SITE LICENSE INFORMATION
------------------------
April, 1992
What is a site license? A site license is an inexpensive way for
more than one person to legally use one copy of a program on more
than one computer at a time. Site licenses are designed for
companies, offices or workgroups where more than one person in
the organization needs to use a product, but does not need
additional manuals or disks. Site licensing enables companies,
departments, government agencies, etc., to equip their personnel
with the tools they need at a minimal cost.
How do site licenses work? The company purchasing a site license
(the licensee) provides a single point of contact for shipping,
technical support, upgrades, etc., and we (the licensor) provide
a "golden master" of the diskettes, manual, and any other parts
of the package.
Exhibit 1 gives a breakdown of the cost of site licensing and how
much you save per site licensed. For instance, if you purchased
a site license for 15 users (sites) your cost would be $539.40,
which saves you $209.85 of the cost of 15 separate purchases. The
more sites you license, the more you save.
The following document is the complete license agreement. Simply
print it, fill it out, sign under LICENSEE, enclose a check or
money order for the correct amount, and mail it to:
WINTERRA Software Group
P.O.Box 4106
Highlands Ranch, CO 80126
Voice/Fax: (303) 470-6323
Upon receipt of the completed, signed form, and a check or money
order for the correct amount, we will send you the required
"golden masters" and a copy of the license agreement with an
authorized signature under LICENSOR.
If you have any questions, or if you need site license information
for more than 100 sites, please call our offices.
All of the following pages are part of the actual site license
agreement.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 What Is Stable Investment Software?
----------------------------------------
Stable (tm) Investment Software is planned as an integrated set
of programs seeking to provide both experienced and novice
investors and traders with useful software tools focusing on the
study of the financial markets.
It is the goal of WINTERRA Software Group to provide useful, easy to
use programs, beneficial in meeting your day to day investment needs.
It is hoped that you, as an interested and/or experienced user of
market related software, will provide comments and suggestions
assisting us in meeting this goal. You are encouraged to let us
know what you think of the product - and what features and/or
functionality are important to you.
This software program - Technical Graphs - addresses one specific
area of financial market investing; the analysis and study of market
movement and direction through the interpretation of technically-
oriented graphs.
Stable - Technical Graphs can be used to graph data associated with
individual stocks, mutual funds, commodities, interest rates, major
stock and bond indexes (i.e., Dow Jones, Standard & Poor's, Lehman
Brothers, etc.) - essentially any data that has (at a minimum) a
date and price value associated with it.
Introduction 1-2
1.2 Features
-------------
This latest update of Stable - Technical Graphs contains many of
your most requested features as well as being Windows 3.0/3.1
compatible. Written for experienced and novice users alike,
Stable provides powerful - yet easy to use - stock market
technical analysis capabilities ideal for the technical trader
with existing (or access to) historical financial data for stocks,
bonds, commodities, mutual funds, indexes, and options.
Combining popular technical indicators with features such as DDE
(Dynamic Data Exchange), chart printing, selectable graph styles,
new data import formats, popup graph menus, enhanced desktop
management features, and more - Stable is likely to become your
technical analysis tool for the Windows environment. Reads CSI,
Technical Tools, MetaStock, and ASCII formatted data files.
Stable - Technical Graphs reads CSI, Technical Tools, MetaStock,
and ASCII formatted data files; allowing you to use your existing
data more effectively. All Stable charts support horizontal
scrolling - giving you the ability to study as many as 1,024 units
(days, weeks, etc.) of data in a single graph. And when you
identify a chart worthy of more attention, simply print it to one
of your system printers.
All Stable charts provide an easy to use "slider" for accurately
comparing a specific day's activity across several graphs. Also
available for every chart is a "toolbar" providing single mouse
click operation of frequently used charting operations and tools.
In addition to the above capabilities, other standard features
found in Stable - Technical Graphs include:
- The display of up to 64 market charts for individual and
comparative study, with each chart containing as many as
1,024 units (days, weeks, months) of data.
- DDE support letting you communicate directly with any Stable
chart through the use of third-party software (such as
Microsoft Excel) to open, print, display - or to dynamically
add new data to a chart.
- Windows 3.1 "Drag and Drop" support allowing CSV and Technical
Tools data files to be opened simply by "dragging" the file from
the File Manager directly to the Stable logo window or icon.
- User-selectable graph styles; including High/Low Bar, Line,
and Histogram graphs.
- Popup menu support within any graph allowing you to quickly
perform many common graph functions.
- Improved desktop chart management features such as closing
or minimizing all charts, and easily moving from one chart
to another.
Introduction 1-3
- The ability to print your technical charts to any attached
printer using the provided print functionality of Windows.
- On-line help documentation using the standard Window's Help
program.
- All chart and graph colors are easily selected and changed
to suit your own personal preference.
- An "Auto Chart Configuration Mode" giving you the option of
having Stable automatically save your chart colors and
technical indicator parameters.
- Runs on most Windows supported displays; including EGA, VGA,
VGA (monochrome), extended VGA resolutions (800 x 600 and
1024 x 780) - 16 and 256 color capable.
