Zow-ee, Terr! Your webtracker is a lot of program. I especially like the ability to use a broker's free realtime quotes to create intraday charts. I'm not too bright, and watching columns of numbers sometimes gets beyond my feeble mental capacity.

Despite my praises, I can't use it. I use Netscape, not Explorer (for the same reason I refuse to sign up with Web St. -- MicroSoft's arrogance and lack of customer support <G>). Also, there is no way, short of you opening an account there, to create the parsing scripts for various brokers. I use Fidelity Spartan via FOX, and will soon add Brown & Co. Clearly, you can't open accounts at every online broker in order to create the update scripts.

None the less, I'm impressed with your program. If I used Explorer and Datek, I'd jump on this offer like a duck on a junebug.

Good trading,

jim

Welcome! I'm dying to try it and hear more about it. I don't suppose you've written a Mac version yet? Are you planning one?
