“A new service on the World Wide Web enables Linux users to
access a full range of US stockmarket data and analysis tools via
the Internet. The service, 3G, can be found at
www.mytradingtool.com. It can scan the entire NASDAQ database
in about 20 seconds looking for patterns in the price data or signs
of upward-trending activity. 3G provides a range of analysis tools
and access to data for over 9000 equities traded on the NYSE, AMEX
and NASDAQ.“
“The user downloads a client software application which
communicates with a US server site. Each time the user starts the
application the client software self-checks to ensure it is the
latest version. If not the current version is automatically
downloaded. The advantage of ASP delivery for users is absence of
software installation and upgrades, and the need to update data on
a daily basis, usually required by market analysis software.
Improvements to the service are delivered automatically and
continuously via the web, allowing the developers to rapidly
incorporate enhancements.”
“Paul Tetley, the Technical Manager of software developers BDG
Australia says users can chart stock prices, perform searches for
market activity and patterns in the price data, display indicators
and save their own preferences and watchlists onto the server for
later retrieval.They can also read other’s comments on a stock and
submit their own comments.”
