Global and local configurations |
You can save the chart configuration that you created in two different places: As a global configuration that can be applied to any stock, or as a local configuration that can be applied only to the stock it has been saved for. Usually you will create a global configuration first, using moving averages for example, then add trendlines and channels to it and save it as a local configuration. |
Modular chart interface |
Every element of a chart is created by a chart module. This allows for easy addition
of new modules. Currently included are: |
Reliable videotext interpreting |
Never lose quotes again! In case of errors in videotext pages, gChartman asks you to correct the faulty data. You are also notified if a new stock appears. gChartman is (to a certain degree) immune to videotext layout changes. |
Categories |
Categories allow you to manage your stocks efficiently. You can easily put all the stocks from one videotext page into a category that is appropriate for them. |
Free quote retrieval through videotext |
For now this is the only way of getting Quotes. You need to have a TV tuner card supported by bttv and the alevt-cap program which is distributed with alevt. |
