Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

In theory, Stockona should remember that last portfolio you selected in the portfolio view. You do have to *click* the portfolio, literally, in order for the app to recognize your selection.

Try selecting the 2nd one in portfolio view and re-starting the app. If it still opens the first one upon restart, let me know I will debug it.

Thanks for your purchase!

Hi!

Thanks for your quick reply! Actually, I already tried to select the 2nd portfolio and to restart the program, but it always shows the first portfolio by default :-( Maybe you could check if on your device stockona behaves the same way, that would be great.

Thanks in advance for your efforts!

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Quick update: this is a bug and has been fixed in 0.6.1, which is under QA now.

That's good news!
Btw, I have a question relating to version 0.6.0: Now, in the default view, there is a magnifying glass in the bottom left corner. In a former version at the same place there was a button to switch from a more detailed view of the portfolio to a less detailed view. Now I'm wondering how to switch to the less detailed view of the portfolio in version 0.6.1. Any advice?

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Go to Settings, scroll down to 'Default position view' for switching views.

Do you have any preference about the UI, whether you like having a search shortcut as it is in 0.6.x, or having the view toggle before as before? I changed it because I found mostly use widget view, and also because there were times I found I wanted to quickly glance/add a company/symbol. I would like to know what other users usage patterns are like.

To be honest, I preferred the old functionality since I switch between the more detailed and less detailed view very frequently. Maybe it would be possible to customize the function if this button in the settings menu?

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Sure, I will implement this in the future.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

FYI 0.6.3 should address the bug and preference suggestion reported by fredson and meegofan. The update is already available for the free version. The paid version was delayed due to a QA issue but it should be available soon.

Thanks for your feedback, and I especially want to thank fresdon for helping with German translation. If you want to see Stockona in your own language, please contact me.

I think this is the last revision for this year, so early happy new year!

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Rev 0.6.5 is available for testing! (The binary is the free version with ads)

Backend enhancements were made to reduce resource usage, so I would like to see if I break portfolio creation/editing, etc. Please test portfolio/position/transaction editing on the beta version.

The other change is users can press-and-hold in position view to invoke headers to show symbols' full names. Press-and-hold again to disable headers.

Lastly, not a new feature but an easily ignored one. Do you know you can swipe from left to right to go back to previous page in most of the views in Stockona? Sounds familiar? Yes, exactly like Jolla Sailfish!

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Hey guys,

I have a new feature request:
It would be awesome if the stocks of the portfolios could be sorted not only by their name but also by their daily gains or losses. So the most attractive stocks could be identified very easily and quickly!

What do you think about this feature?

Hey,

when I try to update to 0.6.3 I get the error "download failed". Any advice?

Hey guys,

I have another feature request: In the current version if stockona, one can check the absolute gain of a portfolio by simply pulling the portfolio view down. Then a blue bar appears at the top, showing the accumulated absolute gain of all stock posititions in respect to the purchase price. I love that feature, however I would also like to now what the relative gain of my portfolio is. This function should be easy to implement. One simply has to calculate the weighted average relative gain of all stock positions. Would be awesome to see this feature in a future release :-)

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

I just installed 0.6.5. It works fine so far. :)
One thing, which seems a bit strange to me. If you add a new position you will have one transaction shown (0 shares @ 0 price). If you delete this transaction, your position will be deleted also. I'm not sure, if it is supposed to work this way.
And btw. the issue is still present, that you HAVE TO insert dots in fractional numbers, which is not possible using german keyboard layout (there is a comma only). ;)

This is a great feature! Thank you so much.

As suggested by meegofan I would also like to see relative gain in the mentioned blue bar.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

I always want to have sorting, but I haven't figured out the details on how to do it. Technically, I need to first move list population to C++ for more flexible list manipulation and easier porting to other platforms. I will keep the request on my mind and keep getting closer to it, but for the next few months I will be busy welcoming my new family member :).

I am pretty sure that is a Nokia Store issue...

By 'relative gain', do you mean relative to last closing price, i.e. daily gain?

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

This is a feature not a bug :)

I will keep this in mind and have a look. I thought I've addressed it but apparently not :)

Hi!

With relative gain I mean the gain relative to the purchase price (the absolute gain shown in the blue bar is also related to the purchase price).

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

I still am not entirely sure what you want.
The absolute gain is calculated like this:
Can you tell me how to derive the relative gain you have in mind?

Hi!

The relative gain of the portfolio is

gain_rel = ( sum( market value per symbol ) / sum ( cost per symbol ) - 1 ) * 100

where "cost per symbol" relates to the purchase price.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

hmmm, maybe I got it wrong, but shouldn't it be more like this:
best regards

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Hi Fredson,

I enabled German keyboard but when I clicked on price/comission fields, the numeric keyboard came out so I am not sure what you mean. Can you take a screenshot?

Btw, I did not changed the language of my device, just the input method.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Sure, here you are. As you can see, there is only a comma shown on my keyboard. :)

Hi!

Actually, both of the formulas lead to the same result. Just go for the one which is easier to implement :-)

Regards

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Beta build 0.6.6 is available for testing.

