- $tock$tack is a Hypercard® stack which allows you to track
- various technical indicators for individual stocks, mutual
- funds, market indices (such as the Dow Jones Industrial
- Average), currencies, bonds, and interest rate instruments. It
- tracks and plots the stock price (open, high, low, and close),
- trading volume, moving averages, stochastics, Relative Strength
- Index, and "On Balance Volume", on a daily, weekly, or monthly
- basis.
-
- $tock$tack was originally designed to utilize quote files (in a
- TEXT format) from the Prodigy™ Interactive Personal Service.
- Consult your Prodigy™ service user's manual for information on
- how to download quotes to a text file. I have also added the
- capability to read America OnLine™ Stock Portfolio Display
- files, CompuServe™ MQuote II files, CompuServe™ Information
- Manager QuickQuotes files, CompuServe™ Navigator QuickQuote files,
- and GEnie™ quote files (comma-delimited). You may also manually
- enter data for your stocks. If you have some other format that you
- download quotes in, or from a service other than those listed above,
- please contact me and I'll look into including that format in future
- versions of $tock$tack.
-
- $tock$tack requires HyperCard® software version 2.1, at least 2
- megabytes of RAM (under System 6) or 4 megabytes under System 7.
- HyperCard® must be allocated at least 1500K of RAM (change by
- "Getting Info" on HyperCard). The stack will automatically size
- itself for a 13" RGB screen (640x480). If your screen size is
- different, the stack will be the standard size for a 9" screen
- (512x342). If you desire a small card despite having a larger
- screen, holding the Command-key while opening $tock$tack (each
- time) will force a 9" standard card.
-
- You may try this stack for 40 days without registering. During
- this time, you have full graphing capabilites, but the stack
- will only maintain 50 days worth of data. After that time
- period, the stack will not allow you to add additional data
- without the password, which you obtain when you register. Once
- you have registered, you will be allowed to configure the stack
- to your desires, telling it how many days to maintain data, what
- graphs to graph, how many days to use for various statistics,
- and what stock commision rates to use. You will also be
- informed when future upgrades are available. Some planned
- additions include:
- 1. Continuing to write routines as external functions to speed
- up the program.
- 2. The capability to track a portfolio, possibly multiple
- portfolios.
-
- To register, send $40 and the following information to:
- Patrick M. Sullivan
- 2658 Worden St. #227
- San Diego, CA 92110-5851
-
- Have fun, & good luck.
- Note: Registered users of previous versions send $40 - previous registration fees.
