Welcome

Patterns© permits you to view stock market data in real time, as a column list or as charts (in any time framework), make trades, both based upon automatic conditions and manual input. Its design was to incorporate technical analysis signal files, and to test these signal concepts, by visually by viewing charts or by running historical tests using the stock market database.

Accounting tool to record all trades, real or simulated, along with P&L and fees, to perform summaries (hourly, yearly, per stock, per account, or whatever), and issue reports.

This program was written by a software programming expert, along with a stock and commodity expert. It contains features unique to technical analysis. The program makes use of databases and user-friendly interfaces.

The theory is based upon Andrews: http://www.precisiontrader.com/

The program permits you to view charts of live interday or daily data. The charts include a small signal library that draws signals using geometric analysis, in addition to the standard algebraic analysis. You can test signals by going back in time to see the geometry then. You can run historical tests to see which system is the most profitable and has the smallest drawdown.

Using mathematical formulas, various points called pivots are created on the chart of the commodity. Lines are drawn between select points. The behavior of the chart with respect to these lines determines the signals. Groups of signals act together to form a system. You can run historical tests with various systems to determine which gives the greatest profits after commissions, without large drawdowns. You can look at daily stocks, or intraday stocks in real time.

The unique features of this software are the following:

       1. The use of geometric techniques in addition to algebraic (various types of means) in analysis

       2. The ability to run historical tests to find the best system

       3. Success based on profits and small drawdowns, not profits only, as is the case with most systems

       4. Can be used to capture real time data, and perform analysis in real time

       5. Can be set to run automatically, printing out orders.

      6. The ability to view and chart sectors

       7. You can view a chart in the past, with the pivots and lines valid for that day. See: Day at a time

       8. Accounting and summaries of trades, both real and simulated

In addition, the program permits you to do the usual things:

       1. View a list of stocks and the real time prices

       2. View charts of stocks, updated in real time, with various indicators and time frames (hourly, weekly, etc.)

       3. Export data to text and pdf files.

       4. Trade

      5. Receive alerts via e-mail, screen messages, beeper. Will automatically trade if you choose.

A unique and very important feature is the ability to examine your trading history including maximum drawdowns. This feature is not found anywhere. It is important not only to know your profits and losses in the past, as a guide to examining your trading strategies. Maximum drawdowns are also critical. If a stock drops too far from a recent high, there is a point where we cannot tolerate the loss and sell. Examining the maximum drawdowns gives you a feel for how you can tolerate your trading strategies, and how you must adjust them.

Enjoy this very unique and wonderful program. Use it to make money!

Thank you very much.
