Dear Saint,
How are you? So are u back in India now or still settled in Singapore. I have a friend who recently moved to singapore and is working with UBS. So what do u do there? Sorry if you do not want to answer personal question just want to know more about the people on the forum. I am thinking of starting a thread where everyone can write about themselves. Would be nice to know about all masked friends
Ok back to technicals. I am slowly trying and learning how to fish. I have bought myself a fishing rod now. Got metastock. Well friend loaded on my computer. But I promise to get an orignal one once I am more comfortable with it.
I had a few questions to help me put worms on my hook.
1) How do we change from arithmetic to logirmethic scale.
2) When I open a chart on the metastock it shows a stock from 2004
onwards. How can i change the period of the charts.
3) How do we use histograms on MACD. I mean I want to plot The difference
between the MACD and signal line. And also It gives me the option to
change the time period for the signal line( which is 9). But i am not able to
change the time period of the two moving averages used to plot MACD.
4) can you guide me what time periods should I use for the three simple
indicators( RSI, MACD, Stochastics). Right now I am using 14 days for
RSI. Stochastics 5 and 3. Signal line 9 and I am not sure what period it is
using for the plotting the MACD. And should we us different time periods
for daily charts, for weekly charts and for monthly charts. Also do they
change if market is volatile. If yes could pls briefly note them down for me.
I know these are too many questions but would help to get a start with my software.
Rgds
