                     TRADER CLOCK - Unregistered

Most stock market information systems report times and sales, 
news stories and countless other events in New York military 
time.  If you want to know how long ago an event happened, you 
have to subtract or add by your time zone difference (assuming
you don't live in the New York time zone) and then convert that to 
military time.  I got tired of doing all that math while I
was trying to concentrate on the market.  That's why I wrote
Trader Clock.  It had to be small, because most market information
systems require lots of screen real estate and it had to sip system
resources, because most market information systems suck down those
system resources.

---- Trader Clock offers the following benefits:

Small size - Easily fits in a title bar or beneath icons in the 
lower left portion of the screen.

Sips system resources - uses only 3% of system resources (the 
unregistered version can use 5%) and polls your CPU for the time only
once every five seconds.  This lets your CPU concentrate on more
important things like getting your security prices as fast as possible.

Can't get lost beneath other windows, it's always on top.

Easy access to system resources through the about box.

Remembers where you last left it on your screen.  When you exit 
Trader Clock or Windows, it writes its window position to
TDRCLOCK.INI which is always in your Windows Directory.

Sounds alarm 5 minutes before the market opening (3 beeps)
and at the opening (1 beep).  It does the same thing 5 minutes
before the close and at the close.

Is a great little clock even if you don't trade!


---- OPERATION:

Toggle color from yellow to white by double clicking on the 
button.

---- NOTES:

If you decrease your video resolution, you may not be able to
see the clock, depending on where it was on your screen when you changed
resolution.  If this happens, here is how to get it back in view.

in your Windows directory.  Change the TopPos and LeftPos to 1000, save
the file, and restart Trader Clock.
