The Analyst upgrade to version 5 - December 2004

The stock market has held onto its recent gains with most shares performing well over the past year. We have heard from many customers whose portfolios are booming and we continue to receive suggestions for upgrades and modifications to the Analyst program. We have incorporated many of these into the newly released Analyst version 5. Some of the improvements are listed below, like the new price scanner module, scan+. This has been extended to include turning points, which help to identify when to buy or sell shares. Scan+ now covers twice as many types of analysis, and can search for peaks and troughs to identify when a share is starting a major move.

Charting has been enhanced recently with features such as a variable end gap to draw trend lines further ahead. This can even be made negative to let you test your predictive abilities. Point & figure charts are now available in both logarithmic and linear scaling and the free half-day seminar will help you make the most of the analytical tools.

To purchase the support pack, receive the new program and qualify for the free half-day seminar either call us on 02380 477709 or use the order form. The standing order mandate lets you spread your payments and saves you money.

The price scanner module helps you to find profit by automatically searching through the archives. You decide what to look for based on a combination of price, moving average, stop loss, RSI etc. The scanner then searches and pulls out all shares matching your criteria. ‘Scan+’ has extended the power of the scanner by adding 5 more scan types and more ways to search, including peaks, troughs and the price island pattern described in the seminar.

The company results function displays turnover, profit & loss, EPS, dividend etc. and automatically links to the price database to give accurate P/E, yield and other ratios.

The unit trust and OEICS feed covers the UK’s 700 most popular managed funds. Offer and mid prices are quoted and the program has been modified to accept the longer names of these funds.