1.3 Distribution Files
-----------------------
The following files are included as part of the Stable - Technical
Graphs shareware distribution package:
STABLE.EXE Stable - Technical Graphs Windows Program File
STABLE.HLP Stable - Technical Graphs Windows Help File
STABLE.DOC Stable - Technical Graphs User Reference Manual
STABLE.XLM Excel macro sheet demonstrating DDE features
DJIA.CSV Sample ASCII data - Dow Jones Industrials

VENDOR.DOC Information and restrictions for disk vendors,
SYSOP.DOC Information for Bulletin Board System distribution.
DESCRIBE.DOC Sample descriptions for catalogs, BBSs, etc.
LICENSE.DOC Important License and Usage Information
SITELICE.DOC Site License Information and Agreement.
Please take the time to read the above files (at least those that
pertain to you as a individual user, vendor, or sysop).
Introduction 1-4
1.4 Installing Stable
----------------------
Stable - Technical Graphs requires only four program files to run
(not including any of the data files which you will graph):
- STABLE.EXE
- STABLE.HLP
- DDEML.DLL
- SHELL.DLL
When executing Stable v1.10, all of the above files MUST BE available
at runtime; either from the current directory or a directory found
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT "PATH=" statement.
To simplify the process of running Stable - Technical Graphs within
your Windows environment, the DOS directory that you choose to store
the product files should be one that you have specified in your
environment's PATH statement ("\STABLE" is recommended).
For example, if you choose to place the Stable - Technical Graphs
package in the recommended directory named "\STABLE", you should
edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add "\STABLE" to your "PATH="
environment variable.
The data files that have been provided with the product allow you to
immediately use the program in your own environment. While these
(and other) data files can be placed in any directory, you may want
to at least keep all of the Stable distribution files together within
the same directory.
If you have a compressed copy of the Stable - Technical Graphs
package (ie, STABLE.ZIP, STABLE.ARC, STABLE.LHZ), the simplest
installation procedure is:
1. Create a new subdirectory on your system called \STABLE.
2. Copy the compressed Stable file to this new directory.
3. Decompress the Stable file using the appropriate decompression
program (PKUNZIP.EXE for .ZIP file, PKXARC.EXE for .ARC, etc.)
4. Add the \STABLE directory to your "PATH=" statement in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
5. Reboot your system.
If you have received the Stable - Technical Graphs package as the
complete set of uncompressed individual files listed in Section 1.3
"Distribution Files", perform the same steps as above with the
exception of step 3).
Introduction 1-5
As a final step to installation, you should consider removing the
file named STABLE.INI from your Windows directory if you have a
previous version of Stable installed. In order to support many of
the enhanced features of Stable v1.10, several minor changes had to
be made to the file's syntax.
If you delete the STABLE.INI file, you will have to save any chart
configuration information once again. If you do not delete the
file, Stable will still operate, however, it will not recognize any
previously save configuration information anyway.
1.5 If Stable Won't Run
------------------------
If you try and run Stable - Technical Graphs and encounter a Windows
error message similar to either of the following...
CANNOT FIND DDEML.DLL, PLEASE INSERT IN DRIVE A:
CANNOT FIND SHELL.DLL, PLEASE INSERT IN DRIVE A:
...this indicates an invalid installation of Stable on your computer.
If you installed all the Stable distribution files into a single
directory, then all you need to do is include the directory name
in your PATH statement - AND REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER. Any changes made
to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will not become effective until after a
system restart.
1.6 Backup You Files
---------------------
Before you actually begin using Stable - Technical Graphs, it is
strongly suggested that you at least perform the following task:
!BACKUP YOUR STABLE DISTRIBUTION FILES OR DISKETTE!
Accidents do happen! While there may not be any way to prevent the
loss of your program, you can take action now to help avoid the
problem of being without it in the future. Making a backup copy now
is insurance that you won't have to be without Stable - Technical
Graphs when you need it.

5.24 Quickly Selecting Any Chart For Study
-------------------------------------------
As you create new charts, you may find that you've lost sight of a
chart because it is hidden behind another chart, or it has been
minimized to an icon and not currently visible.
Stable provides a quick and easy way to recall or display any of the
charts you've created and to make it the topmost window on the
display.
To display an existing chart whether hidden from view or minimized:
* Select the Window Menu from the Stable logo window or on any
available chart and choose the chart you want to view.
5.25 Setting the Default Chart Characteristics (Window Method)
---------------------------------------------------------------
When new charts are created, they automatically take on specific
characteristics stored in Stable - Technical Graphs. You can change
these default settings to suit your own personal preferences. Only
new charts (charts that have not been previously saved) will take on
the default settings.
This method allows you to set the default chart settings to any one
of your currently displayed charts. All characteristics of the
chart, including; chart size, position, colors, indicator graphs,
and moving averages are saved and later used in creating a new chart.
To save the characteristics of any chart as the default settings:
* Select Save Chart As Default from the File Menu of any chart.
