Beautiful dividend chart

JStock Android now comes with a beautiful dividend chart, with stunning animation.

Some stocks aren't found in JStock Android

Although JStock Android does have intelligent stock suggestion, some users unable to find their favorite stocks sometimes.

In JStock - Free Stock Market Software, we provide an alternative way, for you to add in new stock manually.

http://jstock.sourceforge.net/help_real_time_info.html#new-database

However, JStock Android's feature is still not as rich as JStock - Free Stock Market Software's. (We aware of that. Everyday, we are working very hard to make JStock Android as good as JStock - Free Stock Market Software). Able to add new stock feature is in our To-Do list

https://trello.com/c/67lCRved/77-able-to-add-new-listed-stock-which-is-not-found-in-database

Right now, here is the alternative way you can try out. For instance, if you want to add IGBREIT, you can help JStock Android to discover the new stock, by providing its stock code (5227.KL)

We hope this workaround will work for you at this moment, till we make JStock Android better.

Happy investing :)

How to setup stock alert for JStock Android

Recently, I received quite a number of emails, asking on how to setup stock alert for JStock Android. I'm going to show you an example on how to do that.

I wish to receive stock alert, when PUBLIC BANK BHD rises above 15.

Here are the detailed steps.

1. Go to watchlist page.
2. Press menu, select Stock alert.
3. Type 15 under Rise Above column. Remember to press SAVE.
4. Press menu, select Settings. Enable Alert.

Congratulation! It works right now :)

Please note that, to avoid annoying you, once you receive stock alert on that day, you will only receive the same stock alert in next day. We will not buzz you with multiple same stock alerts within a single day.

Hope this helps! If not, let's raise your doubt in https://www.facebook.com/JStockFreeStockMarketSoftware

2013 Development Plan for JStock

Better JXTreeTable for Portfolio

Currently, we are using JXTreeTable from SwingX 0.9.6 as portfolio presentation. There is a glitch in term of user experience. Sometimes, you need to perform double click, instead of single click to select a row. 

Let's look at the following situation.

If the mouse is hover the stock name, performing single click will select the row.

However, if the mouse is not hover the stock name, user needs to perform double click in order to select the row. This is not a correct behavior. We expect single click will do the job.

I guess this is bug in SwingX 0.9.6. To fix the problem, we need to grab SwingX 0.9.6 source code, and perform necessary source code fixes on SwingX 0.9.6.

Able to perform figures drawing on stock history chart

For technical analysis users, they would love to perform the following figures drawing on stock history chart

• Draw lines with selected color, line thickness
• Draw circles with selected color, line thickness
• Draw text with selected color, font size, font attribute and font type

We can either use JHotDraw (http://jstock.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/jstock/JHotDraw/), or build up our very own simple figures drawing framework.

We need good programmers to take charge of these challenging tasks. If you are interested in contributing to this open source project, do drop me an email yccheok [at] yahoo dot com

Android development

Progress is slow lately. In view of that, we will to hire a full time programmer around mid of March, to speed up the development. At this moment, we decide to make Android ported JStock as a closed source project. (http://www.jstock.co/) We will reveal more information in coming months.

One day, even the original team lefts JStock, the project will still be alive and evolve. There will always be new people coming in, to take care of and grow the project.

Together, we are just getting started...

Thank you,

Need help to assembly back DingBot

Hello.

My name is Cheok and I am from Malaysia.


I owned a DingBot (http://www.theoldrobots.com/dingbot.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Na__KjdHPg) 20+ back years ago. Just that recently, I want to gift it to my small niece. However, I realize its DC motor not working anymore, due to loosen of wire. Hence, I dissemble the entire robot, tighten the wire. The DC motor is working right now. 


Unfortunately, I have no idea how to put it back anymore! The design of its mechanical is much more sophisticated than I expected! (Yah, It is patented! - http://www.theoldrobots.com/images49/Dingbot-1.pdf)

Here is the characteristics of this robot 

1) He will move forward for a while 

2) He will then stop, turn his head left right several times. 

3) While his head is turning, there is sound being emitted. (Interesting, I don't find any sound chip in the robot. I was wondering how does it emit the sound using mechanical way?)

4) Just in case he hits obstacle, he will turn around (I am not quite remember he is turning left or right) 

Here are the components where I cannot figure out how to put them together, so that the moving-stop-head turning-moving mechanism works.

Here are its other components. I think I shouldn't have problem to put up rest of others. 

http://i.imgur.com/O4Kdh.jpg 
http://i.imgur.com/qWboB.jpg 

If you own this robot, help is very much appreciated, to teach me how to assembly back the robot. I really wish to pass down my childhood favorite toy to my niece. 

Or, possible for you to help me spread this message to appropriate community? As I do not mix around much with robot hobbyist community :)

Thanks a lot!

JStock development and bug fixing activities will be temporary halted
