Ticker software that does event handling

    Hi there
    I am new to EliteTrader so forgive me if this may come off as a beginner. I have searched throughout the internet (including this forum) for ticker software that does the following:
    1. Tracks Yahoo Finance data for most advancing stocks of the day. I am also interested for options in this as well. If this is possible, I would like it to be done dynamically instead of providing a fix set of stock symbols in a portfolio form. It would be ideal if this could be done in real time.
    2. Raises an event for certain conditions to issue a system call on the Window command line.

    What software does this? Is it trading platforms or just simple stock ticker desktop software? is there any open source or freeware ones?

    Thanks
