Hi all.
I would like to make a stock quote program. I want it to mainly tell me what the peek price for each stock is and to tell me (through a pop-up window or something) if the price drops 10% or more from its peek price. I would also like it to run in the background (in Windows XP) and to automatically retrieve the quotes from the Internet and do all the calculations at a set time each weekday. My questions are: What is the best programming language for building this application? How and where do I download quotes for the program? If anyone knows of a web site or program that does this already, please tell me so I can use while I make my own. Please note that I’m not an experienced programmer. Thanks. Delta013 |

If you aren't an experience programmer, this probably wouldn't be the way to start. There are many financial and investor websites that offer these kinds of services. Just do a search on Google and you will be able to find something. Real-time quotes will cost you some money, however.

I have tried using financial websites, but I have yet to find one that will tell me if the stock’s price drops 10% from its peek price. I found some that can tell me about day-to-day price drops, but that’s it.