Procedures 5-11
5.26 Setting the Size of the Price Graph
-----------------------------------------
When new technical indicator graphs are placed within a chart, the
size of the Price Graph changes to make room for the additional
graphs. In Stable v1.00, this size was a fixed percentage of the
chart area dependent upon the number of indicator graphs.
You can now specify in v1.10 the amount of space that the Price Graph
should occupy when 1, 2, or 3 indicator graphs are displayed in the
chart. This specification can be made either manually through a
dialog box, or interactively with your mouse directly on the chart.
Using the manual method, the Price Graph size is entered as a
percentage of the total chart's display area. For example, if you
want the Price Graph to occupy one-half of the chart's total area,
you will specify fifty percent (50%).
To set the amount of space that the Price Graph is to occupy via the
manual method:
1. Select Price Graph Size from the Options Menu on the chart.
2. Enter the size of the Price Graph as a percentage of the total
chart area for 1, 2, and 3 technical indicators.
To change the size of the Price Graph interactively with the mouse
(only when one or more indicator graphs are visible):
1. Move the mouse between the Price Graph and the first indicator
graph until the mouse cursor changes to a double vertical
arrow.
2. Press and hold down the left mouse button.
3. Move the mouse vertically to set the new bottom of the Price
Graph. As you move the mouse, a horizontal line is drawn to
identify the new bottom of the Price Graph.
4. Release the mouse to set the new Price Graph size.
5.27 Changing a Graph's Drawing Style
--------------------------------------
The drawing style for any graph can be changed so that you can
interpret the data more easily. Stable supports three basic drawing
styles; a High/Low Bar graph, a Line graph, and a Histogram. The
High/Low Bar style is available only for the Price Graph.
To change the drawing style for a graph:
1. Select the graph that you want from either the Select Menu of
the chart, by clicking within the graph, or by "tabbing" to
the graph.
2. Select either High/Low Bar, Line, or Histogram from the Graph
Menu on the chart.
-OR-
Click on the associated toolbar button to change the graph's
drawing style.
Procedures 5-12
5.28 Using the Popup Graph Menu
--------------------------------
Stable provides a method by which you can even more effectively use
your technical charts. This method allows you to access some of the
more frequently used graph functions while you concentrate your
attention directly on the graph.
To take advantage of the popup menu support:
1. Move the mouse within any visible graph and click and hold the
right mouse button.
2. If you are running Windows 3.1, you can make a selection from
the popup menu by selecting an item, then releasing the right
button.
Under Windows 3.0, you must make a popup menu selection using
the left mouse button.
5.29 Drag and Drop (Windows 3.1 Only)
--------------------------------------
Stable charts can be opened using a feature specific to Windows 3.1
called "Drag and Drop". By simply selecting a file from the File
Manager, and "dragging" that file with the mouse into the Stable
window or icon, you can easily create new charts without the need to
interact with the New Chart dialog.
Stable supports "Drag and Drop" using two types of historical data
files; CSV and Technical Tools data files. Any other data file
format is ignored by Stable.
Refer to your Windows 3.1 documentation for more information on the
Drag and Drop facility of Windows.
Chapter 6 Data Files
Stable - Technical Graphs can read and chart existing historical
stock market data supplied by you in any of the following formats:
o Technical Tools
o Commodity Systems, Inc. (CSI)
o MetaStock
o ASCII (comma-separated value CSV)
6.1 ASCII Data Files
---------------------
Stable - Technical Graphs can read data files containing "flat"
ASCII information - where each record in the file consists of ASCII
data terminated by a carriage return/linefeed combination. Each
record in the file consists of multiple fields separated by either a
comma (",") or tab character. White space may freely be interspersed
within the data file.
Stable - Technical Graphs itself does not provide facilities for
retrieving or creating the data files that you will graph. However,
ASCII files can be created or generated in a variety of ways:
o Downloading of financial information from online databases such
as Dow Jones News Retrieval and CompuServe. Once retrieved,
this data must usually be editted by you to conform to this
ASCII file format.
o Exporting of data from spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft
Excel or Lotus 1,2,3. For example, if you are using Excel,
simply save your securities data in ".CSV" (comma-separated
values) format with the necessary header information identified
in this section. Read your specific product documentation on
how to save and/or export spreadsheet files.
o Manually using a text editor that can create ASCII file
information. This method would be described as the manual
method of creating data - where you enter the data printed
in your local newspaper or business journal.
Almost any type of data can be graphed using Stable - Technical
Graphs, so long as each line of data contains at least a date and a
closing value. The closing value can represent any numeric value;
such as the daily close for a stock or mutual fund, the prime rate
for that day, or the closing Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Stable - Technical Graphs reads and interprets ASCII numeric values
found in your data files in a variety of formats:
o Floating point decimal values (i.e., 34.65) for data related
to such items as market indexes (i.e., DJIA, SP500), mutual
funds, and various currency information.
