Introduction:
SASI's MarketEdge is a trend analysis market timing software
program. It can be used for individual stocks and Indexes, but
the primary function of MarketEdge is to analyze the overall
market and determine major trend changes.
MarketEdge uses technical data from the NYSE to generate the
Technical Index which is a Master Market Breadth Index. The
technical data required is Advances, Declines, Unchanged issues,
Up Volume, Down Volume, Total Volume, New Highs, New Lows, Date,
and DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Avg.). Daily data is recommended
but weekly can be used.
The software generates and plots the following indicators:
Advance-Decline Line, Bollinger Bands, Dow, McClellan
Oscillator, RSI, SASITOP, SASI Oscillator, Sigma Limits,
Stochastics, and Technical Index.
The graphs are updated and viewed to determine the market trend
status. In the F1 HELP menu, a table summarizes the signals
under the ENTRY AND EXIT SIGNALS section. Analysis sensitivity
can be varied from short term trading to long term investing.
Use the HELP menu (F1 Key) and the manual on disk to get started.
I. Installation
(for files down loaded from BBS's, just make a directory SASI
and explode all self extracting files there. Then type
RUN MES1 to run the program.)
A. INSTALL Program
The INSTALL program automatically makes a directory c:\SASI and
copies all the files to this directory.
Place the INSTALL disk #1 in the appropriate drive. From your
DOS prompt, type A:INSTALL or B:INSTALLB, whichever is
appropriate. If there are any problems with installation, just
manually make a directory and copy the files from the disk.
i.e. CD\---to get to root.
MD SASI---makes a directory "SASI" under root.
CD SASI---go to SASI directory.
Place disk to copy in appropriate drive.
Copy A:*.*, or Copy B:*.* whichever is appropriate.
II. To run MarketEdge.
From the SASI directory, type RUN MES1
III. Reading Manual
The Manual is provided on disk as a file. To read use the TYPE
command. i.e. TYPE MANUAL.SHR | MORE. Even better use a text
editor like EDIT in DOS Ver 5.0.
IV. Printing the manual.
Use the COPY command to print the entire manual which is 71
pages. i.e. COPY C:\SASI\MANUAL.SHR LPT1. Replace LPT1 with
your printer port (LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2). You can also use a
text editor like EDIT in DOS Ver 5.0 which allows you to print
selected sections.
V. Installation/running problems
Most initial loading problems are related to memory, conflicts
with other programs or the video system. If you have initial
loading problems, disable the AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE OR THE PROGRAMS
IT CALLS. Refer to chapter 2 in manual for more information or
call SASI Software Technical Support.
A basic 640K DOS system with hard disk and graphics capability is
all that is required. A 286 10 MHz or better CPU with math
coprocessor is recommend. MarketEdge uses expanded memory. If
memory is limited it will use the hard disk as virtual memory.
The graphs on CGA displays will look terrible. An EGA or VGA
display is recommended.
If the program locks up during loading, and disabling
AUTOEXEC.BAT does not solve the problem, then the problem may be
a conflict with the video system. Read your documentation on how
to exclude memory addresses.
For a 386 computer with DOS 5.0, and 4 Megs of RAM memory, add or
modify these lines in your config.sys file using the DOS editor
EDIT: (I am assuming no other memory manager is being used. If
another memory manager is being used, consult its documentation.)
1. files=30 (The number of files that can be open.)
2. buffers=30 (The number of buffers that can be open.)
3. device=PATH\himem.sys (Extended memory manager.)
4. device=PATH\emm386.exe 2048 ram frame=E000 X=C000-D3FF
(line 4 set 2 Megs as expanded memory, sets upper memory
management, sets the page frame starting address, and
excludes a memory range that the video normally uses.)
Replace PATH with the directory where himem.sys and emm386.exe
are located. i.e. device=c:\dos\himem.sys.
