There's also a RealTick III forum at stockclub.com
You will need a Stock Club membership (free) to access it.
I am working on an accessory package called Scammer. It is basically a replacement for board views and alarms, but will (eventually) let you do quite a bit more. It's intended to let you do mass (well, 1000 to 2000 issues) scanning (er, scamming) of either real-time or static data (say, collect every 5 minutes), with filtering criteria.
Right now, it's not much more than a board view. It will handle more stocks than board views (I've tested it with 2000 - there is no real limit, though the practical limit is probably around 2000) and I'm kinda surprised that it doesn't backlog the server. I've included some fields that aren't available in RealTick (% change from open, %gap, and %spread are particularly useful) that are REAL handy to sort on to find gainers.
(Getting gainers is a bitch for RealTick users - you are either constrained to a relatively small universe, and can't get change from open, or you go to a web site somewhere to get them...)
It will also read either RealTick .slf files or Quotes Plus .lst files. Quotes Plus filters can be real handy for developing lists of trading candidates the night before. Eventually, it will be able to read the Quotes Plus database to get cleaner closing and historical prices and statistics. (Quotes Plus is an inexpensive end-of-day daily quote server, about 10 bucks a month. You get quotes for the whole market over the Internet in about a minute, then it merges them into a database you keep on your hard disk.)
I'll have a beta ready for testing next week some time. I released one yesterday, but had some problems with both PC Quotes and S&P Comstock becuase I made some dumb assumptions about how the servers are accessed. (I use Interquote, which has a much simpler server setup.) |
