INTRODUCTION
 Abstract
The current social situation is determined by radical transformations in industry, technology and society. These will influence also the pension and revenue system as well as life insurances and will stimulate private investment. But today there is only one of ten citizen in Germany a shareholder, this lag leads to growing rates of up to 30 percent per year for information/ content provider and discount broker. German examples and competitors are Comdirect, Advance Bank, Bank 24, DM-Online, Consors/Teledata JavaTrader, American ones are Eschwab, Datek etc.. Most of them are working in their original markets only.
Our new software package, the JavaQuote consists mainly of free realtime charts and ticker systems, but includes extended functions and options as ad hoc (§15 WpHG) messages, financial news, latest market news, hotlines, newsletters, brokerages, economic calendar, earnings and splits calendar, company and fund index, financial glossaries, references and guides, help and service as well. A great improvement of our software is the implemented analysis option and the neuronal network. The software supports different trading systems, ticker symbols, standards and file formats. It is prepared for the global markets and works with multiple currency systems as Euro, Deutsche Mark or Dollar. Therefore all messages and functions are presented on a multilingual interface.
The customer policy, contact and service should be based at toll free services as the 0 130 in Germany or the 1 800 in the US for calling and faxing. Additional information must be offered by chat systems, broker boards, mailboxes, quote ticker... Further signals or alerts as Stop/Loss signals will be send via e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service, SKYPER, SCALL or Voice Mail (David Tobit).
Based on the free information system the application can be used, besides of the obvious marketing and promotion effect, to offer extended services or special software/ hardware/ service bundles. Examples are Alert SMS based on Stop/Loss Signals, technical or fundamental analysis, indicators or personal decisions with a monthly subscription fee. The same for SCALL and a Real-Time Datafeed via Videotext/Cybercast with a special Video Graphics Board without telephone charges.
Usability Engineering
The application and its modules will be written in Sun's programming language Java, or even better in '100 % Pure Java'. It consists of standalone applications instead of applets and improves the code safety by running within the Virtual Machine.
The program is determined by modularity and OOP (object oriented programming) to provide easier code modifications and further extension efforts. It is able to adapt on user, situation, connection/connectivity and symbols, or in other words country, language, currency, indexes, tax system and portfolio. One example is the possible determination of the IP address and top level domain ".de" from the client to conclude that he is German, Currency is DM (or ECU), the index is the DAX (German Stock Index) and the symbols have the style of the WKN.
Complexity and Connectivity - zipped or sedimented programs, general/advanced/detailed)