Data Files 6-2
o Standard fractional values (i.e., 64 1/8, 20 1/2) for
representing data specific to stocks, options, and corporate
bonds.
o Special fractional values (i.e., 76:18) for data representing
1/32ths; such as Government Agency Issues (ie. FNMA, GNMA,
World Bank) and Treasury Bonds, Notes and Bills.
6.2 General ASCII Format
------------------------
The general format of all ASCII data files that Stable - Technical
Graphs can interpret is as follows:
<Record_Count>
<Format_String>
Data_Record_1
Data_Record_2
-
-
Data_Record_N
<Record_Count> is the number of actual data records in the file
(excluding the <Record_Count> and <Format_String> records).
<Format_String> is a description of the format of each data record
in the file. This string consists of the characters "DVOHLCI" which
specifies both the sequence and type of data fields in each record:
D represents a Date field
This entry can be either 'D' for daily data, 'W' for weekly
data, 'Q' for quarterly data, 'M' for monthly data, or 'Y'
for yearly data.
Additionally, a modifier character can follow the 'D' entry
to identify a specific date format as identified below:
0 = mm/dd/yy (also the default if '0' is omitted)
1 = mmddyy
2 = yy/mm/dd
3 = yymmdd
4 = dd/mm/yy
5 = ddmmyy
V represents a Volume field (or short interest).
O represents an Open field.
H represents a High field.
L represents a Low field.
C represents a Close field.
I represents an Open Interest field.
Data Files 6-3
Data_Record_n represents each ASCII record in the file, up to
<Record_Count> entries. All data records must be of the same field
sequence and contain identical types of fields.
THE FOLLOWING NOTES APPLY TO ALL DATA IMPORTED BY STABLE:
o No numeric values (ie. volume, open, close, etc.) may be
formatted with a comma (e.g. Use 12900 instead of 12,900).
o Holiday data, or any data that includes zero (0) numeric values
for volume, open, high, low, or close should not be included in
any of your data files.
o Data is not adjusted for splits or ex-dividends by Stable.
6.3 Examples
-------------
The following are examples of various ASCII data files which Stable
Technical Graphs can read. Each example is a general representation
of a particular market group. In all examples, the use of the comma
to separate individual fields can be replaced by a tab character in
your actual data.

Chapter 7 Dynamic Data Exchange
This chapter summarizes the Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) support
provided within Stable - Technical Graphs. Much of the discussion
in this chapter assumes you are familiar with the concept of
interprocess communications using DDE in the Windows environment.
The first section 7.1 addresses DDE communications as it relates
to programming in Windows. Section 7.2 describes DDE functionality
as it relates to Microsoft Excel usage.
As an additional aid in understanding DDE communications with Stable,
refer to the file STABLE.XLM for an example of not only communicating
with Excel, but also as a reference to the DDE command structures.
7.1 Programmers Reference
--------------------------
This section assumes that you are familiar with the concepts and
functionality associated with DDE Client/Server communications.
Stable - Technical Graphs functions as a DDE server application;
responding to client applications by providing technical graph
services in the areas of chart display management and real-time
data update.
In the area of display management, Stable - Technical Graphs provides
basic control over the creation and display of technical charts.
o Charts can be opened or created by a DDE client application
through the use of execute transactions issued to Stable within
the "SYSTEM" topic.
o The main Stable logo window can be controlled using DDE execute
transactions. Supported commands allow the window to be
minimized, shown (normal), and closed.
o Individual charts can be controlled visually through DDE
execute transactions. Among the supported command actions are
minimize, maximize, print, show, close, and update.
Real-time data update of Stable charts is also supported. By passing
ASCII data record information conforming to the underlying security's
content, new financial data can be submitted to a Stable chart for
immediate update and display.
7.1.1 Application (Service) Name
---------------------------------
For all DDE communication connections made to either the main Stable
logo window or a Stable security chart, use the name "STABLE" as the
application or service name.
Dynamic Data Exchange 7-2
7.1.2 Topics
-------------
The following application topics are supported by Stable. Generally,
there are two classes of topics; the SYSTEM topic and individual
chart topics.
"SYSTEM"
The "SYSTEM" topic represents the logical data context associated
with the main Stable logo window. It is through a DDE
conversation with the "SYSTEM" topic that visual control of the
main logo window is performed - as well as creating or opening
new Stable technical charts through a DDE conversation.
"<chart_name>"
The "<chart_name>" topic represents a specific Stable chart that
is currently in existence on the Windows desktop. The use of the
label "<chart_name>" in this context represents the actual file or
security name associated with the window, and is found in the
window's caption or title bar.
For example, a chart created from data contained in the
file "DJIA.CSV" results in a "<chart_name>" of DJIA.CSV.
DDE conversations with "<chart_name>" topics allows you to control
the chart's display (ie., minimize, maximize, show, close), the
printing of the chart, and to dynamically add new data into the
chart.
7.1.3 DDE Request Transactions
-------------------------------
A client can send request (XTYP_REQUEST) transactions to a Stable
server in order to receive specific information about the server.
