Hi! vinaynaik
Great to come across another Linux user who is an active investor/trader
I use RedHat8 as my current Linux distro.
I use Qtstalker as my EOD stock analysis software.
You can download the source code from here
http://qtstalker.sourceforge.net/
You have to compile it as binaries are provided only for Debian.
Apart from Linux machine, it requires Qt ver > 3.2
It is included in Debian Sarge distro.
You have to use it.!
Though it is not as extensive and polished as Metastock but for GPLed software for Linux it is worth a try.
Features: ( as per the docs )
A point-and-click object-oriented graphical user interface.
Chart plugins include line, bar, candlestick, point and figure, and swing.
Customizable colors. Logarithmic and linear arithmetic scaling. Scale to screen.
Indicators plugins include MACD, MAs, Bollinger Bands, RSI, and dozens more.
Chart drawing objects: trendlines, buy/sell arrows, horizontal and vertical lines, fibonacci retracement lines, text.
Quote plugins download data from online sources such as Yahoo, CME, NYBOT.
Data import plugins for plain-text CSV files and MySQL database.
The "Plugin" architecture for quotes and indicators enables easy future extensibility.
Daily, weekly and monthly chart compression (intra-day in development)
Various data classes to support for investment types such as stocks, futures, indices, ratios and spreads.
A back testing function allowing indicator performance tests using actual trading data.
A very basic portfolio manager. Good for tracking open positions. (Suggestions welcome.)
A Scanner that can scan the qtstalker database for charts that meet a user defined criteria
Regards!
