StockXloader 3.4.5

Compatible with Snow Leopard!

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

StockXloader is a Mac OS X application for fully automated downloading of stock market quotes and indexes to the technical analysis program ProTA or ProTA Gold from BeeSoft (http://beesoft.net) — effectively building an arbitrarily large database of tickers (symbols) containing historical quotes for the open/high/low/close of each day!
It collects quotes from Yahoo! Finance for almost any stock exchange in the world.
The downloaded information is automatically imported into the database of ProTA. In the process, it informs ProTA which tickers are stocks, which are mutual funds, and which are indexes so that any new ticker is put into the right category by ProTA.

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!

Who uses it, and where?

Download StockXloader Now!

It downloads as a "dmg" image file, about 1 MB.
Note: If you only run Classic ProTA, you should start with
the older version StockXloader 3.2

Purchase StockXloader:

The price, €59, 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 many of them do not even work with Mac OS!

Note that share-it! is the reseller of StockXloader, so they will handle all transactions. For payment options, see their customer service at http://ccc.shareit.com/ccc/. They offer several currencies, but their conversion rates usually make it best to pay in Euro.

Don't have ProTA?

If you don't have ProTA, you may want to first try out the combination of ProTA and StockXloader before you consider any purchase. Yes, 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.

Historical relation

StockXloader is a successor of Börsladdaren, which was first officially released in November 2001 as version 1.5, and its last version was 2.1.2 in April 2004. To indicate the historical relation to Börsladdaren, the first official version of StockXloader was given the release number 3.0.

What's in the name 'StockXloader'?

The 'X' in 'StockXloader' may either stand for 'exchange' or for 'Mac OS X', or both. The preferred association is: "Stock exchange loader", pronounced "stockexloader".

System Requirements

Mac OS X version 10.4 (Tiger) through 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Tested on Mac OS X up to version 10.6.1, in addition to 10.5.x and 10.4.11. Tested on PowerPC and Intel processors.
In Snow Leopard (10.6) there is a small and fairly harmless glitch: the date steppers often advance 2 units per click. The first click may advance 1 unit, but subsequent clicks often go 2 units. However, if you click really fast and short, it still advances only 1 unit per click. StockXloader is simply being too fast in Snow Leopard! For you, it only means that you might download a bit more data than would be the minimum needed.
Although StockXloader will function also without an installed version of ProTA, it is designed for use with ProTA. The reason StockXloader is made to be able to operate without ProTA is that it makes it possible for you to try out the software before you decide that the combination of ProTA and StockXloader is an excellent choice.
For the actual import of quotes into ProTA to work smoothly, it requires ProTA or ProTA Gold for OS X.