The following request "items" are supported within the "SYSTEM"
topic (or Stable logo window):
SZDDESYS_ITEM_TOPICS
A list of topics supported by the "SYSTEM" topic. Currently
return information is:
"SYSTEM"
"<chart_name>" * For each created chart.
Dynamic Data Exchange 7-3
SZDDESYS_ITEM_SYSITEMS
A list of items supported under the "SYSTEM" topic. The
following information is currently returned:
"SYSITEMS"
"FORMATS"
"TOPICS"
"STATUS"
SZDDESYS_ITEM_FORMATS
A list of clipboard formats supported by the server. At the
present time, the following formats are supported:
"TEXT"
"CSV"
SZDDESYS_ITEM_STATUS
The status of the server (busy or ready).
The following request "items" are supported within a "<chart_name>"
topic (an individual Stable chart):
SZDDE_ITEM_ITEMLIST
A list of items supported by the "<chart_name>" topic. The
currently supported items are:
"TOPICITEMLIST"
"FIELDDEF"
"STATUS"
"NEWDATA"
SZDDESYS_ITEM_STATUS
The status of the server (busy or ready).
"FieldDef"
Returns a description of the data contents associated with
the chart. The returned description is identical to the
description of the <Format_String> described in section 6.2
of "Chapter 6 Data Files".
The importance of the "FieldDef" information is that it
describes the expected format of any ASCII data record
submitted to the chart for the purpose of data update through
a DDE conversation.
Dynamic Data Exchange 7-4
7.1.4 DDE Execute Transactions
-------------------------------
A client can send execute (XTYP_EXECUTE) transactions to a Stable
server in order to perform a command or series of commands.
The following execution "command strings" are recognized by the
"SYSTEM" topic (Stable logo window):
"[MINIMIZE]"
Minimizes the Stable logo window.
"[SHOW]"
Displays the normal Stable logo window.
"[CLOSE]"
Closes the Stable logo window, essentially terminating the
Stable program.
"[OPEN(<type>,<path>,<file>)]"
Opens a new chart. This command is basically the same as
the File New Chart menu selection with the exception that
the associated file information is specified in the execute
command string itself.
<type> represents one of the data file formats supported by
Stable - Technical Graphs.
CSV Comma separated value (ASCII format).
TT Technical Tools data format.
CSI Commodity Systems, Inc. data format.
MS MetaStock data format.
<path> specifies the fully qualified path to the data file
which is to be used in creating the new chart. The file name
itself (if applicable) IS NOT a part of this field.
<file> is the name of the symbol or data file for chart
creation. In the case of CSV and Technical Tools data,
this field represents the actual name of the file on disk.
For CSI and MetaStock data, the field identifies the symbol
description.
EXAMPLE 1: The following execution command string instructs
Stable to open a chart using the CSV data stored in the file
HRB.CSV (H&R Block) located in the C:\MKTDATA directory:
"[OPEN(CSV,C:\MKTDATA,HRB.CSV)]"
Dynamic Data Exchange 7-5
EXAMPLE 2: The following execution command string instructs
Stable to open a chart using the CSI data identified with
"PORK BELLIES" in the C:\QUICK\DATA\MEATS directory:
"[OPEN(CSI,C:\QUICK\DATA\MEATS,PORK BELLIES)]"
EXAMPLE 3: The following execution command string instructs
Stable to open a chart using the MetaStock data identified
with "BOEING" in the C:\MS\DATA directory:
"[OPEN(MS,C:\MS\DATA,BOEING)]"
EXAMPLE 4: The following execution command string instructs
Stable to open a chart using the Technical Tools data stored
in the file SP___88Z.TTT (S&P Dec '88 Tick Data) located in
the C:\TECHTOOL\SP directory:
"[OPEN(CSV,C:\TECHTOOL\SP,SP___88Z.TTT)]"
The following execution "command strings" are recognized by a
"<chart_name>" topic (an individual Stable chart):
"[MAXIMIZE]"
Maximizes the chart window to full screen. This is useful
for when a chart will be printed.
"[MINIMIZE]"
Minimizes the chart window to an icon.
"[SHOW]"
Displays the chart in its last display size.
"[CLOSE]"
Closes the chart's window, effectively removing the chart
from the Windows desktop.
"[PRINT]"
Instructs a chart to print itself to the default system
printer. Before instructing a chart to print itself, the
chart should either be displayed normally, or maximized.
This can be accomplished by issuing the following DDE execute
command string to the chart:
"[MAXIMIZE][PRINT]"
"[UPDATE]"
Instructs the chart to redraw its contents. Normally this
instruction will never be necessary as charts update
automatically when new data is submitted.
Dynamic Data Exchange 7-6
7.1.5 DDE Poke Transaction
---------------------------
A client application can send unsolicited data to a Stable chart
through use of the DDE poke (XTYP_POKE) transaction. This is the
method by which new or real-time data can be submitted to a Stable
chart for display and update.
The item name used to indicate new financial data being submitted to
a chart is the text "NEWDATA".
