NAME
linuxtrade - A stock tracking console with real-time
quotes
SYNOPSIS
linuxtrade [options] [symbols]
DESCRIPTION
There are a number of free and subscription streaming real
time quote services available on the web, such as scot
trader.com (free) and money.net (subscription). They
offer visually slick looking Java based applications which
suffer from all the usual problems: too big, requires a
graphical user interface, requires a web browser where
Java actually works, can't save and replay the data, etc.
In addition, they are rarely designed to offer convenient
access to stock news and other information.
linuxtrade is a Curses (text-based) implementation of a
stock streamer application, plus additional features
inspired by the excellent MedVed QuoteTracker Windows pro
gram, plus its own set of unique features. linuxtrade is
lightweight yet has all the cool features: portfolios,
real time quotes, charts with live updates, time and
sales, fundamental and technical indicators, top ten and
market movers, news articles, alerts, option chains, the
Briefing.com In Play and Up/Downgrades lists, earnings,
splits and quiet period calendars, and Level 2 market
depth indications from the Archipelago and the Island
ECN's.
linuxtrade currently supports scottrader.com, schwab.com,
money.net, quotemedia.com, sonictrading.com, and other
streamer servers; see the complete list below.
