What is Market Analyst?
In
simplest terms, Market Analyst is a Technical Analysis Package suitable
for traders who are trading stocks, futures, currencies - in fact any
security from any exchange in the world. Market Analyst was designed
for those not born with a silver Microsoft mouse grafted in their right
hand - as such it is one of the easiest software programs that you will
ever use.
Market
Analyst will provide you with many features that have been designed to
make your analysis easier and to save you time. For instance the
‘Layers Panel’, which allows you to put different technical indicators
on different layers on your chart – helping you to organize your
technical analysis. Another feature is ‘Transparency’ which can be
applied to all charts and technical analysis. Often a stock chart can
become cluttered with the analysis that is applied to it. Market
Analyst allows you to adjust the transparency of your analysis so that
it “fades”– keeping the underlying chart uncluttered.

So What Exactly is Techincal Analysis?
Technical
Analysis (also known as Charting) is a method of analysing the
historical data of a security. The analysis itself is usually some sort
of mathematic formula that is calculated for every day in the history,
this then creates a plot on the chart. The technical analyst interprets
this information to make their trading decision.
At
one level, technical analysis charting is all about probabilities. For
example, if when analysing the historical data of a security, you find
that 90% of the time a certain technical indicator changed direction
just prior to a change in trend of that security, there is a high
probability that a change in trend will follow, if you now see that the
technical indicator has just turned again, you have a statistical basis
for predicting the next change in trend.
A software program like Market Analyst is often referred to as a Technical Analysis Package. We prefer to call it a "Trader's Toolbox".
The reason we call it a Toolbox is that Market Analyst contains many
different Technical Analysis techniques that will allow you to apply
the right technique to the right market just like using a hammer
(instead of a saw) on a nail!
The
accomplished technical analyst knows how to apply the techniques, and
more importantly, knows how to interpret the analysis to make educated
trading decisions. An important word of caution though - just as
inexperience with tools in a toolbox can cause a lot of harm (remember
the first time you used a hammer?), so using technical indicators
without a thorough understanding of how to use them can cause you a lot
of financial harm. This is why we recommend that our clients seek
educators and/or education that can teach them how to trade with
technical analysis.
What Technical Analysis Techniques are Included?
Market
Analyst includes many of the common Technical Analysis techniques such
as moving averages, oscillators, and momentum indicators such as RSI's.
Market Analyst also includes many unique techniques like Market Price
Analysis, which is a Market Profiling tool. Time Price Labels which
allow you to do extensive Time and Price analysis, and finally the Gann
methods which can add a whole new dimension to your trading, are also
included within Market Analyst.

Scanning the Market
Market Analyst includes a Scanning Manager
that allows you to define exactly what condition you are searching for.
Based on those criteria, it will scan the market to see if any
securities match the criteria and rank them in order for you. This will
save you hours of laborious manual scanning and allow you to trade many
more markets.
The
Scanning Manager is also the ideal tool for back testing your trading
strategy. Using the Scanning Manager, select any past time period and
find stocks that passed your criteria in the specified time range.
Market Analyst can then be used to open those companies at that date.
Using the Market Analyst training mode feature you can then add a
series of bars onto the chart to determine profitability of your
trading plan.