Data information representing new chart data is passed as an ASCII
string of information conforming to the data field definition for
the chart. The data field definition for a chart can be obtained
by issuing a "FieldDef" request transaction to the chart. The chart
will return a field definition string of the format described in
section 6.2.
Content-wise, an ASCII data string passed to a chart containing
new financial information looks like a single record found in a CSV
data file. Regardless of the data type used to originally create a
Stable chart, ASCII information is the only format supported for
updating a chart.
As an example, assume a chart has been created from a MetaStock data
file - and further assume the data file is associated with the
Dow Jones Industrials. After establishing a DDE conversation with
the chart, you execute a request (XTYP_REQUEST) transaction for
"FieldDef" and receive the data string "DVHLC" (date, volume, high,
low, close).
In order to update the chart with new data, you must first formulate
an ASCII string similar to the following (which represents the field
definition previously returned), and then submit it as the data
portion of the "NEWDATA" poke (XTYP_POKE) transaction:
"04/01/92,32190,3232.45,3209.51,3220.52"
7.2 Stable DDE Communications with Excel
-----------------------------------------
Performing DDE communications directly with Stable through Microsoft
Excel is relatively straight-forward since all of the programming
details are automatically performed for you. Following a simple set
of rules, you can easily communicate with Stable, or any of Stable's
charts, from within a spreadsheet.
For additional information, please refer to the STABLE.XLM macro
file provided with Stable - Technical Graphs. By having Excel
display the actual formulas on the STABLE.XLM macro sheet, you
can actually see examples of working formulas used to communicate
with Stable.
Dynamic Data Exchange 7-7
The following briefly describes some of the macros and formulas used
in the STABLE.XLM macro sheet. Details on how to create proper
formulas and macros within Excel can be found in your Microsoft
Excel documentation.
7.2.1 Open HRB Macro
---------------------
This macro demonstrates how a Stable chart can be created from DDE
commands placed in a spreadsheet. This example requires that
STABLE.EXE be in your "PATH=" statement and that the HRB.CSV file
resides in the C:\STABLE subdirectory (you are free to change the
directory if required in order to access the data file).
=INITIATE(Stable,"System")
Establish a DDE channel with the Stable logo window.
=EXECUTE(channel,"[OPEN(CSV,C:\STABLE,HRB.CSV)])"
Open a new chart using the CSV data file HRB.CSV found in the
C:\STABLE subdirectory.
=TERMINATE(channel)
Terminate the DDE conversation.
=RETURN()
Terminate the macro.
7.2.2 Poke HRB Macro
---------------------
This macro demonstrates a technique for adding data found in a
spreadsheet directly into an existing Stable chart.
* If you want to see the visual results of the data being
added to the HRB.CSV chart, resize Excel and the HRB.CSV
chart so that both are visible on the screen before
executing this macro.
=INITIATE(Stable,"HRB.CSV")
Establishes a DDE conversation with the HRB.CSV chart window.
Dynamic Data Exchange 7-8
=POKE(channel,"NEWDATA",$A12:$E12)
=POKE(channel,"NEWDATA",$A13:$E13)
=POKE(channel,"NEWDATA",$A14:$E14)
=POKE(channel,"NEWDATA",$A15:$E15)
=POKE(channel,"NEWDATA",$A16:$E16)
=POKE(channel,"NEWDATA",$A17:$E17)
This set of instructions retrieves the six rows of financial
data found in the macro sheet and submits each individually to
the HRB.CSV chart. The "$A12:$E12" parameter essentially tells
Excel to format the data in that row as ASCII and comma
separated.
=TERMINATE(channel)
Terminate the DDE conversation.
=RETURN()
Terminate the macro.
7.2.3 Show HRB Macro
---------------------
This macro demonstrates how commands can be issued to a chart in
order to control its appearance.
=INITIATE(Stable,"HRB.CSV")
Establishes a DDE conversation with the HRB.CSV chart window.
=EXECUTE(channel,"[SHOW]")
This command instructs the HRB.CSV chart to display itself.
=TERMINATE(channel)
Terminate the DDE conversation.
=RETURN()
Terminate the macro.
7.2.4 Supported =EXECUTE() Commands
------------------------------------
The list of commands that can be used with =EXECUTE() formula are
explained above in section 7.1.4.
Chapter 8 Technical Indicators
This appendix summarizes those technical indicators found in the
evaluation copy of Stable - Technical Graphs, Version 1.10.
8.1 Moving Averages
--------------------
Generally, moving averages are used to smooth out the data values
used for technical analysis; helping to eliminate both large and
small fluctuations normally found in the data, and to help identify
the directional trend of the data being averaged.
Stable - Technical Graphs supports three different types of moving
average calculations; the simple moving average, the weighted moving
average, and the exponential moving average. Any of these moving
averages can be applied to the base data associated with almost all
graphs found in the product.
The calculation of the simple moving average simply adds together a
number of the most recent data values and divides the resulting sum
by the total number of values being added together. For example, a
ten day moving average is computed as the sum of the ten most recent
data values, divided by 10. In the simple moving average system, all
data values are given an equal "weight" - effectively assigning the
same importance to each data element used to calculate the average.
