Clocks &
Timing Utilities
|

Accuset
Shareware |
Clock Utility and synchronization. This
is a great program for those of you that like to keep close tabs on
things. This version can teach itself to adjust your computer's clock
based on the typical lag time after you have run it a few times. You
can display five clocks, so I keep tabs on my local time, Chicago,
New York, Paris and Toyoko. |

TClockEx
Freeware |
(Win95/98/NT) A replacement for the taskbar.
This is an excellent replacement clock utility for your usual taskbar
clock. If set to display military time in the format: ddd, d MMM yyyy
HH:mm:ss (Sun, 7, Feb 1999 15:11:49), it is easy to synch with our
Time Stamp at a glance. Another great feature is Show CPU Usage and
System Memory Load. If you push your computer to the limit, this allows
you to see at a glance when it might be prudent to shut an application
down to avoid a crash. |

| Listpic
(Freeware) |
Check your charts at a glance. All traders have a lot of charts,
but once you save them, how often do you go back to view them?
Excellent viewing utility. Choose a directory that holds some images,
click the create html button, click the view button and you are
done!

You want to print just part of the web page you're viewing. Launch
SnagIt, hit the key combination - Ctrl-Shift P and your mouse pointer
changes to a crosshair. Starting where you want the capture to begin,
right click and hold, then drag to contain the area you want in
your graphic. When you let go of the mouse, your chosen area will
be immediately printed.
A simple and quick way to print out those free charts. Set the
preferences as follows:

of information in a searchable database. Simply drag and drop and
all your ideas, trading tips, and pieces of information you've found
are waiting in your note pad. Once you get used to this utility, you'll
wonder how you ever got along without it. |

PowerDesk
Commercial |
This program is what the Windows Explorer
should have been (you still have Explorer, you'll just never use
it again). Integrated viewer enables you to see the contents (text
and/or graphics) of files without needing to open them (supports 80
file types). Open multiple windows for easy drag and drop of files.
Quickly access your favorite programs with a fully customizable menu
bar. |

Double-Desktop
Freeware |
Want two monitors? This is the
next best thing. Absolutely the best little utility I've seen in a
long time. Clever and simple: instantly doubles the width of your
Windows desktop! Once installed you can drag an application partway
to the right, then switch to the right desktop and finish dragging
it the rest of the way. Now, you can flip back and forth between the
two. Excellent way to double your monitor space. |

FileEx
Shareware |
Do you have a 17" or larger monitor?
Ever notice that you cannot resize the tiny dialog boxes when you
need to open or save a file? File-Ex changes all that when it automatically
enlarges and enhances the File Open and File Save dialogs of nearly
all Windows applications, and the Win95/98 version adds support
for long file names in Windows 3.x applications. It also adds handy
file management functions to the dialogs, plus Recent and Favorite
file/folder lists, and more features designed to save your time

Reminders
Shareware |
Reminders for Windows 95/NT is a small
utility that provides a simple means of creating on-screen reminders
for important events. We use this for our Cycle Turning Points.
Event reminders are triggered when the specified time and date occurs.
Reminders can be created to trigger messages on a daily, weekly, monthly
or annual basis. Reminders can also be used to launch programs at
a scheduled time. Sound files (WAVs) can be assigned to reminder messages
and scheduled program launches to give an audible warning when events
occur. |

ISP knocking you off-line? Now you can
Stay Connected with AOL, NetZero or any other ISP until you
want to log off. No more "limited" unlimited access. |
|

Powermarks
Shareware |
Bookmark utility bar none. I visit
so many web sites, my bookmarks end up taking a considerable amount
of time to keep straight, and then I still can never figure out where
I cleverly thought to put them. This little gem removes the need to
categorize your bookmarks at all. It utilizes a database so you can
find your saved web sites by keywords. Type in the first few letters
of either the site's name, or words that might be associated and a
list of every site matching shows up. Neat and simple. I can't do
without it. |

|
NeoTrace
Shareware |
Ever wonder why you suddenly can't get
to a web site? Try using NeoTrace to find out wherein lies the
trouble: A high-speed graphical traceroute with integrated whois and
ping. It is extremely fast, simple to use and returns a wealth of
information. Excellent for detecting network problems and finding
net information, it is also a great tool for spam hunters. |

|
Copernic
99
Freeware and
Shareware versions |
Internet Search Utility. Forget
one search engine at a time, this powerful program will search the
entire Internet, or you can request certain areas to be searched.
It then presents you with a list of those sites matching the criteria.
Simultaneously search sites such as AltaVista and Yahoo, so you don't
have to go from one search engine to another. Best of all, your results
are saved, so you can go back and refer to a search again. |

Sam
Spade
Freeware |
Great Internet utility with multiple features
including ping, trace route, e-mail header analysis (stop those spammers),
website search (search an entire website for a specific word), and
much more. Use trace route when a site is not responding. If no computer
is reachable, it may be your ISP connection has been disconnected,
so try shutting down your connection and then reconnecting. (Do this
even if the on-line status indicates you are on-line, it doesn't always
tell the truth). Excellent utility we use every day. |

Shareware/ Freeware
What's the Difference?
 Freeware is free,
you never need pay the developer for use of the software. Shareware is
not free, but is usually very inexpensive ($5 on up). You may use shareware
for as long as the program developer indicated when you installed the
program (usually 30 days), and after that period of time you are expected
to either register and pay or discontinue using the software.
Some shareware will become disabled after the trial period, but most
programs will continue to work but will display nag screens (nagging you
to register). We cannot provide support for these utilities but can help
with downloading and/or installation questions if you are not familiar
with the process. Additionally all of the web sites indicated have much
more detail on the programs mentioned above.
