Stock Quotes Feed

I am writing a trading simulator software and I need a reliable real time market feed. Does anyone know what options do I have?
I know yahoo finance has a real time market data feed, but I am not sure how good it is or if it fits my needs.
One problem I am foreseeing is that in order to calculate your exact earning at a certain, you have to be able to get all your stock quotes at the same instant. Calling getQuotes(Security sec) on every stock will probably result in imprecise calculations.

3. The bogus assumption that he can get multiple quotes at the exact same instant and calculate his exact balance intra-day.Ok. So it's not Java related, but that is doable if you have a market feed (which a normal person doesn't have)yes and no. While it is possible to get a snapshot of values at a specific moment in time and from that calculate the value of a portfolio, depending on the volatility of the instruments and the time needed to gather and process the information the actual value will have shifted by the time you've calculated it.
Say you have a highly volatile instrument.
By the time the value of that stock has been recorded by the information broker, looked up for you, and transmitted to you, it may well have changed radically.
As these are the main instruments of interest to people trading on intraday timescales, they effectively can never (during the trading day) know the exact value of their portfolios, only an estimate based on snapshots.
For most prudent investors of course that's not so much of a problem, as they tend to invest in less volatile instruments, leaving (unless in extreme cases, like the crash of Fortis last year in Amsterdam and Brussels) enough time to calculate an accurate status that's at least valid for a few seconds.I think the keyword to what I said is that it requires a market feed, and I'm in that case talking about a direct market feed from the trading system. E.g. MBL or a full flow that requires you to calculate shadow orderbooks for the system. It's normally only information vendors, banks etc that have such connections.

Stock quote rate and time in a small portlet

Hi Gurus,
Is there any website from where I can get the stock quote of my company and show it in a small 1 inchX1 inch size portlet. I don't want to show the entire content of the page. I just want to show the quote rate and time. I have tried Yahoo, Quote, Nasdaq. I have tried to use Web clipping portlet to grab that part alone. They have some script calls from that area to the other part of the page. So, when I open the portlet, it gives me the pop up script error. Gurus, Can you post a reply if you have any idea about this.
Thanks
Raj

You can use the Web Page data source in OmniPortlet. There are also various Stock Quote Web Services or XML feeds that can be used with OmniPortlet.
If you need more information, please post your question to the PDK forum.

Stock quotes portlet

Sorry if this doesn't really belong here... we need a stock quote portlet on our Intranet portal, anybody knows a good source to get stock quote?

I was thinking doing a little more, for example, store symbols as community pref (or user pref) to display multiple quotes in one portlet and have flexibility to format the display within the code (we can write the code ourselves). Any good source providing feed like that (it is ok to have small fees attached)?

Firefox 4 won't allow My MSN to open Win Live Calendar, Hotmail or provide stock quotes on the default page.

My home page is My MSN. All prev. versions of Firefox opened the Calendar, Hotmail in preview fashion. Click either would take me to their main page. Stock quotes were also displayed, refreshing whenever the page was reloaded. Now, all I see are the banners for Calendar, Hotmail. Stock quotes show only info as to who provides the data. Click on any of the three takes me to the proper page. I've deleated Firefox4, then downloaded twice with no change.
HELP!

Since I could not find a solution, I uninstalled Firefox 4 and installed Internet Explorer 8. Now My MSN works fine.
I also installed then uninstalled Google Chrome. It may be a Microsoft thing that prevents other web browsers from working with My MSN. I am not a fan of MSNBC and may go to another homepage, but after 13 years it's difficult to change.

Ticker Symbol for S&P 500 for Stock Quote Widget?

Anyone know what the ticker symbol is for the S&P 500 so I can see that in the stock quote widget which comes with OS X 10.4? I have searched Quote.com endlessly but cannot find it.
When I search quote.com it says the symbol is $SPB, but when I try to enter that in the widget it tells me "no matching symbols".
Help appreciated.
thanks
Paul D.

I use INX for the S&P 500. That only gives the graphs but not the percentage though, so it's not the best solution.

Off topic - fetching stock quotes

From where can I fetch stock quotes? I know it is not even related to java programming (except it is supposed to be implemented in java), but I don't even know where to begin... Please help??

Pete the Hat has a point. If you use a free source for a commercial project you can get in some hot water. After all, nobody wants to support the load of someone else's website since the extra hardware, bandwidth, etc. will cost big bucks... Not to mention copy right infringements with the data.
With that said, if you are wanting to develop something for your own personal use, you may want to check out http://www.finance.yahoo.com. On most of their web pages for quotes they have an option to download the information as a CSV file. Look for the link that says "Download Spreadsheet" which is usually right before the text "Quotes delayed 15 minutes".

Since upgrade when I am in Google Finance and look at stock quote, and hit to see chart for say six months, it now opens a blank web page. this did not happen before the most recent upgrade? How fix? Explorer will still provide the chart.

Just go to google finance and get a stock quote on any stock and then the price comes up and you can choose to see the price history of different time periods, 1, 5, day one week, one month, etc. In the past when you hit the button for one of the charts, it would just change the chart on the same page, now it opens a new page that is blank?

I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

Excel queries to MSN MoneyCentral Investor Stock Quotes stopped working

I update stock quotes in 3 spreadsheets using a query to MSN MoneyCentral Investor Stock Quotes. Three days ago (after using for 2 years) , the Refresh for Data
Connection would not work, giving me a pop-up with "Unable to open...http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/excel/quotes.asp?SYMBOL =MSFT+ +CSCO+ +ABT+ +...etc"
What is going on? Can we no longer get quotes from MSN?

