Looks like a basic HTML site someone did during a lunch break in 1991

You can drop a chart on a pane as you do with an indicator. Go to a new work sheet an then File>New Blank Pane. On that blank pane drag a new price chart. If you want candles on one chart and line on another chart you need to create a new price formula to drag to the new pane. Here is one I use...

The stock market timing model shown below is a free service from MTR Investors Group. The model correlates closely to MidCap 400 stocks but can also be used as an overall market timing model. View more details on the model here. Model Statistics

I forgot all about the Yahoo! CSV format. Take a look at the URL below. It is a translation for all the Yahoo! CSV parameters including a way to obtain fundamental data. http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm

I revised the last post. The calc was looking forward for signals but should have looked back.

Never seen that product, but.... check out AMIBroker. It has all the features and costs under $200 plus it is well supported and has a great Yahoo! user group.

Songcon, Overall it performed "not too bad" some improvements may be to add triggers on Moving Averages, or only BUY when oversold and only SELL when overbought. See the chart, stats, and formula below.

Based on your reply the logic will be... (based on your charts it appears you are using Slow vs. Fast Stochastics) BUY = Stoc Cross (%K Crosses the %D) AND (MACD Cross same day, or +1, +2, +3) SELL= Would be the revrese of the BUY logic. Additional Rules Stop Loss: 5% Trailing Stop: 5%...

jammixmaster, you may want to consider that if the tool is as simple as your are thinking, that everyone would be using it an making a fortune. You may have to buckle down and work at it a bit by typing some of the rules, or using a wizard tool. AMIBroker has a "Wizard" feature that steps you...

The semtantics "input vs. coding" well that depends. A end user or non-programmer may use a WIZARD to that accepts "input" to build the rules, where the Programmer goes right to the code and Codes the rules since the programmer does not need a Wizard to do the work to "create the code" for the...

jammixmaster, I have used many back-testing programs and always return to AMIBroker. I have found it to be the best (in my opinion) to write and back test any kind of strategy. The best thing too is the price and you can download stock data for free. Many other software packages that claim to...

songcon, I will run the back-test. It is not so much as how AMIBroker performed, but a mechanical system based on the criteria. Regarding your example what do you want to test? MACD Crossover for the life of stock? Stochastic BUY signal ....then if MACD fires 3 days after that GO LONG (reverse...

With BigCharts you can plot any indicator, I agree, but you cannot perform a back-test and that is where AMIBroker comes into play. Using MACD to confirm a trend is a good idea, but code that into a system and then lets see how it worked over historical data. Did it really perform well? Only a...

There were some good trades on this post. MACD Cross Over, RSI breaking 50... All this looks good but when you back test any of this over the long haul it shows that automated (non discretionary) trades on these factors does not produce long term profits. Here are some back-tested results on...

I own a BB and loved. Never traded the shares though. I have a friend in Canada and she is big on trading options on RIMM. See the link below. http://www.fullyinformed.com/Non-RRSP-Canada/RIMM-10-20-30_rule.htm
