I've been meaning to program a software that would allow me to
set rules and alerts to scan for me the stock market. While I was
browsing the web, I found this great freeware, open source software
that is still being supported today.
It's called jstock. As the name says, it is coded in Java. You
can download the executable for your OS (Windows, Linux, Mac) or,
if you prefer, download the entire source code and build it with
Netbeans IDE.
http://www.jstock.org/
What impresses me the most is that you can build your own custom
indicators using a graphical interface, no need to program it in
Java. You can also setup alerts by email or even sms (if you have a
google calendar account). Indicators are already available and can
be downloaded. I use what already exists to teach myself how to
write new ones.
All this is free and I'm seriously considering donating to the
author. It supports most exchanges in the world, not only
North-American ones.
If like me you would like to have a free software to search for
market opportunities with the knowledge acquired from BPT, this is
for you. Check it out.
