hi gaj,
i visited the blog site and found it very interesting, i am particularly in love with the pivot calculator.
we have a wonderful set of commited member programmers with skills in VB and the like. The member programmers with the java skil-set are yet to come out publicly. I see the beginning with you. (apologies if i missed to notice somebody).
i have a few thoughts about the pivot calculator.
1) option to select the method of calculation (Woodie's or one of the other ones) may be given to user.
2) instead of manually entering the values of a stock for the previous day's open,high,low,close values, the program can obtain the same from yahoo site.
3) A link to the symbol look-up feature of yahoo site will be of ready help to get the correct symbol.
4) you may use a cookie to store the previously entered symbols for easy retrieval of pivot values. A typical user swithes between a few stocks on any day.
5) Today's current value can also be displayed for timely decision. for this you may get the current value again from yahoo site. If you log-in to yahoo and select 'remember me on this computer, you will get live quotes, therwise 15 minute delayed ones.
6) Well, why not you make one deliverable version and release to the members of the forum, so that users may make it their home page? The members of the forum will be very grateful to you.
either on this project, or any other investment related issue, members of this forum, including me will always be too happy to provide any help.
thanks for your courtesy of providing the link. i hope to see your blog site with many more features as time goes on and may transform into a must link for any investor.
all the best in investing too.
