Ensign software will do all of that for you. If you use Ensign then
you are locked into BMI, Esignal, or DTN as data sources. I have
used Ensign for 11 years and have found nothing better on the market.
If you use Ensign windows it is updated almost daily with new features
that are requested by the subscribers. Good luck in your quest, Ira

Waving a Red Flag At the Stock Market
ADAIR LARA Thursday, April 6, 2000
------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
"DO YOU WATCH this all the time now?" said Patrick, who's
home from college for spring break. I had appeared in the
kitchen as he was eating his Honey Crunch, and switched on
CNBC, the stock market channel.
"Huh?" My eyes were glued to the numbers moving across the
bottom of the screen.
My stocks were in free fall. Red numbers mean the stock is
down, and a ribbon of red was bleeding across the screen. A
man in a suit was recommending jogging for those suffering
from market stress. He did not suggest the obvious, which is
to shut off the TV.
Schwab defines an active trader as someone who does eight
trades a year. By that reckoning, I am a frenzied trader.
When I started out in 1994, Garry, my broker at Dean Witter,
used to call me and try to talk me gently into paying at
least some attention to what he was doing with my money. It
took him a year to coax me into not keeping most of my
account in cash, and two years to persuade me to gamble on
individual stocks.
Now I call him to ask him to buy me some stock I've heard of
at a party, and he says, "Listen, why don't you wait ..."
I laugh. What does he know? Like everybody else who has made
a buck in the bull market -- which you can do basically by
throwing darts at a board covered with the names of
companies -- I now think I am very smart. When my doctor
asks why my stockbroker still has to work if he's so good, I
just roll my eyes at that old saw.
MY SISTER ADRIAN is aghast at my blithe stock buys. She
said, "Oh, I should slap you!" when I insisted on buying
more Nokia during the jitters before these jitters, a couple
of weeks ago. She was astounded that I bought something
without even knowing that it was a biotech stock, simply
because my broker had mentioned it in passing.
She dabbles in the market herself, since I badgered her
until she opened her own Schwab account. She and I spend an
hour on the phone every morning, talking about stocks.
Neither of us has any real money to speak of -- I make
pretty good money at this job but have two kids in college,
and she is between jobs -- but what we do have, our box tops
and Green Stamps, is in the market.
The difference is that Adrian is terrified of the market.
She's a Chicken Little, always thinking the sky is about to
fall.
"It can't keep going up!" she tells me -- and the Nasdaq has
indeed been plummeting for a week. I was silently
sympathetic when she confessed that she sold one stock
before it shot up, but this week, of course, she is looking
oh so right about everything.
UNLESS IT WENT up since I filed this column, which is
entirely possible. Just as Adrian always thinks the market
is about to fall, I think it's always about to go up.
Moreover, she is convinced that all investors are like her,
ready to bail at the slightest trembling. I think all
investors are like me, possessed of a boundless, senseless
optimism about the market, just waiting for a
bargain-basement sale like this.
Meanwhile, like so many in this country, we are both
mesmerized. For me, it's a hobby, a way to avoid writing,
and a moonlighting job. Stripped of its outer wrapping -- a
hobby, a kind of part-time job -- playing the stock market
is pure greed, trying to make little piles of money into big
piles of money. I tell myself I can watch the stock market
channel only while doing girls' push-ups on the rug, and
it's the first thing ever to get me to do any exercise at
home.
Patrick is still watching me. This is a side of me he is not
used to from a mom who still has an Alhambra bottle full of
change marked "College Fund." He isn't sure whether to be
worried or impressed.
Then he asks me to buy him some Motorola.
