Stockalyze

Whew. Finally relief. I am very happy to see you back.

I have had to resort to manually filtering my stock along with replacing my computer.

Since the change of computers, I have lost the registered copy of Stockalyze. I will gladly purchase another copy if needed.

Welcome back. I have certainly missed you.

I notice that when I use a symbol from the AMEX exchange via Yahoo, there are two symbols that show up. One from AMEX and other from NYSEMKT.

Are they in fact two separate entries in the database?

Which one would be the correct one to use?

Should I delete one of them?

Thanks,
Tony

Sometimes I get tickers from FinViz or other websites and I want to run those tickers through
stockalyze Backtesting, etc.

When a ticker is missing (sometimes the list can be more than five) is it possible to have an option in the popup window listing the missing tickers, to add these tickers then, instead of canceling your operation to add them, then re-start your operation?

Presently I have a screen capture utility to capture the tickers so that I remember which ones they were.

Your thoughts.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Sacha. I hope all is well with you.

I have some small annoyances that I hope you can remedy while you address more important issues.

Charts:
When displaying a chart I must click it to make it the active window in order to scroll to my indicators.

When changing the time span in a chart, sometimes the info boxes on the left do not appear, when you change back and forth they will finally appear.

When changing time from 2 year to 3 months, the 3 month display isn't the current timeframe, in my test, it shows timeframe of 5/18/2001-8/16/2001 after viewing a 2YR chart and switching back to 3M. Can you default it to current timeframe on the right side of the chart?

Reports:
The report generated by "Scan Ideas", can you re-draw the shading when you re-sort the list? Now, The shading "follows" the item, so they become bunched up. Sometimes I sort by Signal, and othertimes I sort by Last Price depending on my objective.

When you display a chart of an ticker, you lose the highlight on the report. Can you keep the row highlighted so you don't lost track of what you just viewed when viewing the chart and going back to the report?

I know these are very minor, but I just want you to know how "we" use your program, and what can be done to improve it.

Love all the recent changes you've made. Thank you for all your hard work.

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Sacha.
I notice that when I sort the portfolios, the chart display doesn't change.
I hope I can explain clearly.

If I display a portfolio then select a line within the portfolio, the chart changes.
But then sort on a different column, the chart doesn't change and the highlight bar doesn't de-select in it's line position, and you can't display the chart on whatever the new line item is under the selection, until you select a different line then go back.

It looks like the highlight needs to follow the item when re-sorting instead of staying stationary on the re-sort.

To me it's not a terrible thing since the work around is to select another item then go back.

Thanks,
Tony

I entered UBER as a new security.
I have a default chart template setup to include the MACD indicator along with other indicators and zones.
I get an exception error when I try to chart the UBER ticker. I have to "abort" to close Stockalyze.
If I remove all indicators and zones, it displays the chart (Price, Volume)
I then tried to add the indicators, one at a time. When I enter the MACD indicator it crashed Stockalyze.
Now, I don't want the MACD or any indicators for that matter, for an IPO, but can Stockalyze be setup to ignore the default chart and use a basic (Price, Volume) when there is not sufficient data to display/calculate the indicators or zones?

I'm now advancing into creating some trading systems that I use online and am trying to replicate them in Stockalyze.
And I need help.

What I'm trying to create is a RSI(10) Bearish
Here's the criteria:

RSI(10) crossed below 70
and RSI(10) 1 day ago was above 70 for the last 5 days

I tried adding a sub condition for the "and" part to no avail. I then tried adding a condition for it and again nothing. Maybe I still am not understanding the X and Y days and how I can include an "and" criteria.

I have some tickers that fall into this criteria, but when I run it against them I get zero hits.
Can you help me?

Thanks
Tony

Managing Trading Systems:
When you edit a trading system and OK. The Managing Trading Systems window shows the line selected in grey and not the "blue" selection color. Merely cosmetic.

Create New Chart:
Sometimes when I create a new chart. It doesn't become the "active" window. I have to bring it up from the windows taskbar. Is this a Windows 7 issue?

Trading System:
When you create a trading system, could you please explain the "M" and "N" days.
For example: if I look at the ADOSC System.
The subcondition says:
"MACD(12, 26, 9).MACD crosses MACD(12, 26, 9).MACDSignal from below during 5, and 0 previous days"
I don't understand the 5 and zero days. Is it saying any one of the past zero to five days. Or is it saying 5 days ago from current date (0)? Is it from highest number of days to lowest from current date?

Can TTM (Trailing 12 months) be added to the Periodicity Menu?

Thanks,
Tony
