Google Finance is a dead product walking: Are there any developers actually working on it at all?

www.tradingview.com

Real-time data via BATS, amazing charts/tooling - all done without Flash. Why one of the brokers hasn't bought them yet is beyond me - so much better than 99% of all trading software put out there by the brokers.

I still use http://finviz.com a ton. They have a decent screener, and the best charts around.

Yeah but no EURO markets

Any recommendations for a better alternative?

We sell a macOS app on the Mac App Store. Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stockfolio-stocks-real-time-....

Free trial version available on our website (website content is in need of updating -- not all features are mentioned on there yet. We're working on a new site)

Yahoo Finance

I just come to say the same. Yahoo Finance is the best alternative for Google Finance.

Just tried it and despite being a little cluttered it's pretty good.

I've always heard great things about Yahoo Finance and I keep the Android app as of recently. They notify me with videos / articles about what's going on in finance which I find handy, it's not too much of it thankfully.

And what strikes me as a finance professional is that I can get live stock prices from the free yahoo finance website, whereas my expensive bloomberg terminal only has 15min delayed stock prices...

Don't say that too loud. Most of the exchanges grant uses of real time quotes for non-finance-professionals only.

If you require it surely you can get it if you pay for that?

Yeah but the base license for the terminal is like £15,000 a year. With that you would expect to get at least what I get for free on yahoo finance.

My team shares a BB, so I can walk over to the machine and get 15min stale prices.

I would never have guessed I would migrate from a google product to a yahoo product. What an odd thing this is.

There are plenty of gaps in what Google do that Yahoo! do or did better (stocks, sports, news, weather, chat, groups etc). It's a shame they focused on competing against exactly where Google were the strongest.

I am not sure which company the they is in your second sentence. I think you mean Yahoo and they do have some good services. I haven just always used google products (remember iGoogle?) I have set up yahoo finance and it is lovely but it is just a (small) pain to jump to another site/app ect.

Quandl is pretty good (https://www.quandl.com/). It is a unique API (and has a web interface as well) to a collection of financial and economics data sets.

Teletrader Public Webstation http://www.teletrader.com

(full disclosure, that’s the company I work for)

That is a nice looking web page!

Is there a webinar for webtraining webtrepreneurs how to use a webstation? ;)

15 min delay on intraday quotes :-/

Is there anything free that doesn't have a 15min delay?

finance.google.com and nasdaq.com

Selecting a nation will change automatically language. That's bad. Especially for Switzerland.

Yep. Same problem here.

Also can't search by company's name if it has an apostrophe.

I'm going to check it out.

As an idea - could you add the ability to import transaction lists (as csv) which have been exported from google finance?

Ok so I have this page up and have a new portfolio - how do I add transactions?

tradingview.com for charts

CNBC charts aren’t too bad. Lots of other crap on the site though.

It's certainly not perfect, but I generally use Morningstar for checking funds and prices.

They still use Flash for some parts (like portfolio x-ray), but it's not the needed for the simpler charts.

Growth of 10K tool on Morningstar is really handy so that you aren't comparing apples to oranges with dividends, splits, etc.

Yahoo! Finance (or whatever they call themselves these days)
