Features of MarketPLUS:
-----------------------
MarketPLUS is a full featured investment tracking package with powerful
graphics/charting capabilities. It is written for the individual
investor.
For years, charting the price action of investments meant performing
caclulations by hand, or at best with a hand-held calculator and
ultimately plotting points and lines manually on graph paper to
analyze price direction and market trends.
With the emergence of low-cost personal computers and the advances in
computer graphics display and other improvements in hardware
performance, the investor can now track, display, test a variety of
technical indicators will minimal effort and great numeric accuracy
using specialized software programs for graphic charting. MarketPLUS is
such a specialized program...
While other programs of this type load only one security as a separate
data file, MarketPLUS goes further. With MarketPLUS, you can create
several individual data files that can store up to 5 individual
securities and up to 130 trading days (weeks, or months if you wish) of
data. Even better, as a registered user, you AUTOMATICALLY receive
your copy of MarketPLUS that will store up to 50 (that's right, fifty!)
securities in each individual file.
MarketPLUS is recognized as the easiest investment graphics package to
use. MarketPLUS is extremely easy to learn and use because.. (1) it
completely menu-driven, (2) you do not have to memorize complicated
instructions, or commands, and (3) there is an on-line help screen.
Microsoft or compatible mice are also supported.
Here's a brief summary of some of the features.....
