NEW STOCKMARKET ANALYSIS ASP FOR LINUX
Perth, Australia: A new service on the World Wide Web enables Linux users
to access a full range of US stockmarket data and analysis tools via the
Internet.
The service, 3Gヤ, can be found at www.mytradingtool.com. It can scan the
entire NASDAQ database in about 20 seconds looking for patterns in the price
data or signs of upward-trending activity. 3Gヤ provides a range of analysis
tools and access to data for over 9000 equities traded on the NYSE, AMEX and
NASDAQ.
The user downloads a client software application which communicates with a
server based on BDG Australia痴 web site. Each time the user starts the
application the client software self-checks to ensure it is the latest
version. If not the current version is automatically downloaded. The
advantage of ASP delivery for users is absence of software installation and
upgrades, and the need to update data on a daily basis, usually required by
market analysis software. Improvements to the service are delivered
automatically and continuously via the web, allowing the developers to
rapidly incorporate enhancements.
Paul Tetley, the Technical Manager of software developers BDG Australia says
users can chart stock prices, perform searches for market activity and
patterns in the price data, display indicators and save their own
preferences and watchlists onto the server for later retrieval. They can
also read other痴 comments on a stock and submit their own comments.
The software was chosen as a finalist in the Business Software World 2000
competition.
展e entered our first development prototype, not expecting it to fare well
in its initial form, so we were quite surprised to place in the top 20said
BDG Managing Director Mike von Bertouch.
The software uses Technical Analysis techniques to search and select stocks.
Technical Analysis is used by stock market professionals to predict likely
price movements from historical data.
G presents well understood concepts in an easy-to-use mannersaid von
Bertouch. 的t is a descendant of GOLDRUSH, a successful stand alone
application released by the company in 1999. GOLDRUSH was one of the first
applications to include pattern scanning of the price data as a standard
feature and its scanning is very fast by industry standards. 3G inherits
GOLDRUSH担 biggest advantage of ease of use.
典he 3G service currently available is only the beginningsaid von
Bertouch. 釘DG Australia has a very forward looking, market driven view of
its service development. It is currently creating training material and
advanced functionality which allows users to define their own scans and
indicators.
鉄ophisticated options pricing and brokerage facilities are planned for
later this year.
The 3G service uses the new Java WebStart product released by Sun
Microsystems at the end of December 2000.
笛ava WebStart from Sun has enabled us to fundamentally improve delivery of
capability to our customerssaid Tetley, 展ebStart allows the company to
offer products to the Linux community that would previously not have been
contemplated.
典he cross-platform nature of Java allows us to concentrate on quality of
service, not developing to meet the specific needs of particular platformshe said.
3G is currently one of the few products available for Linux that is not a
software development tool. It was developed by the team at BDG Australia, a
company based in Perth, Western Australia.
