Personal QuoteSpy 2.0 (PQS2 hereafter) is an updated version of Personal QuoteSpy version 1.6 (PQS1.6 hereafter). It adds many new features that make PQS2 not only function as a free data collection program, but also function as an intuitive analytical tool that tells people what stocks are good to buy or sell and when an action should be taken. The major advantages of PQS2 can be summarized as follows: 1) Cost Saving. There are some powerful software in the market for tracking and analyzing stock changes. However, most of them are monthly fee based. PQS2 is designed for the people who want to save the monthly fees but can still enjoy the most features that those professional programs have. 2) Time and Effort Saving. There are also some free stock data servers on the Internet. However, for each quote, the real- time data, historical data, news,charts, and indexes are not on the same web page. If you want to get them all, you have to click hyperlink-by-hyperlink and view all the web pages. It becomes very time consuming if you want to track a large amount of quotes, update each quote for numerous times per day, and download all the data on your local PC. PQS2 is designed to solve this problem. First, it merges the real-time data with the historical data for each tracked quote and downloads it to your PC. Second, it integrates all the real-time prices, charts, factors, portfolios, news marks, and more on a single screen. Third, all the updates, even for a large amount of quotes, can be done just by a single click or start a timer automatically and periodically to do so for as many times as you want. 3) For Nonprofessionals Making Professional Decisions. PQS2 provides rich analyses, some of them are unique, to support you making a right decision. It has color marks on the symbol and the prices of a stock to signal a buying or selling position of the stock. It has five groups of scalable charts and 15 indexes that are based on the candlestick theory, the momentum theory, and the wave theory. PQS2 also provides an intraday update memo which records the daily history of bid price, ask price, trade size and trading time. All these together are enough to support any nonprofessional to pick up right stocks as well as good opportunities. 4) For Those Who Want to Analyze Stocks with Their Own Ways. Although some software in the market can provide many powerful features, they can hardly allow you to develop your own charts, indexes, and formulas. PQS2 is different. It provides an instant data sheet as a gateway between Internet and your local Excel 97. PQS2 layout can be customized so that you can insert your own spreadsheets in. Even better, PQS2 provides two placeholders for configuring your own procedures to the PQS2 data update process. So, the power of PQS2 can be extended to the limit of your imagination.
