If your web browser is capable of viewing applets, Tim should be loading as you read this.
Tim is more or less self-explanatory. First enter your member ID and password in the appropriate boxes, then press "Okay." The section at the top of this page should have three boxes, two buttons, and a checkbox. Enter the name of the stock or bond in the first box. Enter the number to buy or sell in the second box. For a normal transaction, just press buy or sell. Tim can handle purchases larger than the normal limit. If the "slow" box is checked, Tim will only sell 5000 of a given stock every 5 minutes, or 100 of a bond. This reduces the effect you have on the price. The third text box lets you limit the price range. Enter the highest price you'll buy at or the lowest price you'll sell at, then leave Tim in the background. If the price falls into that range, Tim will carry out the transaction.
Tim makes use of the networking capabilites of Java. May browsers will not allow this. You can try adjusting your preferencs to permit networking by applets. I hope to enable all browsers to use Tim by the final version.
