This gives you a symbol's last open/high/low/close prices, trade volume, and the last trade date. The word "rate" can be shortened to just "r". For example, pkf r pef ptc returns
ptc o 44.00 h 46.20 l 44.30 c 46.20 v 7.98m last 01Jun06
In the volume field, 'k' refers to thousands and 'm' for millions of shares. Please note that asking for three symbols may lead to truncated SMS messages.
pkf kse or pkf lse
This returns the KSE-100 or LSE-25 index statistics. For example, pkf kse returns
The figures after "adu" describe the number of advancing issues, declining issues, and unchanged issues, respectively.
pkf 5g or pkf 5l
These will give you the top five gainers and losers, ordered by their share price rise/drop. pkf 5l outputs
The price in the parenthesis represents the change from the opening price.
