AmiBroker

Knowledge and information are the two main factors standing behind profitable investments on the financial markets. The two are combined by AmiBroker, an application that addresses both beginner and more experienced investors, aiming to provide a complete set of tools for carrying out technical analysis for various stocks.

AmiBroker enables you to view price evolutions on the financial markets (NYSE, Nasdaq and so on) and calculate indicators that can ultimately help you take inspired investment decisions. Providing real-time data within intelligible charts, it helps you keep an eye on symbols that interest you, view trend interpretations or write down your own.

The application can extract data for intra-day prices or values recorded at the closing of the trading session, displaying color-coded candlestick, line or bar charts that are easy to read. Alternatively, you can set it to generate the graph based on a custom number of ticks or trading volume.

Its rich tool set enables you to create general trend lines or use geometrical figures and text boxes to switch focus to important areas on the graph. Investors can determine potential areas of support or resistance using Fibonacci's charting techniques (retracement, fan, arc, time zones, extension), which helps them figure out when it's time to sell or buy. You can use it to place an order to your broker, specifying the stock quantity, the limit and the stop prices and other parameters.

AmiBroker can generate reports on a company's returns and compare the stock price with the earnings it might bring you, in the attempt to evaluate the profitability of the transaction. You can instruct it to notify you via e-mail for changes in the analysis or the indicator values, so that you don't miss out on any future investment opportunity.
