Introduction
Qtstalker is a basic end of day Technical Analysis package with many
features. It compares with similar commercial products like Metastok,
Superchartz, Tradestation(...maybe one day) etc. If you are familiar with
those, then you should be able to muddle along with Qtstalker.
The project has kept to a lean and simple design philosophy in order to
maximize speed, portability and resource usage.
Features:
- Dozens of your favorite TA indicators available as plugins like MACD,
RSI, MA's, Bollinger Bands etc.
- 5 chart types including line, bar, candlestick, point and figure and
paint bars.
- A really, really, really crappy portfolio manager. Good for tracking
open positions.
- Quote plugins that download data from many sources like Yahooo, CBOT,
CME, NYBOT etc.
- Chart drawing objects like trend lines, buy and sell arrows, text,
horizontal and vertical lines, Fibonacci retracement lines.
- Chart compression types like daily, weekly and monthly.
- Support for investment types like stock, futures, index and
spreads.
- 2 chart scaling formats like scale to screen, and entire data
series.
- Plugin system for quotes and indicators for future extensibility.