Changelog
- Automatically convert comma to stop for share/cost/comm fields in edit sheets.
- Add gain percentage in pull-down portfolio performance banner.
- Backend improvement to fix wrong fractional numbers when accumulating portfolio performance data.
- Partially fix local portfolio performance data unavailable in pull-down banner at app start up when google login is enabled. Now the performance data are populated after update timer is triggered or after user manually refreshes the quote data.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Stockona has always been open-sourced but I never bother to publish the (ugly) codes until now....

Stockona source codes:
https://github.com/sony123/stockona

The source codes are up-to-date but one thing not included is the encryption key variable. You can easily define and include into the source code.
Let me know if there are missing files, and collaboration is more than welcomed!

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

For those of you thinking about switching to BlackBerry 10... Stockona will be available on BB10 as well! (It will be the symbian version modified to work on BB10, though.)

Hi! I just saw, that there is a new version 7.0 available. Great to see, that this useful piece of software still gets updates! Are there any major changes on the new version?

Three changes if I recall correctly. Had to remove google portfolio since google finance API stops working. As a result, add export to csv file option. Finally, a bug fix for manually refreshing quote data in detail view.

Stockona has recently been published into Blackberry World for BB10 platform. One request I got there was to use candlestick chart instead of line one. What do you guys think? Should I do that for Harmattan as well?

Absolutely! Please do go with candlestick.

And is there a way to improve Forex capabilities? Thanks!

Ok will do in next release.
Forex... Google finance doesn't suppprt that so not available in the app. I am not familiar with forex.. but if all you need is to track currency exchange rate, you can do so by adding symbol name, e.g. USDTWD and put all-capital CURRENCY in the exchange field.

(There is dark magic that can expose forex through Yahoo Finance... but it's so dark it creates user confusion and was buried long time ago :p)

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

An update on the project... recently I spend most time working on BB10 version and got many nice suggestions there. Some of the new features will trickle down to Harmattan, but with limited resource I decided it is time to drop the free version so I can spend more time on implementation than packaging and publishing.

So future update will only be available in paid version, I hope you all can understand....

Current bugs I am aware of are: TSX chart not displayed and exchange not correctly imported from csv files.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Revision 0.7.9 is under QA now. The update is only available only for paid version as communicated earlier. The relatively big version jump is mainly a result of revision for BB10 but this release does bring one new feature (Trend) and several bug fixes.

Changelog:
* Fix fullname section header invisible in dark theme.
* Fix portfolio import exchange field not correctly loaded issue.
* Fix chart for TSE.
* Add trend (top movers/losers) in Market Overview.
* Add fullscreen chart.
* Add "View in Google Finance" option in detail menu. Not too useful for Harmattan, though...

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Good news! I finally figured out how to do incremental search so this is a feature users can expect in the next release.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Testing water with Sailfish Silica UI. Very impressed with the detail-to-attention, it is very well thought out.

The only downside is Stockona UI needs a complete rewrite :( but if the device is as lovable as N9 I will probably dive into the ocean again :)

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

A new update, 0.8.3, is under Nokia QA. The free version has been un-published by the way, so this update only goes to Stockona+.

I lost track of the changes compared with the last version :p
But some highlights are:
1. New search symbol UI (the one invoked when you click the magnifying glass in portfolio view) with one-click to save a symbols. Also features search-as-you-type suggestions.
2. Market Overview has been overhauled for ease of use, also added trend(top gainer/loser) info.
3. Various UI tweaks.

Enjoy!

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Survey time, does anyone ever experience sudden disappearance of portfolio(s)?

I have seen this once or twice on my N9 but didn't pay enough attention to it. Now thatat least one BB10 user has experienced this issue, I figure maybe I need to investigate further.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Still surveying, if any user encounter this issue let me know.

On the other hand, a bug was found in portfolio deletion. The deleted portfolio name can overwrite the name of the preceding portfolio. This has been fixed in the next revision, 0.8.5. The release is currently under my lousy QA :p and will be published to Nokia Store soon.

As always, thanks for supporting Stockona. After pushing 0.8.5 to all three platforms I plan to spend my time on Sailfish version.... one or two months have passed and the only thing I have done is the Settings page :p

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Using N9 again,, I had your app and updated it, but not able to get my Google portfolio anymore nor can i have the lighter interface..
Please any suggestion on what's wrong and steps on how to get it functional again.
Thanks!

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

Google portfolio support was dropped a while ago since the API no longer worked (at least for me). Now the portfolios are stored on your device. To load your Google portfolio, you export them as .csv files on Google Finance website, put the files under MyDocs and import the portfolios through 'Import Portfolio' option under the 'Portfolio' page. Let me know if this works for you.

For the lighter interface, you mean the light theme (grey/blue) right? I removed the option because at some point the UI tweaks for dark theme didn't go well with light theme.

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client
 

First of all thank you for the response..
But that's way to technical for me as I don't know what .CSV file is and how to export them etc...
Steps on how to would be appreciated please!
