Medved QuoteTracker Review - Mark Ingebretsen @ TheStreet
Jul 7th, 2007 by OQ in PC Softwares
Mark Ingebretsen @ TheStreet writes, "... QuoteTracker is a nicely designed free program that's modeled after high-end execution platforms ... which charge subscription fees, QuoteTracker requires that you download the front-end, or "client" software, and set it up to run on your computer. ... You can also construct charts that update themselves in real time and overlay those charts with technical indicators. ... I especially liked the simple pull-down menu that lets you access news and fundamental data on any of the stocks in your portfolio. These sorts of features are worlds removed from what a mainstream brokerage trading platform offers. ... By contrast, QuoteTracker is a program that's embedded in your system, just like your word processor. Thanks to this architecture, QuoteTracker will likely run faster and be less prone to crash than a Java-based application. ... Nevertheless, to use QuoteTracker you also need to sign up with a financial data provider that supplies stock prices in a format QuoteTracker can use. ... Ameritrade, E*Trade, Fidelity and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter are among the 10 other online brokerages whose data streams QuoteTracker supports."Medved QuoteTracker website »
