Oscillators / Super-oscillators
ASA provides for three categories of Oscillators - (1) Price-based (2) Volume-based and (3) Advance-decline-based.
Further, ASA introduces "Super-Oscillators", which are able to generate instant signals, faster than the original oscillators.
The advance-decline-based oscillators can change base to advance-decline of a particular industry or group. You can have A/D ratios for Sensex group, A Group, B1 group, etc. separately. More than 400 such groups are pre-defined in the package for your ready use.
Huge Data-base of News Clippings & Financial Results
Besides the technical analysis, the package has a good amount of fundamental information giving more than ten periods of financial results for each of the companies.
Further, ASA includes a data-base of news clippings from various newspapers/magazines, which are arranged chronologically, separately for each of the company.
These data-bases of fundamental information are updated on daily basis by the ASA team. The companies are neatly classified into more than 100 industry groups, and the industry-wise information can be seen separately.
Index Generator
The Index Generator facility happens to be a unique feature of the package. The user can generate index of any set of stocks using his own base-date and weightages.
In addition, more than 250 ready-made indices are provided. These are defined for different industry groups, business houses, etc.
Dynamic Query Module
The Query module in ASA is exceedingly dynamic, fast and simple to use. It provides for user-definable query terms and report formats. There are more than 500 technical/fundamental terms to be used as criteria for short-listing the stocks. These terms can also be used as report columns. Besides, user may dynamically define any number of terms on his own, based on values, volumes, dates, periods, offsets, etc. to get the information required by him.
The user can also get shortlists based on more than 200 technical signals straightaway. For example, he can instantly shortlist stocks showing MACD cutting its trigger line or scrips having Dark Cloud Cover pattern on any query date.
At a time, 20 report columns with 20 short-listing conditions can be run simultaneously, combining Technical values and Technical signal with the Fundamental terms into one single query.
ASA even allows user to get shortlists based on news clipping, say searching for a particular product or word. There is also a Super-query module, which allows running of more than one query sets at a time. User can also get ranking of stocks, for example, on the basis of the value of RSI or EPS.
Pattern-Matching
The pattern-matching module of ASA allows user to save any part of a chart as pattern, so that a similar pattern may be automatically searched on other charts, with user-definable matching tolerance, if required.
Simulation Game
The Simulation Game lets the user to test his own technical skills under the real life scenario, by placing hypothetical buy\sell orders and optimising trading profits, through system testing. Two different players can play the same chart at the same time to see who makes bigger profits.
Portfolio
User can enter his Buy/sell transaction and see the same marked on the chart itself. He can also calculate potential profits and portfolio valuation on any date.
Print Options
The charts can be printed off-line, where printing goes on even while one is using the package. The chart can also be printed in GIF formats for DTP/internet use.
