Historical Charting – Technical Analysis Screen Shot
(Click to pop-up)
The stock price chart is presented as a candlestick plot which contains daily open, close, maximum and minimum prices as well as colors to differentiate days of price rises and falls. The stock price graph is a noisy signal therefore an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) signal is overlayed to highlight the underlying stock price trends. The default EMA(20) signal takes a period of 20 days of price changes and calculates an exponential average by applying more weight to the latest data. The EMA period can be set to look for shorter or longer termed price trends as required.
Technical Analysis Signals
A number of Technical Analysis signals are available to apply to the historical stock price information including:
- Bollinger Bands (plus Bandwidth and %b)
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
- MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
- OBV (On Balance Volume)
- ROC (Rate of Change)
- RSI (Relative Strength Index)
- SMA (Simple Moving Average)
- STO (Stochastic Oscillator)
- Williams %R
Users can add any number of the above signals with the only limitation being screen size. Each signal can be customized by varying the moving average types used, signal and trigger periods, and graphical display options. An example of adding the technical signals RSI and MACD are shown below.
