Does anybody have any experience with getting quotes and placing orders over the cell phone or PDA? Thanks.
With jme2 (JAVA) it will be possible for streaming data. One co. that is developing it is Hillcast; in Austin, TX.
Thanks Shadaj. I'd like to know if it's realistic to swing-trade. No more than 1-2 trades a day, hold position for more than 1 day, checking quotes every 10-15 minutes, execution speed, confirmation(!!) etc. What broker do you use?
Cesko, That is very realistic. I have friends who do this all the time. They tell me "This way the boss can't catch me on the computer". :+) Courtney
PDA, Ameritrade, only 2 problems so far 1 is if you are using it constantly the device will shut itself down after about 4 hours of use to recharge it's transmitter. Takes about one and a half hours. Other is it dosn't work to good while it's in motion, I don't mean walking around, I mean if you are in a moving car. Sometimes it will "connect", most times it won't. Hell, Ive made money sitting in McDonald's drive thru! The screen is getting a little scratched from the stylus.
