[tab:Identifying Trends]
chart1

Using 20 days highest high and lowest low, the chart above identifies the starting points of trends and mark them with triangles.

The triangles are actually plotted by an indicator. In addition to the traditional line and histogram plot styles, NeoTicker® EOD's indicators offer many more plot styles to meet different requirements.
[tab:Renko and Kagi Charts]
renkokagi

Renko and Kagi charts are specialized chart types for identifying support and resistance levels and reducing data noise.

Renko and Kagi charts are built into NeoTicker® EOD. NeoTicker® EOD has the unique capability to display these charts in the same window with regular candlesticks. Cross comparing Renko and Kagi formations with regular data is never easier.

NeoTicker® EOD's indicator-on-indicator technology is so flexible you can apply indicators, and even trading systems, on Renko and Kagi charts. It opens up new analytical methods that are not possible on other platforms.

NeoTicker® EOD includes other specialized chart types - Three Line Break, Point and Figure and our own Superposition Charts.
[tab:Identifying Volume Breakout]
volumebreakout

The chart on the left is an example of a volume breakout signal that is based on average volume over 20 days. Breakouts are identified by vertical markings.

NeoTicker® EOD's flexibility allows you to easily put together an identification signal just like this. Most customization can be done with simple formulas.

In this example, the volume breakout signal is an application of the highlight bar indicator, with the highlight condition set by a simple one-line formula.
[tab:Volume Profiling]
volumeprofile

Volume Profile lets you visualize volume traded at different price levels over a period of time.

Volume Profile reveals information that is not obvious from standard volume data. It's a great tool to help determining support and resistance levels.
[tab:END]

You can create your own indicators by programming NeoTicker® EOD.

NeoTicker® EOD provides different programming models for different tasks - formulas for simple tasks, scripts for complex tasks and IDL interface to external programs for ultimate scalability.

All three models share the same indicator framework. Indicator calculation is performed by a common engine for maximum consistency. Indicators created with one model can be reused by all.

NeoTicker® EOD offers a full suite of tools for writing, testing and analyzing trading systems. You can perfect your trading ideas before putting them into practice. Better yet, unlike most competing products, you do not have to write complex programs to create trading systems. You can simply specify your entry and exit conditions in the easy-to-use Backtest EZ trading system, run the trading system on your choice of instrument, and use NeoTicker® EOD's performance viewer to statistically analyze the results.

[tab:Backtest EZ]
backtestez

With Backtest EZ, you focus on the logic of a trading system, not the details. Writing trading system is as simple as specifying the entry and exit conditions.

The example shows a trading system that enters a long position when the price is above 20 days highest high. The system exits the position when a target of $0.50 is hit.

As for the condition formula, an indicator wizard is provided so you don't even have to memorize indicator parameters.
