StockXloader 4

What is StockXloader, and what can it do for you?

• StockXloader 4 is a Mac OS X application for fully automated downloading of stock market quotes and indexes from Yahoo! Finance to the technical analysis program ProTA or ProTA Gold from BeeSoft (http://beesoft.net), or to MS Excel or iWork Numbers. It collects quotes for almost any stock exchange in the world.
• Get historical quotes, or get "snapshots" of the latest price values for today (delayed intraday values). This way you can build your own database of ticker symbols containing historical quotes for the open/high/low/close of each day, plus current-day snapshots.
• It has a ticker list editor, with which you can create any number of lists containing ticker symbols. You set the category for each symbol, such as stocks, indexes, mutual funds, futures. For each ticker symbol you can also give its full security name, supply a comment, disable or enable this particular symbol in this particular list.
• It keeps track of the last date you got quote values, and it does that individually for every ticker symbol, so the next time you download, it will fetch quotes starting after that date. So if a particular symbol lags, StockXloader will pick up where it was left last time. You can also see in your ticker list the last date, individually for each symbol. For snapshots, you can even see the last trading time for the given price data, displayed according to your time zone and in your language's format. This gives you full control over the process, so you can easily see if some ticker symbols lag (older data than other symbols).

And best of all: You can try out a full and completely uncrippled version of StockXloader for evaluation up to 60 days — completely free of charge! Try before you buy!

Purchase StockXloader — Pricing

The full price for new customers is €59 — it is not more than what the commission would be for a few trades! Compare that with some of the annual subscription services on offer — and some of them do not even work with Mac OS!

Upgrade pricing is €39 for existing customers of StockXloader 3.

Free updates: StockXloader 3 received no less than 23 completely free updates since its first release in 2004! StockXloader 4 will most likely also see a number of free updates, not just bug fixes, but also feature enhancements. You don't have to pay for yearly upgrades, which is becoming so common these days for software from many companies. It's a one-time fee.

Discounts: BragIt can offer discounts to students or special user groups. See discounts.

System Requirements

• Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), or 10.7.x (Lion), or 10.8.x (Mountain Lion). A 64-bit processor, which means Intel Core 2 Duo or later, which means a Mac computer from late 2006 or later.
• All text, icons and toolbar images are optimized for Retina screens, but work well on regular screens.

ProTA or Excel or iWork?

Although StockXloader is primarily designed for use with ProTA, you can choose in Preferences to open the downloaded (and properly processed) quotes in MS Excel or iWork Numbers, or even Text Edit (TextEdit is provided as a last resort to test the software if you do not have any of the other programs, or if you need to copy/paste from TextEdit into some other program).

If you want to try out the combination of ProTA and StockXloader before you consider any purchase, you can do that. First, download and install ProTA (http://beesoft.net); it will run in Trial Mode without a license key, then download and install StockXloader. Run StockXloader, which will work with ProTA up until the control is handed over to ProTA; when ProTA is supposed to create new ticker files, it won't do that of course, since that is precisely the limitation of ProTA when it is in Trial Mode, but it will nevertheless clearly show how these programs operate in your environment.

For users of ProTA or ProTA Gold, we recommend you to update to version 3.24 of ProTA (Gold), which makes it compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8. (The Edit menu and its commands now work as they should.)
