network. I mean it wont download the prices. Any chance to get this to use the I.E. settings/proxy?

 

[tech/a]

Its coupled to Marketcast OR Bourse data.
I have marketcast so intefaces immediately.
There is a test type setting though.

[peachey2000]

Dude, I have to say... this thing rocks!

Thanks heaps

 

[two40]

dead set this is more useful to me than anything atm. it's great for work. i actually panicked today when it wouldn't feed prices. ended up being my conenction at work.

can't wait till it has the ability to pick up on announcements

 

[SevenFX]

can't wait till it has the ability to pick up on announcements

It may not have that ability, as haven't seen Nick round thread for a while, and may have lost interest....

Hope not, as many seem happy with it's potential...
