You can try our upcoming version where you can show chart of desired duration by just a click: stockalyze.com/download/private/stockalyze_setup.exe.
Please let me know if it is what you wanted.

Stockalyze seamlessly updates data when it is accessed. Creating chart is not the only way but any thing that needs data usage triggers an update. If you open portfolio then also data is updated. For better experience data is updated lazily in most case. For example if you open portfolio then existing data is used to show portfolio value but it also triggers data update in background. When new data is received then portfolio is updated. When you create chart then data is first updated then chart is shown. So, you can say creating chart ensures data is updated for sure because lazy way for updating may take some unknown amount of time. But in reality that is not the case and they should be updated pretty quickly.

You can add missing stock symbol on your own. Stockalyze allows adding and removing symbols. Please read https://stockalyze.com/hlp/manual/topics/managing-symbols.html#adding_security. It will hardly take a minute to add symbols on your own. Please let me know if you face any problem.

Thanks,
Sacha

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

Yes, it's cosmetic. I will look into it anyway.

QuoteSometimes 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?

No it's not Windows 7 issue. But I have fixed it and will be available soon.

QuoteWhen you create a trading system, could you please explain the "M" and "N" days.

I wish I could have created explainer video for this. I will try to have a video explaining this. Anyways it is basically when you want a condition to have happened during a duration. So, "during 5, and 0 previous days" simply means during past 6 days (including today). Zero means on the day of evaluation. So if you are evaluating a condition for today then past 0 day will mean today. Had it been "during 5, and 1 previous days", it would have meant during 12 May and 16 May (including both these dates) as today is 17 May. I hope I have clarified it. :)

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

I didn't get this. Periodicity is Daily, weekly, etc. how can TTM be as periodicity?

I hope my answer will be useful. In case you need further clarification please don't hesitate to ask it.

This is suggested before and we will be adding it in next upgrade version.

Thanks for suggestion,
Sacha

They should not be. Can you please send screenshots so that I can understand it better?

Thanks,
Sacha

This thought comes to my mind very often but I don't think it will be worth the effort. I don't see many people want that, in fact you are the first one to ask this. If there will be enough people interested in Linux version I can put my effort.

Yes you can run backtest on multiple symbols in one go. You can test multiple systems with multiple symbols in one go. This feature is available for few limited systems in Lite mode too so you can try it yourself.

Regarding upgrading to perpetual with difference in price. Sorry, that is not possible.
The cost of Stockalyze is not much you can decide which one you want to buy.

Thank you for reporting this problem. It was a very old metastock data format and Stockalyze wasn't handling it properly. It is now fixed and installer has been updated. Please download again and run the installer.

Please let me know if you find any issue.

Thanks,
Sacha

Yes, I received the data. Thank you.
It is not crashing for me but I do see that we have problem deciphering the format of data you have.
I am not sure if the data is indeed correct. Can you use this metastock data with other application? Can you confirm if the data is infact valid?

Thanks,
Sacha

Yes. Sort of.
You can export chart as image and then you can print it.
