However, I am going to either get QP2 or DGO or possibly even both. DGO would be easiest because it's pretty simple and I used the beta for months. =46or intraday stuff I use this: http://www.tscn.com/wsc/Corporate_Snapshot.html?Symbol=3DNASD&Button=3DGe= t+Graph&U I believe it's delayed at least 20 minutes, but it's not too bad. What do you think? I would never succumb to the idea that it's alright to place orders to execute at market open. I got burned badly a time or two doing that, and Tom Worley and Connie Mack Rae (two very experienced investors) say they have a cardinal rule they will almost never violate to eschew placing orders before 10:00 Eastern. I now try my utmost to hold to that course. BTW, for anyone interested, the freebies (besides the above) that I use include the Silicone Investor website, which has pretty nice charts that can be configured back up to 5 years. Used to be pretty much only tech stocks, but nowadays has most of the other stuff, it seems. I also use Yahoo's charting, which includes moving averages, when you so configure them. Of course, BigCharts is extremely configurable and awesome in its capabilities (www.bigcharts.com) Dan On Mon, 10 Aug 1998 19:31:26 -0700, you wrote: :Does anyone know of a web site or program that will show daily charts = that :include a bar for today before the market closes?

I agree with your remarks on the market. My trading account is still 100% cash. My retirement account has cash, my bonds from July (doing nicely), and only one small holding in a non-canslim mattress-stuffer US stock (the rest were sold back in July). I am out in the northern weeds, watching and waiting. Your remarks on the Yen and intervention have been spot on over the last several months. Related to them is a very interesting article in theToronto Globe and Mail yesterday (this is Canada's "national" newspaper). In summary, it said that the Japanese are importing cars into Canada, and then re-exporting cars into the US from Canada. Why would they do such a thing? Well, the effect is to artificially lower the already bad trade imbalance figures between the US and Japan. This would understate the true figures, and perhaps defuse some of the potential political anger in Washington. True, it would worsen the trade imbalance figures with Canada, but these figures are usually either overlooked, or assumed by the media to be largely compsed of imports of natural resources into the US. The article used the Japanese automakers own figures ! Have not seen this story picked up anywhere in the US media.

It is a disaster of sorts. I wouldn't even use it if they paid me $40 a month to use it. Found a lot of bugs the first day I started using it. Mailed bug reports and although I did get a reply, the updates took way to long and there website where you have to download the software was pathetically slow (for me). IMNSHO the programmers of this Investor/RT software do not have a clue about what a user-friendly or proper Win95/98/NT4 program should look like. I should also mention that this was many months ago, maybe it is better now. - -- Johan Van Houtven - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 10:17:55 -0400 From: "Frank V.

Since the subjet of charting software came up recently, I would like to end it, in mind anyhow. The resounding answer to, "which charting software should I use?" is "It depends on what you want to do." This Makes sense. People ask me all the time, "Scott, what kind of computer should I get," and I always say, "What do you wnat to do." I am trying to make a decision among the following pieces of software. I realize that I can probably get trial version s of tehm, but if any of them need to be ruled out, I am trying to do that in advance. Quotes Plus 2 Window On Wall Street Tele Chart 2000 Daily Graphs On-Line Metachart (?) Below, I have listed what I want to be able to do. Related to this is where do these packages get their data from? Is there a standard quote format that I should make sure a piece of software can read? Here are the questions I have about the software: - -can I screen on technical indicators? - -can I screen on fundamental data? - -can I write my own screens based on technical and fundamental data? - -can I write my own technical indicators? - -Can I produce charts with technical indicators, and fundamental information? - -Can I download all stock data at the end of each day. If I miss a day (out of town), have the ability to download all the end of day stock data since the last time I downloaded. - -If I would like intraday quotes, can I get them?

For all stocks in the database? Can I get them in the middle of the day?" WOWS has an upgrade for Pro Investor called Internet Trader Pro 7. It does provide intraday quotes along with a bunch of other things. It's described at their new website at www.windowonwallstreet.com. The upgrade adds to the cost of Pro Investor, though, and the data download process is different. Pre-release price is available only until 8/31. <<-How much does the data cost?>> Through DialData, $35/mo including fundamental data. If you don't want the fundamental data, the cost is less, but if you don't want the fundamental data, the only advantage to WOWS as far as I can see is the low cost. - --Db _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I am using a very loose definition of that in order to allow myself to include some companies like DELL - which is just a computer maker, and LU - which makes a lot of telephone equipment, not just for the internet. Of course I have several companies that are basicly just catalog retailers who also have a web page and shopping cart. If I really add everyone of the catalogers in a year, it will be every catalog retailer in the country I imagine - and lots of other retailers too. WMT, for example has a web page with closeout specials you will not see in their store. Anyway - it is kind of an interesting list. Some are clearly right in the middle of the net. And there are new ones every day. If anyone has any more companies that I should add to my list, let me know. I like looking at these charts on a semi-regular basis. Here is my list of internet related stocks.
