So I'm getting really sick of E*TRADE and, being a developer, would love to find an online broker that offers an API. It would be great to be able to write my own trading tools, and maybe even modify existing ones. Based on my research so far, I've only found one option. Interactive Brokers offers a multi-language API (Java/C++/ActiveX/...
I know you can get historical end of day stock data from both Google and Yahoo, and I'm able to get delayed quotes from Yahoo. I'm looking for free intra day historical stock data, ideally with data at every five minutes or less. ...
What I want to do is take a certain stock pattern (defined as a series of x and y coordinates) and compare it against historical stock prices. If I find anything in the historical prices similar to that pattern I defined, I would like to return it as a match. I'm not sure how to determine how similar two curved lines are. I did some r...
Hi all, I'm currently using Magento ver 1.1.6. My store only sells unique items (shirts with exclusive designs) which means at any one time, only 1 unit is available for each items. How do I omit those items which are already sold from being displayed in the front page? BTW, I'm using these code to show products on the front page: {{b...
How can I link up the Google Finance API to display stock data in Flash? Any Flash + JavaScript mashup code would be great! Even code that can just access Google Finance's data would be great for starters! Better still, code that can access Google Finance's data and convert it into a CSV or suitable format for these chart componen...
Hi, I didn't realize until today that you can't get an RSS feed for a stock quote. Can someone suggest to me ways I can pull data from a service for a particular stock quote? It should include information about the stock etc. Thanks. I will be working in .NET. ...
I have a program that downloads basic historical stock data from yahoo and puts it into an SQLite database. I'd like to be able to perform queries such as finding the moving average, and determining the longest period where a stock has either continued to go up or down. I could write perl functions to do this but this seems like overkill...
I would like to make a free open-source C++ application for both Linux and Windows which will create live stock market charts (i.e. they're refreshed frequently). Please could you give me some pointers on these issues: What should I use as the data source? Are there free services I can implement? I would like to use the same or simila...
Is there a widget for GTK or QT that would allow me to draw stock charts like this? http://smartquant.com/openquant/openquant_chart.jpg (copy&paste the URL due to hotlinking restriction) Thanks, Joel ...
I'm trying to make a stock market simulator (perhaps eventually growing into a predicting AI), but I'm having trouble finding data to use. I'm looking for a (hopefully free) source of historical stock market data. Ideally, it would be a very fine-grained (second or minute interval) data set with price and volume of every symbol on NASD...
I want to create a website similar to Yahoo finance, but much less complex for an independent study. I will be using Java to do this and would like to get stock quotes through a web service as part of the learning experience. It needs to be free or low cost and ideally would be real-time although do to licensing that probably won’t hap...
Is there any sort of API that just offers a simple symbol lookup service? i.e., input a company name and it will tell you the ticker symbol? I've tried just screen-scraping Google Finance, but after a little while it rate limits you and you have to enter a CAPTCHA. I'm trying to batch-lookup about 2000 ticker symbols. Any ideas? ...
I have a friend who’s blind that does some stock trading. Unfortunately all the technical indicators such as moving average, resistance, and support levels are shown in charts on the major discount brokerage sites as well as most other stock sites. It’s possible to find this information in text form online but as far as I can tell there’...
Hi, I need advice on how could I modify the parameters (high, low, close, open) of a data item in a OHLCSeries. Thanks. ...
I used to use my Java programs to get free stock data (historical prices, charts, current prices ...) from Yahoo, but recently it stopped working, because Yahoo doesn't seem to welcome people systematically getting data that way. So I wonder if there is any good (reliable and kept up-to-date) open source Java packages that get free stock...
Where can I download stocks' historical data for 5 years for the stock markets: NASDAQ, DJIA, FTSE100, NIKKEI ? Thanks. ...
I'm looking to get my hands on an API (hopefully one that's platform agnostic) that allows me to retrieve real time (or as close to it) equity prices / volume (hopefully). I'm not a professional trader and can't afford anything really expensive (although I'm willing to pay a fair bit a month for such a service). I'm seeking to monitor ...
Hi guys, Can anyone direct me in the right direction? Basically, I'm trying to analyze stock prices and see if I can spot any patterns. I'm using PHP and MySQL to do this. Where can I find sample algorithms like the ones used in MetaStock or thinkorswim? I know they are closed source, but are there any tutorials available for beginners...
Hi, I would like to ask for some recommendations regarding the stock data distributers. Basically I am looking for a stock data provider which offers data distribution for commercial sites (we want to show the stock prices in our service) and has a good quality API. Of course the preference in our business is based on price and then ...
Hi, I'm trying to retrieve data for a Open-high-low-close (OHLC) chart directly from the database, it's the kind of chart you see of stocks. Is this possible, and if, how? I have a table like this (simplified): Date | Price | PriceType A record is created for each day, I will report per month / year, not per day as used for stocks. ...