Some people feel that it would make more sense to assign greater
importance to the more recent data and criticize the simple moving
average for lacking this.
The weighted moving average is similar to the simple moving average
except that each value being considered in the average is assigned a
specific "weight". The greatest weight is assigned to the most
recent data value, while the least weight is given to oldest value.
This has the effect of associating "greater importance" to more
recent data when calculating this average. The assignment of
specific data value "weights" is performed automatically by the
program. Stable uses the method of assigning the ordinal value of
the data item within the list as the weight. Calculating a 5 day
average for example, the first value is multiplied by 1, the second
by 2, the third by 3, the fourth by 4, and the fifth by 5. The five
resultant products are then added together and divided by 15
(1+2+3+4+5) to determine the average.
The exponential moving average is somewhat similar to the weighted
moving average in that the most recent data is also assigned more
importance than data further back in time. However, instead of
"weighting" each individual data value, a "fixed weight" is assigned
to today's (the most recent) value, while all of the remaining weight
is given to the previous value of the exponential moving average
itself. In calculating this moving average, you begin by first
establishing the average as equal to the first day's data, then
moving through the series of data - multiplying each new recent
value by some fixed weight (like 12%) and the previous value of the
average itself by the all the remaining weight (88% in this case).
Technical Indicators 8-2
8.2 Negative/Positive Volume Indexes (NVI/PVI)
-----------------------------------------------
Both the Negative Volume and Positive Volume Indexes are indicators
based upon the premise that trading volume increases when
unsophisticated investors are active in the market, while the so-
called "smart money" investors are busy in the market during periods
of declining volume. The price direction on days of declining volume
may then indicate "smart money" accumulation or distribution if the
change is positive or negative respectively. The primary distinction
between these two indicators is simply which volume move is being
measured.
The NVI calculation is related to negative, or falling volume. When
the volume decreases from the previous period (rising volume does not
affect this indicator), the NVI is adjusted by the percentage change
in the price. Specific to the NVI, long positions are taken when the
indicator crosses ABOVE its moving average.
The PVI calculation is related to positive, or rising volume. When
the volume increases from the previous period (falling volume does
not affect this indicator), the PVI is adjusted by the percentage
change in the price. Effectively, PVI measures what the "uninformed"
masses are doing - and long positions are taken when the PVI crosses
BELOW its moving average.
8.3 On-Balance Volume
----------------------
The On-Balance Volume Indicator (developed by Joseph Granville) is
used to indicate whether an accumulation or distribution of shares
for a security is occurring by studying the security's volume
activity in relation to the price change. The basic theory behind
the OBV indicator is that it tends to exhibit trend changes in
advance of price changes - therefore look for a change in the OBV
trend to suggest a forthcoming change in the price trend.
The OBV indicator is a cumulative total of volume calculated by
adding the entire day's volume to the total if the price rises for
that day, and subtracting the entire day's volume if the price falls
for that day. (See Volume Trend for a variation of this indicator).
8.4 Oscillators (Price and Volume)
-----------------------------------
The Price and Volume Oscillators are indicators representing the
difference between two moving averages of the respective price or
volume data. When plotted, the oscillator rises and falls through
a "zero line" - and represents the actual "crossing" of the two
moving averages.
Technical Indicators 8-3
As the oscillator crosses and moves above the zero line, this
indicates that the first moving average is moving upwards at a faster
rate than the second average. This can be interpreted as a rising
trend and, if the first average is based on a shorter time period
than the second, that the short term trend is currently stronger than
the long term trend.
If the oscillator crosses and moves below the zero line, this is an
indication that the first moving average is falling at a rate faster
than the second average. This can be interpreted as a falling
trend and, if the first average is based on a shorter time period
than the second, that the short term trend is now weaker than the
long term trend.
One way to help visualize an oscillator is to create a Stable chart
containing both a Price Graph (with two moving averages), and a Price
Oscillator Graph based on the same two moving averages. As the
moving averages cross each other on the Price Graph, you will see the
Price Oscillator line cross its zero line.
You can also use an Oscillator graph to track when a single moving
average crosses the data which it is based upon - by setting the
first oscillator unit to 1 and the second to the moving average units
you want to plot. The resultant oscillator graph then shows when the
moving average crosses the underlying data. The higher the
oscillator, the greater the data is above its moving average, and
conversely on the downside.
8.5 Price Channel (Trading Band)
---------------------------------
Available only on Price Charts, the Price Channel or Trading Band is
a special indicator used to envelop price activity within a specific
trading range. The Price Channel is created by calculating a single
moving average (either simple, weighted, or exponential), and then
displaying the moving average line (shifted vertically) an equal
percentage both above and below its calculated value.
While the Price Channel can be manually created using two individual
moving averages, the Price Channel greatly simplifies the task.
8.6 Price Momentum
-------------------
Price momentum is the ratio between today's price and the price some
specified number of units in the past.
