jstock.sourceforge.net migrated to jstock.org

Due to the fallen of sourceforge (http://www.gluster.org/2013/08/how-far-the-once-mighty-sourceforge-has-fallen/), we decide to slowly move away from sourceforge. Our first step is have a new domain name :

How upgrade to premium process look like?

There is reason why we do not want to put up an explicit "Upgrade to Premium" in a more obvious way (Says a main menu item). We want you to spend your $4.99 in a wise way. We hope you will only purchase something, which is useful to you.

We hold a very strong believe that, we do not want your money if you are not absolutely happy. We prefer to have 1 happy customer, rather than 10 so-so customers.

What we did is, whenever you try to use the following features

• Open from cloud
• Save to cloud
• Buy summary chart
• Sell summary chart
• Dividend chart
• Zoom tool for history chart
• Creating more than 2 watchlists or portfolios
• Background stock alert
• Display foreign stock holding in local currency

only then the "Upgrade to Premium" dialog will shown up. If any of the above features is useful to you, we encourage you upgrade to premium. $4.99 will be very much worth spent.

If not, we feel that free version of JStock Android (which comes with advertisement supported) is very much suit to your current need. No premium upgrade is required.

As a part for upgrading to premium, advertisement will be removed permanently.

Before paying $4.99, You can play around with the premium features. Some of them come with "Demo" button. You can have a real user experience on these features, before spending your hard earned money.

But still, if you are still wondering how upgrading premium process look like, here it goes.

1. Select any of the premium features. Save to cloud for example.

2. The following dialog will be shown, as you haven't upgraded to premium.

3. Upgrade to premium dialog box. The big blue button will trigger the Google Play payment system. There is quite a number of "Demo" button, which you may have a real user experience on these features, before spending your hard earned money.

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 :)

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.
