Hello, I am the author of a technical stock analysis program called `gChartman', and I think it might be interesting to discuss wether some kind of gnucash/gchartman interoperability would make sense. The pogram is hosted at http://gchartman.sourceforge.net. First I'd like to give everyone a quick overview over my program: Overview -------- gChartman's main purpose is to display stock charts and to apply technical analysis tools to them. It uses a MySQL database as backend to store stock quotes. Currently, stock quotes can only be fetched from videotext pages which are captured using alevt-cap (from the AleVT program distribution). Ofcourse you need a bttv-compatible tv tuner card for this to work. Indicators are implemented as modules and the following are provided (more are planned): - Moving Average - RSI (Relative Strength Index) - Momentum - Buy/Sell (displays orders on the chart) - Trendline (user positionable) - Comment (displayed on the chart) Take a look at the screenshots on gChartman's site to see these in action. Once a configuration of different indicators has been created, it can be saved either as a `local' or a `global' configuration. Local configurations are managed per-stock, and global configurations are available for every stock. Development ----------- Currently I am working on making chart modules stackable (à la Moving Average of RSI of stock) and on putting configuration data into xml files instead of putting it into the database. I am late with the next release, but I think I will have it ready for this weekend. Planned is also a modularization of data sources and a heap of other stuff. I have to admit that I'm currently not using gnucash. But I think some kind of interoperability might be interesting. I'm thinking along the lines of quote exchange, or being able to view a chart in gChartman from gnucash's stock register. I am open to any ideas. Please keep in mind that gChartman is still pretty much alpha quality software. There are a lot of ideas, but there's not much time to implement them. I'm looking forward to hear your ideas and opinions. I'm not on this mailing list, please CC me in your replies.
