Are you using Alphavantage data provider? Alphavantage has limitation that it allows download of only 5 stocks data in a minute. So, it will take long time to download data of 1600 stocks.

If you are backtesting End Of Day data then use Yahoo! data provider, it will be much faster. If you want to test intraday data then I will advise to have patience or purchase Alphavantage data.

We will soon allow use of ascii (text) data so that you can use Stockalyze with other data providers that may deliver data in text form.

Dear Bharat,
Thanks for your interest in Stockalyze Pro Mode but I don't think the low cost of Stockalyze leaves any room for price negotiation, unless of course you want to buy volume license.

Software development is costly and cumbersome, lifetime free update of Pro Mode is something unheard of. Please let me know if you get free upgrade of paid software anywhere else. Do you get new version of operating system just because you had bought previous version? I will be interested in knowing an example of a software that you pay for and get unlimited upgrade.

Support is free and provided here on this Forum. You can go into the forum posts and see how support has been provided.

The price mentioned for each license is final. You can take time to decide. Lite Mode of Stockalyze is free and has all the features that are available in Pro Mode (with some limitations of course) and so evaluate it thoroughly before you make up your mind about purchase.

I hope you understand. Please let me know how I can help you further.

For Point and Figure chart we have noticed that in recent update unfortunately a bug had crept in. The workaround is you first create a technical chart of same symbol and then create Point and Figure chart.
We regret this problem but it will soon be fixed. In fact it has already been fixed and we will soon release it. Please have patience.

Feature & Enhancement Requests / Re: SUPER TREND
November 02, 2019, 08:54:37 AM
Super Trend indicator is something you can create yourself in Stockalyze. But yes as of now documentation is missing about how to do that. I will add documentation and/or demo video about how to create composite indicators.
#365
As far as implementing just this feature, it won't take much time. But as of now I am busy implementing something else (ascii and metastock data import, intraday P&F chart, backtesting for short-positions, and etc.) and that will take few more days. But anyways I don't think you will have to wait much. Please stay tuned and have little patience, it will be done.  :)

I think it's a nice suggestion. I will think about.

General Discussion / Re: Chart And Technical screener
November 01, 2019, 02:36:58 AM
Hi Bharat,
Below are my answers:
Quote1) Where do I get Intra Day chart?
You can install Stockalyze and create intraday chart even in Lite version. The first tool on main Window if for intraday chart. Please give it a try.

Quote2) Can we create Watchlist along with Technical Indicator i.e. Technical Screener?
Yes, you can. Again, Stockalyze in Lite mode is fully functional and you can try it for free. Please test stock screener feature and see if it is what you want. You can make feature request if there is something more you want.

Quote3) For Perpetual Paid version why only minimum for 3 years and for other it is "Always"
It's a very good question. Please allow me to answer. The same Stockalyze can run in ProMode as well as LiteMode depending on if valid license is found. Perpetual license is forever in ProMode but we cannot give free updates forever especially if there are features with large implementation cost. So, for perpetual we guarantee you will get minimum 3 years of updates. But you can keep using Stockalyze in ProMode forever. For other licenses Stockalyze can be updated freely forever but the ProMode license itself is short lived and after that Stockalyze will run in LiteMode. LiteMode Stockalyze is free and can get updated freely.

Quote4) Most important how do I validate Indicator values i.e. RSI, CCI etc is correct as per standard formula.
In Stockalyze chart you can see the values of all indicators. If you have some other calculation you can compare some random values and see if they match.

Quote5) Is it possible to upload index wise or sector wise like Nifty 50 at one Go..
I am sorry I didn't get this question. What do you mean by upload?

Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

Regards,
Sacha

General Discussion / Re: Duplicate Symbols in Database
October 31, 2019, 04:29:12 PM
As of now all stocks symbols are unique within a single data-provider. So it doesn't matter which one you use. The downloaded data will be exactly same. If you want you can delete the duplicate.

Just for information, this wasn't the case earlier when google was also a data-provider in Stockalyze. Google's symbols were not unique but they were unique within one country. And exchange name was needed to download price data. Google no longer supports price history and so that problem is no longer there.

Regarding duplicate symbols I will find time to clean them up and also update them. But it may take some time.

I had been planning to add all indicators involved in Trading System definition when you open a chart from result of backtesting. Is it something for which you have asked or there is some other requirement. Please let me know. I can implement it after I am done implementing some other feature like ascii data import and such.

General Discussion / Re: Watchlists
October 30, 2019, 03:35:01 AM
You may try to edit the watchlist file directly. If you have added any item in watchlist then you can go to "%appdata%\Lunetek Software\Stockalyze" folder and edit watchlists.xml file directly. Make sure you have Stockalyze closed and ensure that data is not incorrect and be cautious about that.
I will not recommend this approach unless you wan to do it. :) Nothing wrong will happen, but you should take backup of watchlists.xml if you want to revert back to original in case of any mistake.
#372
As you know Stockalyze uses data from Yahoo!, Tiingo, or Alphavantage. If the data provider misses a record Stockalyze cannot do anything about it. You can check on Alphavantage website and download the data of your stock and see if it has same data as Stockalyze shows. If you find Stockalyze shows different data, which I very much doubt, then please let me know.
#373
As of now it is not possible. You can define conditions based on relation between 2 data-series.
But, there were similar query asked by other users as well.
I will think about it and will let you know if I make changes related to it.

Thanks for letting me know your requirement.

Feature & Enhancement Requests / Re: Missing Tickers
October 27, 2019, 08:30:00 PM
QuoteJust questions:
Shouldn't you require a name in order to add a symbol?
It is required when you manually add it. Since in the workflow of importing symbols for backtesting (or other purpose) you may not have company names in the list and just tickers. You may acquire this list by process of some scanning from somewhere in the internet and that might only have tickers. Making it mandatory to have names may make this feature unusable.

QuoteIs the company name retrievable through the download process?
As of now we only download price history.
