Getting Started

ProphetStation is your financial browser for up-to-the-minute market information. Using Prophet's custom market data feed and the power of the Internet, you'll enjoy real-time services to quotes, charts, news, and research.

Also, you should have selected delayed or real-time data.

  1. Click this link to download ProphetStation.
  2. When your browser asks whether you want Run or Save the program, choose Run.
  3. Then click OK.
  4. When the Security Warning comes up to verify you really want to run the program, click Yes.

Getting Connected

When you first start ProphetStation, a default portfolio appears which has two stocks - INTC and MSFT - entered into it. When ProphetStation tries to retrieve data for the first time, it will ask you for your username and password.

Enter the username and password you used when you registered at Prophet's web site, and check the "Save Password" checkbox if you don't want to bother entering these each time you use the program.

ProphetStation will receive either real-time or delayed data, depending on your selection on the Free Test Drive page. The time of each trade can be viewed in the column marked Time.

Now you are ready to use ProphetStation. Click here for information on using ProphetStation.
