After some consideration (and consultation

Hi Transportable,
Can you please tell me what the error was or be more specific about what happened.

John

Hi John,
Very nice, easy to use program. Thanks for the opportunity to use.
As it is in Beta, I assume feedback of bugs are wanted.
On the Tools - Options Window, when changing the "High Alert Colour", it changes that requested colour in the "Low Alert Colour". But saving and reopening the Option window shows the wanted colour scheme.
Its a small glitch, I know, but thought you might want to know.

thanks for reply John
I am now using a different computer and can't even download your application I'm sure it is because I don't know what I am doing. No one else seems to be having trouble.
I click on download on your blog and nothing happens.
Hope you can help
Thanks T

Not your fault at all Transportable.
I am not only new to stocks and shares but I am also new to writing web pages. This is my first attempt.
The page is hosted on a Linux OS which is case sensitive. I spelled the download file StockWatch instead of Stockwatch.
Give it another try and let me know how it goes.

Hi John,
Great little application you have compiled there! Tried it in my office today and ticks along just nicely - many thanks for sharing!!!
One thing I noticed however is the value for "PriceMove" seemed to stay at 0.000 regardless of the share price movements.... possibly since it's running through my companys office intranet maybe something stuffing it up???
Great work though - a lot more useful than my msn money macro running in excel!!!
Cheers,
Scotty....

Are you referring to the PriceMove displayed in the message bubble. If so this is a bug that is fixed in the next release.
Thanks for the comments. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

There is a new version of Stockwatch at jskinner.110mb.com.
There are a number of other files used by the program now. Make sure they are all included
As an example, if you extracted the contents to your Program Files directory you should see the following directories and files.
I hope you find it useful.
Program Files
Stockwatch.exe
Stockwatch.exe.config
Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
Connectors (this is a directory)
etrade.con
connectors.txt
Files (this is a directory)
Versions.txt
TODO.txt

Just updated the web site with Beta version 0.3. To fix a few bugs that I introduced yesterday.
SB, To answer your question, it is not only possible in theory but in practice as well.
Stockwatch gets the list of brokers that it can use from the names of each connector file. E.g. A connector file called ETrade.con will add a broker called ETrade to the list of available ones to select from.
I did it this way so that users could add their own brokers and not need a recompiled program from the programmer.
However, you will need an understanding of regular expressions.

Please not that the using connectore files is really a test. It may not be usefull for all sites. Especially sites that display their data in table format.

Stockwatch version 1.0.0
Stockwatch version 1.0.0 has been uploaded to jskinner.110mb.com
The main feature is the ability to enter triggers as a percentage value of a base price as well as a dollar value.
I have written this program as a training tool to help me learn about the stock market but feel free to download and use the program free of charge.
If you have any bug reports, questions, comments or suggestions, you can post them here or send them to the email address in the help/about screen of the application.
I hope you find this of some use.
Regards
John
