We apologize for the recent downtime of the Market Monitor gadget. We have initiated a patch fix on the server and it’s now working again. We’ll try to keep it running more consistently from now on.
Let us know if you run into any issues. Thanks.

I like the old one that showed what the market was doing. One who needs to just look up individual stocks will benefit but not the ones who would just like to see the Dow – Nasdaq and S&P.
Hi Jeanne, You should still be able to monitor the indices. You just need to add them to the indices tab. To do this, just click the + sign at the bottom, choose Indices, and enter the index you would like to monitor at the bottom. If you have any problems with this, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Market Monitor V1.5 stopped working again as of 6-Nov-09.
Great app and am glad the server is now back on-line; however, (running Win7 64-bit) in order to see the data on Favorites, when I boot-up, I must go to “C” (view commodities) to load the data (previously selected data), and then to “F” (view favorites). Any fixes for this? Thanks in advance!
Hi Tom Ray, We are not seeing Market Monitor as being down. Are you still having problems or was it a temporary glitch?
As of this morning, 10-Nov-09, it is working again for me. Thanks for your attention to my previous post.
Like Ray I noticed that the viewing window keeps displaying “Loading…” but when I click on the plus to add something the market items appear there with the current values but never are displayed when trying to view them. I’m using it on a couple of different computers with Vista and they are doing the same thing.
Hi Rob, We will have to look into this further. as we are having trouble replicating the problem. Is this happening all the time or is it off and intermittent?
Hi Eric, Thanks for the feedback. What you are describing could be what some others are seeing as well. It seems like some people are having the issues and some are not. We will look into this from the angle you describe and see what we can determine. We will post when we have some answers. Sorry for any inconvenience.
What I am seeing on Windows 7 x64 Professional is:
I only have 3 indexes ($INDU, $NASDAQ, $INX) entered. I typically have Index (I) selected on the MM screen to show these 3 items. On system startup, MM will set there loading indefinitely until I click on F. Then the load completes and things are back to normal. I set it back to I and it runs fine until the next system reboot when I have to repeat the process.
Hi Tom,
Ref Win7 64 Bit – Yes, your experience is the same as mine. If you send me your email address, I’ll send you a screenshot of my MM on my desktop.
Tom, I have to click on C and then F before it completely loads all of the data.
Rob, just send it to support at buildagadget dot com, thanks.
Sounds like this loading issue is emerging as a common issue on Windows 7 x64.
Is “The Staff” able to reproduce it? If not, is there any additonal info that can be supplied to assist in isolating and fixing the problem?
Tom, we’re looking into it, just trying to gather as much info about it right now as we can.
