Market Analysis System : Technical Analysis/Stock Charting Software for Windows, Linux, and UNIX

The Market Analysis System (MAS) is an open-source software application that provides tools for analysis of financial markets using technical analysis.

MAS provides facilities for stock charting and futures charting, including price, volume, and a wide range of technical analysis indicators. MAS also allows automated processing of market data — applying technical analysis indicators with user-selected criteria to market data to automatically generate trading signals — and can be used as the main component of a sophisticated trading system.

Some of the features of MAS are:

• Includes basic technical analysis indicators, such as Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average, Stochastic, MACD, RSI, On Balance Volume, and Momentum.
• Includes more advanced indicators, such as Standard Deviation, Slope of EMA of Volume, Slope of MACD Signal Line, Bollinger Bands, and Parabolic SAR.
• User can create new technical analysis indicators, including complex indicators based on existing indicators.
• User can configure criteria for automated trading-signal generation.
• Creation of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly data from daily data.
• Handles intraday data.
• Handles stock and futures data.
• Accepts input data from files, from a database, or from the web. (Includes a configuration for obtaining end-of-day data from yahoo.com.)
• Can be configured and run as a server that provides services for several clients at a time running on remote machines.

Gauging the Strength of a Market Move

Most traders and investors are familiar with the saying "the trend is your friend." But deciding what constitutes a trend often proves challenging because it depends on the trader’s preferred time in the trade. Furthermore, once a trend has been identified, the trader must determine its strength.

In his book The Logical Trader, Mark Fisher describes a number of techniques to help his reader spot trend breakouts and identify their strength. Fisher’s ACD trading system uses intraday data to identify the daily opening range for finding trades. But this intraday ACD technique may not appeal to the long-term trader or investor.

The trouble is that, while relative valuation is quick and easy to use, it can be a trap for investors.
