WatchStocks - The Server Window

The server settings that must be configured

You must enter at least one server URL from which the stocks can be queried. The stocks are usually presented in tables... So You simply need to search a Web Page (from Your stock-broker?) that contains the data. But be careful, mostly those pages use frames and You do not get the correct URL. Click in Your WebBrowser on 'view frame in a new browser' - then You will see the correct URL. Enter this complete URL in the Server-field and press the add-button.

If Your stock-quotes-server requires an identification, You must enter something like ?id=myname in the ID-field. Otherwise this field remains empty (enter an asterix *).

If You want to temporarily disable an URL, simply uncheck the active-checkbox.

Remark: When an URL is newly added and queried for the first time, the WatchStocks program does not understand the received data... A normally unvisible window 'DontKnow' comes up and You will be asked to interprete some keywords. Answer carefully!!!

Here is a list of some stock-quote-server-URLs

(If You know some more URLs, please tell me...)
