Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Nice...Though I don't have stocks...If I did. I would use this!
Thanks for taking the time to code this!

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Great app. Unfortunately it closes down while starting.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

It closes down while starting for me too :(

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Can you please do me a favor and run the following command in Xterminal?

Please let me know the output.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Yep, give me a minute :)

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

I have a feeling that it has to do with the QtNetwork module. If you are missing that, you can install it through apt-get for now:

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

This is the output

raceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/maemoney/MaeMoney.py", line 6, in <module>

ImportError: No module named gdata.finance.service

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Thanks gkosters. Please do an "apt-get install python-gdata". It should resolve the issue. I'll have another build very soon which will have the dependency fixed.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

I have a slightly stupid question :)
How can I copy an X Terminal output to here?
Thanks :P

P.S. It's working now, after the apt-get install python-gdata

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

top menu bar

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Easiest way is to SSH to the N900 from your PC then you can copy the content from your SSH client.
Are you seeing something related to "gdata" or "QtNetwork"?

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

apt-get install python-gdata did the trick!
Your app is working now!
Thanks a lot! :) Great app

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Nice app, though I don't monitor/trade stocks enough to use it regularly. Thanks for making it though! :)

For those that thought this may be a money management client (like Quicken) there are two that work well for the N900. HomeBank is one and MoneyDance is another.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

After installing gdata everything works great. Thanks!

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

The dependency issues have been fixed. The latest version in Extras-Testing now references python-gdata and python2.5-qt4-network.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Can you make it an option to do landscape also? In the next update you release.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Absolutely!

I actually did it in landscape in the beginning and it wasn't until a few days ago when I switched it to portrait - since everyone has been so enthusiastic about anything that has to do with portrait mode. :)

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Thanks! You are a lifesaver. I use my phone mostly in landscape.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Thanks for making this app. I use stocks its my life and will use this

Can you also make an extension app which will have interactive charts of stocks
Where you can just roll your fingers along the chart and it will show the daily prices, where you can add 20 day moving avg, MACD and RSI indicators

Thanks

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

HUGE thanks for this app! This one is great and gets even better when you add landscape mode!:)

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

hey cheungs!
i have a small suggestion for your great app, do you think it could be possible to have the daily volumes for each stock? it really would be a great thing!!!!
thanks for reading my suggestion! :)

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

I've thought about it before but just found Qt's charting capability quite lacking. It's definitely something I want to implement down the road though but it's going to take time.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Should be available in a day or two. Will keep you posted.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Yea sure, it shouldn't be a problem to add daily volume.
Btw, did anyone notice that the PE ratio is 99.99 for every stock? :o
It'll be fixed in the next version.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Good work on the app :)

Do we have something similar for currencies?

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

If you can add it to your Google Finance portfolio, then it is supported.
For currencies, they are a bit tricky because you can view something like "Australian Dollar (AUD) in British Pound Sterling (GBP)" on the Google Finance website but it can't be added to your portfolio.
The closest thing that I found is something like XDA which tracks the Australian Dollar but traded like an option.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

great app! in the future, please add portfolio positions(entry price, #of shares) to track gains and losses. these should be supported and would like to see integrated. thanks so much.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

This sounds like a great app. Very useful of course.

I have a portfolio in Yahoo Finance and wonder how much of a stretch it is to support that too. I'll look into Google finance too but just wondering.

Great work.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

I do plan on supporting most of the parameters in the Google Finance API reference guide. Can't promise any timetable yet but they'll be there. :)

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

At the moment this app will focus on supporting the Google Finance API.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

MaeMoney version 0.2 is now available in Extras Testing. Here are the major changes since v0.1:

• Corrected PE ratio
• Added daily volume, average volume and stock quote delay
• Supports both portrait and landscape mode
• Can choose update interval
• Double click to open Google Finance webpage

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Quick Question,
When I run the app, it seems to log in to my google account, loads my various portfolios (10+) then does nothing further...just a black screen with a maemoney header. (header contains change change switch and change buttons)

If I run the python command from ssh, I see this:
Cannot load en_US locale from /opt/maemoney

any ideas?
thanks...looking forward to trying your app out!
regards
Jim

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

I just added couple portfolios into my account so I have 12 now. They were all loaded properly. I wonder maybe there's some special characters in your portfolio titles? (I have &, ', and " in my portfolio titles.)

You can ignore this message. It just means that I don't have a specific localization file for US English.

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Hi,
I have 11 Portfolio's, no special characters at all, average of 25 stocks in each one, except one called ex has 70 or 80 in it.
I see no other errors, htop shows 12.3 percent mem usage once everthing is loaded and cpu is low..(idling)
appreciate the help! :-)
oh, I do notice one thing, no matter which update interval I select, the screen always says Update not running...
Attachment 11642
regards
Jim
*update, Quick followup, I trimmed my portfolio down to about 80 stocks in 2 portfolio's and it works now... Nice app!! Thank you for supporting the N900!

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Are you using v0.3 or v0.2?

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

0.2-1 I don't see 0.3 in the repositories...

Re: [Announce] MaeMoney
 

Version 0.3 should be available from Extras-Testing and Extras-Devel. After updating the repository, you should see it.
