First of all, Thanks a lot for developing this free software! Big THANK YOU!! notworthy.gif

I've updated to the 1.0.5y version.

1. I found that the price updating is not stable. For instance, it sometimes keeps changing every seconds or so for a quite some time.
2. The stock watchlist doesn't work well. The alert messages sometimes appears and repeats the same many times, but not all alerts work.

For the above 2 issues, I suspect it's because of the behavior of price updating info from yahoo finance to your system has been changed.
I'd suggest that you may just grab all info periodically(say every 30 seconds), since yahoo finance's share price is a delayed one anyway.

3. I'd love to have a one button feature to save the portfolio, instead of required to save to separately (buy, sell, cash...etc). So a one click save button, may generate all those excel files separately (or in one, i don't mind).


Great job! Cheers! thumbup.gif

I've been using this great freeware for 2 years.
I really hope to see one simple feature: sorting on columns (by stock name etc.). That would be very helpful when trying to find certain selling price history since there is no search feature.

Hope the developers could see this feedback message. Thank you very much for your hard work!! notworthy.gif

Thanks! notworthy.gif

I just did a search there and there were a few requests on this feature since 2009 and so.
So they just didn't think it's an important feature I guess. Although some of us think it's very important and useful. sad.gif

Hi, we had made a new release which is having Java 7 fix. Feel free to make a download from JStock - Free Stock Market Software

This highlighted feature for this new version, is extremely fast investment flow chart.

Can't thank you enough for sharing this software with us for free for quite a long time now. notworthy.gif
I'd just highlight a few easily made features that you may consider to put in in future version:

1. sorting on colume (ie. stock name) in "Portfolio Management" page. Since i have a big list of stocks in my "Sell" screen, it's very difficult for me to find a particular stock and to see what were my past selling price.

2. Provide a "Refresh" button to refresh on price screens such as the "Portfolio Management", and especially useful on the "Watchlist" screen because we may missed it when it blinked for just a few seconds.

3. We cannot modified old stock name such as 0110.KL is now RA but we still see KZEN. The easiest way to solve it is to also show out the stock code "0110", then we are very clear that it's the correct stock.

Thank you once again! notworthy.gif
