MarketWatcher, C#/.NET open source real-time portfolio value


About


I like to follow my investment while working, in a non-intrusive and simple way, so I write this tray tool that basically shows your portfolio profits when mouse is moved on, and turns green when portfolio is in positive situation and red else.
Stock quotes are taken from yahoo finance, so there is a delay up to 30mn, quotes are refresh every 30s
Portfolio content is configured through XML file.

Project status


This project is working fine.
For "user-friendliness" XML configuration should be move to a graphical one.
Foot print is huge for such ridiculously simple program(14MB), which is entirely .NET faults. C/C++ native version may come some days.
