Introduction
Qtstalker is a basic end of day Technical Analysis package with many
features. It compares with similar commercial products like Metastok,
Superchartz, Tradestation(...maybe one day) etc. If you are familiar
with those, then you should be able to muddle along with Qtstalker.
The project has kept to a lean and simple design philosophy in order
to maximize speed, portability and resource usage.
Features:

MACD, RSI, MA's, Bollinger Bands etc.
- 6 chart types including line, bar, candlestick, point and figure,
paint bars and swing.
- A really, really, really crappy portfolio manager. Good for
tracking open positions.
- Quote plugins that download data from many sources like Yahoo,
CME, NYBOT etc.
- Chart drawing objects like trend lines, buy and sell arrows,
text, horizontal and vertical lines, Fibonacci retracement lines.
- Chart compression types like daily, weekly and monthly.
- Support for investment types like stock, futures, index and
spreads.

and log.
- Plugin system for quotes and indicators for future extensibility.
