The attachment includes the java source and the jar file for SpyderFilter v 1.0. It is a Java command line utility which means you have to go to Start menu ->Run and type cmd to get a command prompt. For XP command prompt, there is a Mark/Paste option under edit menu
if you click the tiny C:\ icon at your upper left hand side of the command prompt. You might want to use it to cut and paste stock list.


1) You need to install Java Runtime Environment if you don't already have it:

http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

2) To run the Java jar file:

java -jar SpyderFilter.jar

I just want something to work. I did not really streamline the code so it would go out to the web multiple times to fetch the data. That's why it is a little slow.

3) Enter the stock symbols either on the same line or separate lines. Doesn't matter. BUT YOU HAVE TO HIT ENTER AGAIN TO TERMINATE THE INPUTS!!!

Here is a sample run output:

C:\>java -jar SpyderFilter.jar

SpyderFilter version 1.0 by martys (c) 2005

Enter Symbols [empty line to terminate input]:
ibm

Stock data:
1) ibm float=1569700000 EPS=0.94 avgVol=5607480 failed
2) kndl float=11200000 EPS=0.24 avgVol=259700 PASSED
3) ford float=6800000 EPS=0.33 avgVol=747627 PASSED

The zip file contains 2 files. SpyderFilter.java is the Java source code and SpyderFilter.jar contains executable bytecodes.

SpyderFilter is a fundamental data filter that uses the stock float and EPS information from clearstation.com and Avg Vol (3m) information from Yahoo.com. It relies on certain landmarks on the web page to strip the information properly. So if the sites changes the page format, they can break the program in which case it would display negative numbers for avg vol and float etc.

This should automate the eye-ball step for the fundamental data. Let me know if you have any question or having problem to run the Java command line utility.

Good trading,
William

P.S. stopped out on FORD. Don't like the way it whipsaws me. :(

My pleasure. Thanks for all your stuff!
 
FORD had a nice runup today after DU BO in the morning. Eventually it reversed going negative for the day. Sold at $25.39 for an 80c loss after being up 90c.

Sold GMXR as it didn't reach FRV by EOD.
 
I kept the rest but I am usually wrong :) . Had my stops in. I figure the Price/Volume are still up and paid my broker enough for the day.
 
I fix the code to handle decimal average volume (on BBSI). The new attachment is up. Sorry about that. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Remember to hit Enter again to give it an empty line signaling the end of inputs!

martys,

I know next to nothing about .jar files.

When I go through the command C:>java -spyderfilter.jar,

I get this error:

"JAR" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Thanks for writing this as I see how it will save time.
