ABOUT THE SAMPLE SCRIPTS
Included are a few sample scripts that will work with SnapStock's SCRIPTS
function. There are TWO scripts drawers. One here in the main directiry,
and another inside CHARTS. Scripts placed in this latter directory (up to
ten of them) will appear on a bottom-screen menu bar in SnapStock, and can
be run with one click.
SnapX10.SCT
This script will take the top ten items listed in your quotes file,
chart them, and save them in your snapshot album. Push the up and down
cursor keys to view them, when the script finishes. If you are not using
dual-day quotes (GENIE-style), then edit this script to chart consecutive
numbers rather than every other number.
TwoWave.sct
This script will make a cycle chart of an overlapping long duration
and short duration wave, using the issue you last charted.
2waveX5.sct
Takes the first five issues in your quotes file, and snapshots both
a chart and a two-wave chart for each.
FrSweep.sct
Makes a frequency sweep animation of the last issue you charted.
MyUpdat.sct
Automatically performs an UPDATE ALL from your quotes file, assuming
that it always has the same name. You will probably want to modify
this script to reflect the name and path of the quotes file you use.
Demonst.sct
A demonstration, like the one in the QUICK START doc file.
MakePortfChart.sct
Makes a portfolio chart, named TRIAL, from historical data contained
in chart files. To use, you need to modify two files: TRIAL.CFG is a
portfolio configuration file, and it should contain the mix of issues
you are testing. TRIAL.XPR is a quotes file. It should contain the
names of all the issues specified in the configuration file, with
zeros for all the prices. Finally, edit the script file: The beginning
dates and the date increments can be changed. Currently, the script
will make 24 points, spaced 1 month apart. You may extend the script,
if you wish, or simply run it repeatedly to get the number of data points
you wish (advancing the beginning dates each time.) If you have
sufficient RAM to copy your SnapStock directory to RAM: before running
this script, you will really appreciate the increase in speed.
2envelp.sct
Your issue will be recharted with two overlapping envelopes. The periods
for the two envelopes can be changed by editing this script.
ThreeMA.sct
Charts your issue with three overlapping moving averages. The values for
the three averages are taken from: the M.A. box, the UPPER box, and the
LOWER input box.
2invert.sct
Displays (and snapshots) two overlapping inverted moving averages of your
issue. This script can be edited to change the periods of the averages.
PrintRP.sct
Prints your performance report and portfolio report.
RP2disk.sct
Creates two text files (inside your CHARTS drawer) of your reports, named
PERFORMANCE.TXT and PORTFOLIO.TXT.
If any of these scripts create an error before finishing, it's likely
that you have either run out of memory (snapshots use a lot) or that
one or more of your issues don't contain enough data for the two-cycle
charts or moving averages. You can interrupt any running script by
tapping the ESCAPE key.
