Hello

I was wondering if anybody knows of the barbones basic script to display information from websites on the chart? This would be similiar to the JT Economic indicator idea, except just barbones. I just want a template so I can use it to build my own indicators and the one mentioned above is just way too involved----like 20 pages of code.

my programming experience is beginner---had 1 year of C++ and a semester of Java.
Now learning C#

I am going to use it to display program trading information that I would get off of websites, do my calculation, and display useful information on my charts to act as a reminder

thanks
Spencer

Something like

 

Code

using System.Net; --- private string ReadWeb(string encq)         {                      string url         = "http://www.yahoo.com.com/h/?q=" + encq;                  try         {             HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);                     webRequest.Timeout = 20000;                     HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();                      Stream responseStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();                     string responseEncoding = webResponse.ContentEncoding.Trim();                      if (responseEncoding.Length == 0)                      responseEncoding="us-ascii";                      StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(responseStream, System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(responseEncoding));                      return(responseReader.ReadToEnd());         }         catch         {             return(string.Empty);         }         }
