Hello again Stig:
<<My question is: Which version of Nature's Pulse did you use for the
presentation of the attached gif file?
Drawing trendlines and writing text are some of the items I have been
missing in my version (4.0 I think).>>
We have the same version of Nature's Pulse (NP). Version 4.0 does not have
the ability to draw trendlines, add text, or overlay moving averages. I'm
sure someone has suggested this as a consideration for the next version.
I still run Windows 3.1, and run NP with a little "graph" icon, from within
Windows. Never had any stability problems. Don't know about Windows 95
compatibility.
As you may or may not know, when running in Windows (even with a Dos
program) pressing the "Print Screen" button puts whatever is on the screen
onto what is called
the "clipboard". Think of it as "screen memory". This screen shot can be
put into any other Windows program that will permit you to "Paste" from the Ed
it function. I use a very simple shareware program called Paint Shop Pro
ver. 3.11, available on most bulletin boards. Certainly AOL. Very flexible
and simple. I add those additional features from within this program. After
doing my analysis, complete with impotant trendlines, I can save the image as
a GIF, or any of two dozen other graphic types (JPG, PCX, BMP etc.). I
usually have the critical section of the image running in a small window
against a live graph of the security. AOL generates live graphs (2 minute
delay) of the Dow, S&P, Nasdaq, and live quotes on OEX, XAU and a dozen other
Indexes.
I'm not a professional trader obviously, but the data available through AOL
certainly can keep you up to date inexpensively.
Regards,
Peter
