Dec 06 Wireless Users Stay Connected to Real Time Stock Quotes While On the Go
Found in:Mobile News,

Responding to the ever-increasing number of mobile professionals worldwide, Alpha Trade (APTD), a publicly traded company that provides real time stock quotes has introduced a new wireless product that enables professional, institutional, and individual investors to stay connected to their financial information when they’re on the go. Financial information can now be accessed via such wireless devices as BlackBerry, Nokia, Palm OS, Window CE devices, and Symbian OS (Sony Ericsson).

With more than 30 million mobile professionals roaming the planet, many of whom speak more than one language, AlphaTrade took on the task of creating the world’s first multi-lingual slate of wireless financial applications and analysis tools for those who want to stay connected to their investments.

The new product, called Jupiter, makes an enormous amount of financial and investment data available wirelessly---most of which was previously inaccessible to users on the road or on the go. Everything from streaming real time stock quotes, streaming portfolios totaling 600 symbols, investments, and high resolution stock charts to symbol-sensitive real-time news, real-time gain/loss positions in customizable fields, and NASDAQ’s “Total View”, is now accessible in English, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. And Jupiter’s multilingual capability allows for quick language change on-the-fly - users can switch their entire portfolios from one language to another in the matter of seconds with one click.

Jupiter is the only wireless provider of NASDAQ’s “TotalView” product. TotalView shows users every single quote and order at every price level in the NASDAQ Market Center, plus all displayed orders at every price level for each NASDAQ-listed security.

“As TotalView has emerged as the standard NASDAQ data feed for serious traders, demand has broadened,” commented NASDAQ’s Senior Vice President William O’Brien. “AlphaTrade’s multi-lingual, multi-device approach ensures customers can receive TotalView data where they need it, how they need it.”

AlphaTrade, which is ranked number 330 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America), has a subscriber base from more than 40 different countries and provides real time stock quotes along with other financial data for both desktops and wireless devices.

Jupiter (the planet) is the biggest planet in our solar system, and though AlphaTrade’s Jupiter is just making its way onto cell phones and PDAs around the globe, the company has expectations that it will be the biggest multi-lingual financial product available for the mobile investor who wants to receive real time stock quotes and other financial information on a wireless device.
