    Does anyone know of a software program that will do the following:

    You enter a ticker symbol,enter a date(using the 1-minute chart),

    Enter another symbol,enter a date(will probably be different) and it will overlay/add
    to first symbol's chart.

    Continue adding symbols until there is a couple of hundred(or more) on the page all overlaying themselves.

    These will be expressed as lines...not candlesticks or bars.

    I'm not very tech savvy and not familiar with the software programs out there. I could pull some useful info from such a program if it exist.Thanks.

    Yahoo finance will do that.

    You sure? For different dates? Example; I want a daily chart for FSTX on dec 21,then overlay the daily for YEXT for dec 1,then overlay the daily for VTYX for dec 13,and so on and on...

    I would think something like that would be pretty easy for a software engineer to create,but maybe I'm wrong. You're basically just drawing the chart for different ticker symbols on different days on onion skin tracing paper and laying them on top of each other,but doing it virtually on a software program of course.
     
  6. Sounds like you're looking for "confirmation from a number of inputs to agree upon a safe place to buy/sell..."

    Unfortunately the greater the number of inputs, the less likely you'll find them in agreement.

    And while traders (especially noobs) often want and seek "confirmation"... to feel it's safe to make a risk play... there is actually no such thing as confirmation.

    The best chance you have (and I've said it perhaps a hundred times) is learn to
    Buy Support
    Sell Resistance
    Chase Breakouts
    Trade with stops.

    If support/resistance "holds", it means something. Trade on the right side of it.

    If support/resistance "breaks", it also means something.

    That's "Price TA"... best chance you (or any of us retail screen jockeys) have.

    KISS, baby... as always. :)

    ^^^^^ Not really looking for confirmation (maybe commonality?). Entries would be very select must fit a very specific profile/criteria.
     
  8. The tighter your "fit a specific profile/criteria", the less likely you are to find what you seek.

    Could be done in Excel but I can't think of a reason why I would want to do it. Especially for a couple of hundred symbols. :wtf:
