BlogTrader Platform is an open source software providing free stock technical analysis services.
One of the key features of BlogTrader Platform is its ability to support parallel quote data retrieval from Yahoo! or ASCII text files. It also has the ability to create historical, intra-day, and real-time charts, with candle, bar, and line charts. Additionally, it offers a natural date/trading date view model. The platform supports a number of different indicators, including "MACD", "OBV", "ROC", "KD", "BIAS", "DMI", "RSI", "MTM", and "WMS", as well as drawing of "Line", "Parallel", "Gann Angle", and "Fibonacci Line".
One of the most appealing aspects of BlogTrader Platform is its ease of use. Users can easily write their own indicators and customize the platform to their unique trading style. It also features the ability to retrieve quote data in parallel from Yahoo! Finance, netfonds.se, or CSV files, as well as save quote data to local database (hsqldb). Additionally, it can adjust quote charts for splits and dividends if possible (Yahoo! quote data only).
BlogTrader Platform offers daily, weekly, and monthly charts (with weekly and monthly data automatically generated from daily data), a historical/intra-day/real-time chart, and a real-time ticker board. It can also update daily, weekly, monthly charts and their indicators automatically according to the newest tickers. Users can compare multiple quote-charts, as well as use candle/bar/line charts and a calendar/trading date view. The platform allows users to define indicator's parameters separately for daily, weekly, and monthly charts, with parameters that can be saved as default or apply to all. Users can also add layer drawings separately for daily, weekly, and monthly, with the ability to save/restore drawings.
BlogTrader Platform is designed to make it easy for users to write their own indicators. While it is currently only available in Java, it supports multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Solaris. Some minor bugfixes were made in the most recent release, with more updates expected in the near future. Overall, BlogTrader Platform is a highly recommended software for those looking for a powerful, customizable stock technical analysis system.
