QuoTrek to Track Financial Data for BlackBerry
Financial market data provider eSignal, a division of Interactive Data
Corporation, has announced the launch of its QuoTrek 2.0, an update to
the company’s mobile financial service. It will equip
BlackBerry and
other Java-enabled mobile devices to access financial information.
The
QuoTrek 2.0 platform now allows users to view 5 portfolios containing up
to 15 symbols each, 45 more symbols than the prior version, and features
Snap Quote, which provides on-demand pricing information on a scrollable
screen.
The
news window has also been upgraded to include Dow Jones energy and
commodities news and supports key word and symbol searches.
Today,
smart
mobile devices are increasingly being
used for business and commercial applications.
AT&T and mobile commerce
player Firethorn Holdings, a Qualcomm company, are offering
mobile banking application for iPhone.
The Mobile Banking on AT&T application is now available as a free
download from
Apple's App Store on iPhone.
Recently, Dow Jones & Company also introduced its new mobile application,
Dow Jones Sales Triggers for iPhone and
iPod touch. The idea is to give mobile executives access to
up-to-the-minute business intelligence information such as management
moves, mergers, and new investments.
“Investors will quickly find that it is an amazing experience to have
such powerful market information available in the palm of their hands,”
said Chuck Thompson, president of eSignal.
With
the latest update, QuoTrek aims to help meet the needs of the financial
services industry by providing investors with eSignal’s streaming,
real-time quotes on portable devices. QuoTrek provides investors with
streaming charts containing real-time data that can be displayed in
line, bar or candlestick form, as well as access to U.S. and
international stocks, indices, futures, options and FOREX data.
The
company says that QuoTrek 2.0 is currently available for monthly
subscription fees starting at $59. Existing subscribers to other eSignal
products, including LiveCharts, eSignal, eSignal Pro or FutureSource
Workstation, can add QuoTrek to their subscription for free for the
first 30 days and for $35 per month thereafter.
