Jim,

That will only transfer data but not formulas.

Hi,
This is starting to get back onto programming, so I'm going to say that
you might want to export it to CSV and import.

I'd like to take it from excel to mysql or postgresql but don't think
I'll make it there all that easily unless I find some stuff in cpan to
help out.

OK, if you use Excell does that mean you will be using a MsAccess
Database
as the Data Store?

I'll most likely do this with excel or some other spreadsheet program.
One author to look up to learn technical analysis is Richard Pring.  One
of the books he wrote shows all kinds of charts in it and gives
descriptions of those charts and what tends to happen when the
indicators on those charts get hit.  The book is only available in print
and it's a hard cover too.  One other interesting part of that book
deals with using fast fourier transforms to analyze data on individual
stocks and industries as well.

Hay Das: Are you using Excell or is this a Windows or other Language
project? Just wondering as it sounds interesting and I might want to add
it
to my analysis to watch for possible market changes or individual issue
changes by popping up a notification if one of the limits are broken. It

might just be an interesting thing since I have never gotten much into
technicals, Fundementals has been my bread and butter, but technicals
might
be a good adjunct to them from time to time if I am watching to buy or
sell
something.

One algorithm in use by chart analyzers these days takes as input 6
month or 180 day moving average figures then applies the Bollinger curve
to that data which removes the central 97.5% of the data.  When moving
averages either go above or below that 97.5% it's considered a sign that
market direction is about to change.  That 97.5% is 3 standard
deviations and that data gets removed to wipe out the noise.  I haven't
got this particular analysis tool working yet.
