Many applications can export their chart data to Excel, placing each time series in a separate column. TechniCell80 can process time-series data in any market, and in any time frame. All results are placed in user-specified spreadsheet columns, and can then be exported as text files and via DDE to applications that import data from Excel spreadsheets. This is perfect for preprocessing market data for trading systems and forecast models.

TechniCell80 provides a basic command menu for accessing all 80 indicators. Although the user can specify all parameter values, popular defaults are provided for quick access. 

Jurik Research is now offering a trial version of the TechniCell80 indicator toolkit for Excel 97 and Excel 2000.

Delivered through E-mail and available on the Website via ticker search, these features allow the ability to search for pertinent news and headlines by ticker symbol.

Historical volatilities -- including a 20-, 50- and 100-day and a current implied volatility -- can be downloaded from OptionStrategist.com. Option Wizard Online then processes the 3,500 rows of data to link with any ticker symbol the user chooses -- with a one-button click. Next, the user downloads the options chains. Enter the option price and click to calculate implied volatility. Option Wizard calculates the implied volatility posted directly above the historical volatilities to make it easier to determine whether your option is under-, over- or fairly priced. Option Wizard then calculates the next 36 stock prices. 

The user selects his strike from the drop-down box. Similarly, Option Wizard calculates percent-to-double with one button click -- that is, the percent that the underlying must move for the option price to double. To analyze the profit/loss picture on any options position, the user clicks the appropriate button, then edits the sample data to match his position. Profit/loss is shown in table and chart form. 

The Option Wizard Trading Method QuickGuide may be downloaded as an Acrobat document from https://option-wizard.com/OWOQG.pdf.

SectorEngine is a Java-enabled platform that allows registered users access to SECTORBASE.com's proprietary sector indices that are calculated continuously throughout the trading day. 

With this application, users can trace price movements in an industry, sector, or group and determine what product areas are moving that particular market. For example, if a semiconductor company announces the launch of a new technology during the trading day, SectorEngine can follow how the corresponding price movements of that company and its competitors affect the sector as a whole. 

Indices are sorted by sector, gainers, decliners, and most active, and users can choose particular indices and create their own customized list in an area called MySectorEngine. With delayed equity prices updating the indices continuously, users can view last value, daily change, 52-week high/low, as well as the percent change rank for today, last month, last three months, and year-to-date. 

SECTORBASE.com's 15,000 product- and service-specific indices are calculated on an arithmetic, geometric, or market capitalization-weighted basis. Currently, SECTORBASE.com closely follows the finance, healthcare, media, and technology sectors.

Snapshot WebHeatmaps is designed primarily for daytraders and retail investors, who can quickly access large amounts of financial market information and positioning in real time over the Internet using a standard browser. 

Heatmaps are live pictures that organize large amounts of financial market information and positions it into colored cells or spots. The graphic format is designed to be easier to recognize than text-based financial information. Snapshot WebHeatmaps processes this financial information and outputs a Heatmap display as an HTML/DHTML/JavaScript that can be embedded into other Website content. Since browsers already know how to render HTML, unlike Java, no download occurs and investors can see a Heatmap instantaneously.

WebHeatmaps take advantage of large amounts of time-sensitive financial information from numerous real-time data vendors such as Bloomberg, Bridge, Data Broadcasting Corp., Reuters, and TIBCO, presenting the information through visual interfaces. Heatmaps organize financial information into a matrix of cells. The color of each cell is determined by custom analysis that is applied to the matrix. As Heatmaps receive information from real-time datafeeds, the color and intensity of the cells change relative to each other. 

Snapshot WebHeatmaps can be accessed at FlexTrader.com, an investor research Website. FlexTrader.com offers more than 20 technical trading systems that can be backtested, as well as detailed graphing and charting, market news, and fundamental research. FlexTrader.com provides its subscribers with buy/sell alerts through E-mail and wireless paging devices.