Create Your Own!
First, navigate yourself to c:/program files/microsoft office/officeXX/queries. The XX is either 12, 13, 14depending on system.
Then copy the MSN Stock Quote file and paste. Rename it YahooQuotes. It will be an .iqy file (inquiry)
Open it with Notepad and put this in it....
WEB
1
http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/["QUOTE","Enter stock, fund or other symbols separated by commas."]/view/fv
Selection=2
Formatting=All
PreFormattedTextToColumns=True
ConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne=True
SingleBlockTextImport=False
Save it. This will allow you to get the same data as from the old moneycentral into a table. From there, you're on your own. BTW, you can play with the "/view/fv" to get different columns.
BTW, I know just enough to be dangerous

Retrieving stock quotes using concatenate

I've read most of the posts on downloading stock quotes and I haven't quite found the answer to my question, so here goes a new discussion...
I have a table of 57 ticker symbols that I follow. The table grows and shrinks regularly as I find new companies to follow and remove ones that don't meet my needs. Each ticker symbol is listed in column A of my DATA table and each row contains all the various data for that symbol. Here's a small section of that table as an example...
Ticker
Review Date
S&P Stars

AAPL
May 17, 2013

I've created a CONCATENATE formula to combine the ticker symbols into a single cell (C12):
=CONCATENATE(Data :: A3,",",Data :: A4,",",Data :: A5,",",Data :: A6,",",Data :: A7,",",Data :: A8,",",Data :: A9,",",Data :: A10,",",Data :: A11,",",Data :: A12,",",Data :: A13,",",Data :: A14,",",Data :: A15,",",Data :: A16,",",Data :: A17,",",Data :: A18,",",Data :: A19,",",Data :: A20,",",Data :: A21,",",Data :: A22,",",Data :: A23,",",Data :: A24,",",Data :: A25,",",Data :: A26,",",Data :: A27,",",Data :: A28,",",Data :: A29,",",Data :: A30,",",Data :: A31,",",Data :: A32,",",Data :: A33,",",Data :: A34,",",Data :: A35,",",Data :: A36,",",Data :: A37,",",Data :: A38,",",Data :: A39,",",Data :: A40,",",Data :: A41,",",Data :: A42,",",Data :: A43,",",Data :: A44,",",Data :: A45,",",Data :: A46,",",Data :: A47,",",Data :: A48,",",Data :: A49,",",Data :: A50,",",Data :: A51,",",Data :: A52,",",Data :: A53,",",Data :: A54,",",Data :: A55,",",Data :: A56,",",Data :: A57,",",Data :: A58,",",Data :: A59)
Returns to cell C12 the following:
AAPL,ACN,AFL ... WMT,YUM
I then use the next formula to retrieve updated quotes from the Yahoo website:
=HYPERLINK("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=" & C12 & "&f=snl1d1","Download Prices")
Once the quotes.csv is downloaded, I copy and past the stock prices into my Data table.
Now to my question:
Can the CONCATENATE formula above be simplified so that it's easier to add or remove cells?
If I add a bunch of new symbols to the Data table then I have to remember to add each new cell to the formula above. Or, if I delete a bunch of symbols then I delete the same number of cells from the formula.
This is a great example of the need for a range of cells in CONCATENATE.
Perhaps some programmer can get create and allow =CONCATENATE(Data :: A3:A59,",") where A3:A59 is the range and "," indicates an optional separation character.

You can implement like:
The top table is name "Download Link" and is a single-cell table. The bottom table contains your ticker symbols and has a column which concatentates the previous list with a new sysmbol-- you can hide column B.
B2=B1&IF(ISBLANK(A2), "", IF(ROW() = 2, "", ",")&A2)
select B2 and fill down as needed.
In the top table "Download Link"
A1=HYPERLINK("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=" & OFFSET(TickerTable :: $B$2, ROWS(TickerTable :: B)-2, 0) & "&f=snl1d1","Download Prices")
This takes the fully concatenated string from column B of the ticker table. If you change the name of the tables adjust them in the formulas.

Download data in text format from your online broker.
Parse file for line with required stock.
Use StringTokenizer for dissection.
Convert data.
Display in applet.
I once had an application called MyTrader and they had all kind of data in their application for free. But I don't know if you can get at the raw data and not how up to date, but I think they were quite fresh.

OW4J Stock Quote Demo Configuration Changes

Hello,
In the last few days, the Delayed Stock Quote web service published by xmethods has been in a flux. The web service has been taken on and off the website. Today, thanks to Timothy, i noticed that they have changed the URL of the web service to http://64.124.140.30:9090/soap.
Unless you change this parameter in the demo, you will be getting "504 Gateway Timeout" errors.
To get the Stock Quote Demo working, please do the following:
1. Open the StockQuote.jpr Project.
2. Click on the StockQuote.xml process
The structure pane shows the Structure of the Process
3. Click on the SERVICE_PROVIDER_URL process activity attribute (processActivity1 being the process activity)
4. Change the value on the Property Inspector to http://64.124.140.30:9090/soap
5. Save the project and run the demo
Cheers!
Raja

Hi,
THe Error is different now after the settings. Sorry for my earlier post. I am getting the following error message. DO I need to have some SOAP server running in JDeveloper ? If so pl. tell me how to start and configure the SOAP Server in JDeveloper. One more thing, I have the Embedded OC4J Http Server running in port 8988(default in JDeveloper), but inside the URI is configured in ProcessActivityAttribute property as http://localhost:9090. I am not able to understand. Please explain.
