Hi Yan Cheng Cheok,

came across Jstock thru google search for "yahoo quotes for charts"...must say basic idea is good. being an active trader myself... i wud like to suggest a few things, if u incorporate them in tha application, though i dont wanna sound prudish, but on terms of practicality...i suggest as follows :-
1. can the yahoo charts be linked to symbols from within appz to open inplace of the charts that currently open up? if yes...can there b a field where v define the value to customise the charts for example http://in.finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=^NSEI&t=1d&l=on&z=l&q=c&p=e13,e34,e233,m200&a=ss,m13-6-5&c=
as u can c on the chart....values have been customised.

2. On yahoo finance site, v can login n create a "portfolio" wherein v can add the tickers of our choice irrespective of xchanges can the same thing b used within the Jstock? i mean if someone was to use jstock there wud b a small window linking yahoo id login & then watever symbols were already added to that IDs portfolio on yahoo finance site...those symbols wud load up on jstock automatically (or via a button press)

3. for login of yahoo id,the chat feature can b tweaked to login to yahoo finance as well as yahoo msngr for chats....

4. intraday quotes can b written to csv/ascii format n linked to metastock/amibroker/fibotrader etc as RealTime data feed??

these r just some of suggestions that r based on practicality of usage. hope i was on right track.

best of luck for ur efforts...