High Momentum readings sometimes imply that the security is in an
overbought condition, while extremely low readings may suggest an
oversold situation.
(Today's value - N_units_ago value) * 100
Price Momentum and Price Rate of Change are essentially the same
technical indicator.
Technical Indicators 8-4
8.7 Rate of Change (Price and Volume)
--------------------------------------
The Rate of Change (ROC) is a method used to measure the momentum of
a security. Rate of Change is computed as the percentage change
between today's value (price or volume) and the associated value some
specified number of units in the past.
High Rate of Change readings sometimes imply that the security is in
an overbought condition, while extremely low readings may suggest an
oversold situation.
(Today's close - N_units_ago close) / N_units_ago close
8.8 Volume
-----------
The Volume Indicator displays the security's trading volume as
vertical bars for each day of data. The base value for the Volume
Graph is the lowest volume value for the current graphing period.
8.9 Negative/Positive Volume Trend (NVT/PVT)
---------------------------------------------
The Volume Trend indicators are variations of the basic On-Balance
Volume indicator. The primary difference between these indicators
and the OBV is in what portion of the day's volume is used to
determine the new indicator value. Unlike the OBV (which applies
the entire day's volume), both NVT and PVT use only a portion of
the volume determined as a percentage of the price change from the
previous day. In effect, these indicators consider the magnitude of
the period's price change - whereas OBV does not.
The major distinction between the NVT and the PVT is that the NVT
theorizes that the LESS volume required to move the price, the more
significant is the event. All things being equal, a period of low
trading volume will affect this indicator more than if the same
period was driven by high trading volume. This, in effect, is
similar in concept to the Negative Volume Index - where we're looking
for "smart money" activity in the market.
8.10 Weighted Close
--------------------
The Weighted Close is simply a weighted indicator of the closing
values for a security. It is calculated daily by adding the
security's high and low value to the closing value doubled - then
dividing the result by four.
( (Today's close * 2) + High + Low ) / 4
Technical Indicators 8-5
8.11 Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
-----------------------------------
The Commodity Channel Index, originally developed by Donald Lambert,
is a tool that assists in identifying when an underlying security's
cycle trend is in effect. The indicator is displayed as an
oscillator with major signal lines at +100 and -100. The general
interpretation is that when the oscillator breaks through either
of these lines, it is an indication that the security may be starting
a new trend.
8.12 Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD)
--------------------------------------------------
Developed by Gerald Appel, the MACD is a widely used oscillator
derived from the differential of two exponential moving averages;
a short term average and a longer term average.
In a trending market, the shorter term average will rise or fall
more quickly than the slower long term average, thereby resulting
in a larger difference between the two. By plotting the mathematical
difference of the two averages, an oscillator is created that rises
and falls around a "zero-line". The farther away the oscillator
is from the zero-line, the greater the strength of the trend.
By calculating an exponential average of the oscillator itself,
you have what is described as a "signal line". The time frame
normally used for the signal line ranges from 5-10 days in length.
Basic interpretation theory suggests that buy and sell signals are
generated whenever the oscillator (MACD) line crosses its signal
line. When the MACD line crosses from below to above the signal
line, a buy signal is in effect. When the MACD line crosses from
above to below the signal line, a sell signal is generated.
Experiment with different exponential average periods for the MACD
oscillator and look for divergences between the price action and
the MACD oscillator itself to help identify the most profitable
trading signals.
8.13 Open Interest
-------------------
The Open Interest Indicator displays the security's open interest as
vertical bars for each day of data. The base value for the Volume
Graph is the lowest value for the current graphing period.
Technical Indicators 8-6
8.14 Relative Strength
-----------------------
The Relative Strength graph allows you to compare the price action
between two securities or other financial index - typically used
to compare a security against its associated "index" or base. For
example, you might construct a relative strength graph comparing how
IBM is performing against the DJIA as a whole , or how Exxon is
performing against Chevron.
Calculated simply by dividing the security's value by the comparitive
financial item, the Relative Strength measures the relationship
between the two. An important point to remember is that this
indicator represents the relative relationship between the items,
and does not directly reflect individual price action. As a result,
even if both securities prices are falling, the Relative Strength
line will move upwards if the primary security's prices are falling
less than the relative security.
8.15 Relative Strength Indicator (RSI)
---------------------------------------
The Relative Strength Indicator was developed by Wells Wilder in an
effort to measure the internal strength of a security. Unlike the
Relative Strength graph described above which compares two financial
items, the RSI oscillator determines the momentum strength within
a single security.
The RSI calculation serves to resolve two issues related to the
normal determination of a momentum indicator; the smoothing out
of erratic price movements, and to provide a normalized trading range
for comparison purposes.
The RSI graph presents the indicator as fluctuating between the
values of 0 and 100. Traditionally, lines are drawn on the graph
at the 70 and 30 levels; representing overbought and oversold points
respectively. Once an overbought or oversold situation presents
itself, look for a price trend reversal for an actual buy or sell
signal.
