Add Custom Links to your StockTickr Watchlist
November 7th, 2006In your watchlist within StockTickr, there’s already links to a couple popular sites for stock research: Google Finance and Yahoo! Finance. Those links are formatted so that you go right to the stocks page when you click them.
We’re not going to pretend that we know the best links that you should be using, so we added the ability for you to add your own links to resources that you use for your own trading. You can now customize StockTickr to add two custom links that appear on every stock. Just look for the Custom Link Edit icon on any stock in StockTickr:
Click the icon to go to your StockTickr profile. When you edit your profile, you’ll see two fields for each custom link you can create. The first field is for the text that goes in the beginning of the link all the way to the position that the ticker symbol appears. The second field is for the test that appears after the ticker symbol in your custom link.
For example, I’ve added a custom link to the Investor’s Business Daily’s Stock Checkup page. Here’s the address to the checkup for GOOG:
http://www.investors.com/member/checkup/checkUp.asp?t=goog&ss=YES
So in the Custom Link A Start field, I added “http://www.investors.com/member/checkup/checkUp.asp?t=” and for the Custom Link A End field I added “&ss=YES” (the part after GOOG in the link).
After you’re done, the links will appear when you’re logged into StockTickr on every stock.
