Access to Free Delayed and Real-Time Stock Quotes
WinStock offers access to quotes through more than fifteen different stock servers, including NETworth, Security APL, CNNfn, PC Quote, Pathfinder, StockCenter, InvestorsEdge, Lombard Brockerage, Yahoo, and Data Broadcasting Corporation.
Newer releases not only add support for fee-based real-time quotes but also provide access to two free real-time quote servers, Thomson RTQ and E*Trade. For other real-time servers like Datek and PC Quote you'll still need to pay a subscription fee before being able to get real-time quotes through WinStock.
Information provided by WinStock for each stock includes current trading value, daily and yearly high/low values, volume traded, percent changed, number of shares traded, bid and asked prices, and investment descriptions. In addition, WinStock offers you the ability to list those pieces of information that are most important to you and to discard information that you don't currently need.
