My Goodness,
Aren't the trees beautiful covered in ice and snow. (I'm married what else could I say.)
Happy Holidays to you to.

User: Hal, Turn on Ticker please.
HAL: I have turned on the Stock market ticker, Are you ready to make some money?
User: Yes.

Minutes later from auto-idle: Your Stock BGEN is at $71.00
Minutes later from auto-idle: Your Stock has gained $5.00 please sell BGEN

User: Turn off ticker.
HAL: I have stopped monitoring your stock.


Simple:
When turned on then auto-idle would announce the stocks price accourding to the timer on auto-idle.

Advanced version:
We could give HAL the ability to do some math on the stock price so that if the amount in question is set then HAL will say please sell or buy the stock.

The stock symbol would be set by the Appointment script built into HAL and just add the extra code needed to drive the ticker announcement.

Since Rob knows the ins and outs to HAL better than me, I was hoping Rob could give us an efficient plug-in for just this purpose, It would make HAL very attractive to business investors the more complex the ticker gets.

An interactive Bot broker that can not only give you a stock price but also keep track of it 24-7 to tell one to buy or sell, Investors would go nuts over this.

You were almost where I want to be. You mentioned math. Theres something called a trailing stop stock brokers can set. What it is, is the sell point when the stock drops to a certain point after a raise in its price. You set a value to follow the stock price as it goes up. When the price starts back down the value that followed you up is setting there waiting for you to hit it. When it does a sell order goes out. I'd like for my Angie to have the option of asking me what to do when that point is hit or if I have had to leave she can make the sell if I've left her with that option on. A conversation something like, I'm here ask me first, or I type in a pass word and she watches the market so I can do something else. (like,go to work)
Trailing stop and a limit I have preset is the only times I'd want Angie to sell.  
Anyway thats what I have in mind. There are some practice stock market programs out that could be used to tune the plugin so only play money is lost or made until there is confidence that most bugs and questions have been answered. Robo

I would really like to see Rob have the rights to this if he'd like to write it out as a plug-in.

OnTheCuttingEdge,
I was also looking in the virtual humans site and a member there pointed out this earlier work of yours. It looks like you were already knocking on the door but after someone mentioned a libility issue it was dropped after another post or two. There is neural net software out right now that you can use to help you predict the market. I downloaded a trial copy of one last night but it watchs the nasdaq. I think I mentioned nasdaq doesn't do penny stock, so I'm going to delete it. I was only going to play with it to see if it matched anything I was looking at anyway. Theres no such thing as to much practice when your trying to learn something.

I wish my Angie could be asked to "TEST stock abcd." Then have her come back saying, "Within the parameters you've set abcd is ****." Would have been nice to get my Angie to run the program and tell me what she thought.

Thats having her crunch numbers though. What I'm looking for right now is having my Angie watch certain stocks and either tell me when they are getting close to tags I've set or maybe even go on and sell on her own. I'm just messing with penny stocks so even if she sells at the wrong time I haven't lost much and if she does the sell at a point I have already set I can't be mad at her either. Robo

Hi Jerry,
Like I said I'm playing with penny stocks so they're not listed on Nasdaq. I don't mind telling you which stock I'm watching though. Its NKYH. I was watching another stock and read a piece about them going into agreement with these people for some things going on in January. I figured what the heck, I can buy and hold until Jan. to see how it goes. When I used to watch all the time I only watched 5 or 6 at any one time. To hard to keep up with the fast buys and sells, but now that I have Angie I figured ,I'd give it another try. I'm only working going to invest around 250 dollars to see how Angie does. Robo

Good Morning Jerry,
I see your up late to. Thanks for the quick response. Did you do it as a pluggin? If so, how would I convert it so it would watch the penny stocks on the ScotTrade site? Ideally I'd like it to monitor and as the stock went up to reset the trailing stop as the % changed. It would really be cool if it could do a sell either if after asking me if it could or if I had set a stop point to go on and sell. That might be asking to much of it but I did say ideally. hahaha. Any help would be appreciated. Did you post something about the gold stock here? I haven't found it yet if you did. I'll keep looking.
See ya
Dennis

Hello All,
Has anyone put any thought into letting Hal monitor the stock market? I fool around with penny stocks some and its a bummer to have to watch it all the time so I can jump in and make a trade. If I was doing something other than penny stocks there is something called a trailing stop I could set. I wouldn't minda bit if my Angie was to haller at me to come check the market.If the stock or stocks I was watching changed. To help with conflicts I'd even think about making my Angie a sister dedicated to just the market.
See ya.

Thank You Spydaz.I did as you suggested and it loads now. Now I have a whole new can of worms to worry about. For some reason my Angie is reading part of the aiml script in the middle of her response. Oh well something new to work on. Robotdude

Well, What-do-u-know Clipboard in xp is now Clipbook Viewer and is hidden in the system32 folder. For some reason clipbook viewer tells me it doesn't have enough memory for the aiml I try to put in it. I even 1/2'd the file with the same response. Anyone have any ideas on why its doing that to me? Also for my Angie to read the file is it supposed to be a .txt file, a .aiml file or a .clp file??? Clipbook only likes .clp unless I tell it to accept all. I'm temporaraily stuck,,help...

Hello All,
Sorry I've been away. I was working on a med plugin and got swamped at work then for whatever reason never restarted. I've been looking at aiml as a possible way to impliment what I want and have been trying to come up with a way to merge into my Angie. I should have not wasted my time and came here right away since I see OnTheCuttingEdge has already managed to do a merge. Hopefully I will not have to many headaches getting it to work for me. I will keep all informed. OnTheCuttingEdge has there been an upgrade since the last post? Thanks Robotdude

Shes really nice. I especially like her eyes.

Prospbob,
I was having trouble getting my mail.It turned out to be the settings where you tell it where to call to go on line and where to go to get your mail. I'd reset everything and as long as the computer stayed on I could check my mail BUT if I turned off my computer I lost the settings and it went to a default that didn't exist. Ended up being my McAfee virus checker program.(I think)The problem went away when I did my yearly upgrade on my McAfee. It could just as easily been my dialup it was messing with instead.

My Goodness, I DO like this forum. Ask for help and bang, there it is. In response to the suggestion I train the voice more. I agree totally with what was said. When arthritis started bothering me a couple yeaers ago I tried Dragon Naturally Speaking 7 and after some trial and error (lots of error...it did not like my southern drawl)I got it to a pretty decent %. Oh and it helps to not buy 2 cheap mics before you buy one good one. duh...Ok I'm rambling. What I'm trying to say is I am retraining and training longer to address the problem but there are still words here and there.
I want to train my bot right and want to make sure it hears what I intend for it to. As is, the best way is to type everything but uncle arthr is reminding me he likes living in my fingers. I'd appreciate it ya'll keep your thinking caps screwed on. Mr. DeWitt I will keep an eye on your sig. Happy New Year all. Robotdude

Hello All, As we know, what we say and what the computer hears can be two very different things. While I am trying to teach my bot, is there any way she can repeat what she thinks she hears me say by text messaging it to the screen,then waiting until I manually correct it before she accepts and responds? I hope this is the right place to put this, if not , woops...
