$tock$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.
