Qtstalker offers comprehensive technical analysis and charting tools for stock and commodity markets. Users can access real-time data and graphs to make informed trading decisions.
If you're looking for a technical analysis package for GNU/Linux or other Unix-like systems, look no further than Qtstalker. This open-source software is similar to commercial options like Metastock, Supercharts, and Tradestation, but with a lean design that prioritizes speed, portability, and low resource usage. Plus, thanks to its plugin model, you can easily extend the functionality of Qtstalker to meet your needs.
One of the best things about Qtstalker is that it's distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL, so it's completely free software. Plus, with an active development community, new features are being added all the time. Whether you're interested in stock market, commodity, or technical analysis charting, this app based on the Qt toolkit has you covered.
Some of the key features of Qtstalker include a point-and-click object-oriented graphical user interface, as well as line, bar, and candlestick chart types. You can customize colors, choose logarithmic or linear arithmetic scaling, and scale to screen. With indicators plugins like MACD, MAs, Bollinger Bands, and RSI, you'll have everything you need to analyze your data.
Qtstalker also has a simple scripting facility that allows you to create custom indicators. You can combine different plots in one indicator, as well as combine other indicators and calculations. The ExScript indicator enables external scripts to pass data in, while the Indicator Summary tool shows a table of all indicator parameters from all active indicators.
Other features include chart drawing objects like trendlines, buy/sell arrows, horizontal and vertical lines, fibonacci retracement lines, text, and cycles. You can download data from online sources like Yahoo, CME, and NYBOT using quote plugins, as well as import data from plain-text CSV files. The plugin architecture for quotes and indicators makes it easy to extend the software in the future.
Qtstalker also supports minute, daily, weekly, and monthly chart compression options, as well as various data classes for investment types like stocks, futures, indices, ratios, and spreads. The back testing function allows you to test indicator performance using actual trading data, while the portfolio manager is good for tracking open positions (with suggestions for improvement welcome). Finally, there's a scanner to help you find charts that meet your criteria, as well as a paper trading mode that lets you practice trading without risking any capital.
