StockBag Description

The StockBag application was developed to be a desktop utility that allows you to define your stock portfolio / watch-list and view live stock data.I was trying, for some time, to access live stock market data through a desktop utility, and found that we need to pay for getting live stock data. Then, I found that Yahoo! Finance gives a 15 minutes delayed data through its CSV service. Then, I thought of writing my own little gadget to have a portfolio and watch list. Currently, StockBag can be used to get live stock data from the Indian stock market. However, it can be modified to get live stock data from any stock market over the world which Yahoo! Finance supports.The tool uses the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse .NET classes, which, by default, use the IE proxy settings. If you don't have IE installed, and proxy is configured via some other browser, this tool might not work. Also, if you have a firewall installed, you need to give access to StockBag to access the Web. If Yahoo! finance is blocked by your firewall, then this tool will not work.Getting live stock data will be of interest to many to write analysis tools on their own. However, it should be noted that at least for NSE/BSE (Indian stock markets), Yahoo! Finance is giving 15 minutes delayed data.
