    i would lover i program which bought my stocks for me as i am a very busy person and aren't at home a lot of the time
    so, i think it would be great if the program would:
    1/ login
    2/ buy stocks at 15, if there are none at 15 then, logout, wait a couple of hours and try again
    3/ buy stock everyday, until you turn the program off
    4/ logout once you have bought stocks

    this would need to be virtually freeze proof as if i used it, it would be on my main
    it can (and should) be slow as there is no need to be quick
    it would be insane if anyone could make this and i would be indebted to them for a long time...

    thanks

    I like the idea :)

    What about making it so that it sells the stocks that are over 100% ( or whatever you want ) too ?

    yeah, i was thinking of that as a maybe to put in, but i don't really care about selling too much as i can just sell when i get home at the weekend

    EDIT: WOOT! 1600th post!

    That's true too.

    But that's with all the programs we have ;) An autopricer wouldn't be needed then too. Because we could just price them ourselves.

    Some of us are lazy, so I think it might be a good idea xD

    That would be neat. And yea, I think it should (have an option to) automatically sell the stocks when they reach a certain amount of profit.

    I have always thought this was a silly idea as it really takes less than 3mins to do all that yourself, and then there is no risk of being frozen.

    However, you have the coder award, so why dont you just make the program yourself o_O

    because i wanted to see what other people thought first, plus i am learning languages at the moment which can do this, my current language wouldn't be this in depth and reliable
    plus, what happens if you cannot get on the internet yourself every day?

    I'm pretty experienced with the stock market, so here's some things you might want to throw in...

    -A ranking of the best stocks to buy in stead of others. Meaning, if CHPS and E5 were both at 15, it would buy whichever stock was ranked higher. Check NeoDaq for stock 'grades' and quality.
    -A settable price limit on stocks to buy- some people only like to buy at 15, but I personally buy 15-17, and sometimes 18 or 19.
    -A sell point that can be set and changed for each stock, or all of them. Personally I sell at 60, or about 300% profit.
    -A log of the stock's price drops and rises over the past week/month/year.

    I might add more if I think of some.:)

    Okay - I'm sorry, I 'm new and I'm trying to figure this out but it's slightly complicated to me.. I was wondering where I can go for graphic tips/ art stuff / photoshop?

    Look in the Graphics and Art board, this is off-topic. :)

    I would definitely use this. The only reason I usually log into Neo every day is to either AB or to buy stocks. A lot of the time I'm not at home, so a program that could run on my computer when I'm not around would be even better.

    this could be a good addon to a big program, but i dont see the use of it as a standalone program

    it takes like 30 seconds to buy stocks lmao

    The only trouble is that you'd have to have it running 24/7, otherwise there's no point.

    Actually if someone got ambitious they could make a php site doing this for nf members. Would just be a complex site i could proply make a site like that minus ANY good visuals. This will enable it to be run 24/7

    Is that possible for the site to monitor our ports and sell for us? Or would it just be able to buy everyday?
