But if you open your portfoilio via http://www.finance.yahoo.com then it will refresh automatically, but here it is delayed by 20 minutes.
You already have a broker, and are simply looking for good market advise, and are willing to pay for it, right?
I've used TradeStalker for awhile, but it's strictly for stock index futures or ETF's on margin (leverage). He's very good, and will teach you a lot of good stuff. He charges $100/mo.
Here are several:

I was just wondering, what are the differences between city investors and private investors?
Do city investors get important news first or something because I don't see the point of going to the city every single day when you can just do everything real time from the click of a button…
And one other question… Do you need to trade shares with someone or can you just buy/sell them whenever because someone told me its sold back to the market i'm just unsure.
Thank you for reading. I'm looking forward to your answers.
As for share trading, stock trades are facilitated by your broker. Specialists on the stock exchange match up buyers and sellers. This pool of buyers and sellers is "the market". So when you sell, you are selling to a person or institution (bank, pension fund, etc.).
Is this good?
Am I getting lucky?
How can I improve my profits?
Or cut my losses?
Should I diversify more?
How can I improve?

The challenge is that these trades may not have been executed because only a live market can determine the price.
Next, you have to add up how big is this portfolio? Do you have these assets, and then there is the question of margin.
I did this for a number of years before trading a single dollar. It helped, but there is a big difference to paper and real money, and real time.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Find the articles online that have evaluated and compared online brokerages. I found a good one online in Barron's, but you'll find others in the trading magazines.
This is worth putting a little time and effort into, because it's a pain to switch, so once you choose, you're kinda stuck with it.
Townsend Electronics, the Parent company of TerraNova, is the one that digitized and electronified the Nasdaq. They are technological industry leaders and have a powerful and well built trading system.
I use RealTick at TerraNovaOnline, but it costs $275/mo. I think the Investor package is free to use, and just uses one screen.
What you should try is a free trial of their Investor demo. Their rates are good also, but of course, it depends on how often you trade. It will take you months to learn all the bells and whistles of what this program can do.
The other top-of-the line program is TradeStation, but it costs big bucks to join and operate. Some people consider it the Cadillac of trading and technical analysis.
TerraNova is the home of the Day Trader, so they think nothing of you making several hundred trades a day. You don't have to do that, but it's okay here if you do.
