Free Charting Software

I also used Gannalyst Lite.You can download historical data from NSE website in CSV format.

i. Open it in excel .keep only those records which are required for it i.e. date,open high low close and volume.
ii. Fix the format of date properly and save the file with a new name so you dont loose other data.
iii. open Gannalyst Lite . On the menu bar click Data and in the drop down menu select import data from text file.
iv. in the dialogue box select the file type as .csv ( it can be text also but you have to save data as text).
v. Go to the folder you have saved your file in and select your file.
vi. Skip the first line .
vii. test the data. Mostly date format may be the problem in the begninning but once you get it right data conversion will be hassle free.
viii. Save as a suitable file and data will be converted to Gannalyst.

you can use it as you like it. For excel sheet you can use a macro recorder to routinise the formating of data for conversion.

If you face any difficulty I can help.

thanks

Hi I am a newbie to share market & I have never used a charting software. I downloaded Gannalyst & tried using it. But I am not able to import data into it. I may sound foolish but, I have a doubt regarding the scrip code. The software says the ticker data is not necessary. Then how come it prepares the chart without a scrip code? I am really stuck in that. I have the bhavcopy from BSE form 01/01/2009 to till date. Also I want to know how to set the date as the .csv file doesn't have a date field in it, though it reflects the date in the file name.

A step-by-step procedure with a little explanation regarding the software will be of immense help to me. Can anybody please help me in this regard.
