- I didn't see this in the FAQ in comp.misc: can anybody provide
- recommendations for software to analyze stock market data?
-
- Actually, I'm more interested in powerful plotting programs, rather
- than mathematical analysis. So, if you are doing this, what's your
- preferred source of stock market data (both US and international), and
- what's your preferred software to examine the data?
-
- A bit more specifically, I'm seeing ads in, e.g., "Investor's Business
- Daily" for, say, Trendsetter, Signal, TeleChart 2000, Prodigy, AIQ,
- etc., all of which provide data and/or analysis software. How is the
- software? What about non-conventional analysis, such as looking at the
- data in the frequency domain (fourier analysis); non-conventional
- plotting/graphing, and so on. Anybody in this group try to look at
- the data using fractal/chaotic techniques? Somewhere I read about a
- few National Lab people starting a company to do this...
-
- If you email replies, I'll summarize in 2-3 weeks. Followups have
- been directed to misc.invest
