- 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.
-
