I need a desktop stock ticker

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by misterno, Jun 4, 2011.

  1. I am a swing trader and trade from work.

    So I can not have a whole page open for trading all the time. I need a stock ticker application only for 1 ticker and real time

    I see yahoo real time is $11/month, anything better, reliable, cheaper?

    just open up a google finance quote page and then shrink it a small square where only the quotes show -- it will update frequently enough to be like a ticker
     
  3. Thanks for the advice

    At work, I have several pages open all the time, and everytime I switch to a new page, this square window which has the price in it, would be swept under the new windows

    I need that square or window to be always at the top

    How can I do that?

    Nice find brown.
     
  6. I've been using it for years. Love being able to pin something quickly. And is so light on resources, hard to not like it.
     
  7. I used deskpin

    But when I wanted to minimize yahoo page where the real time stock price appears, I can only minimize it so much and it is still so big

    I guess I need a bar at the top or bottom of the secreen that shows the price.

    I think you want something like that. http://tradeatwork.com

    I'm using it daily at work for quite some time now. What ticker(s) do you want to monitor?
