We have seen an increased interest in technical analysis in the last few months. Excel spreadsheets have been too difficult to develop or too cumbersome to maintain. And they certainly aren't as aesthetically pleasing as some professional packages. I know of one website and one software developer working on tech analysis software tailored to the NSE, but in the meantime, you can work with AptiStock (kudos to naijadr for the hook-up). It's free software you can download here: http://www.aptistock.com/Once you download and install (and yes it worked on my vista machine), go to "Setting" and select "Add/Remove Stock Market". Deselect all the listed markets (unless you wish to use the software to monitor any of the listed markets). In your windows explorer go to C:\Program Files\AptiStock\Data Delete all the data files/folders in there (it will only confuse and clutter your software) You are now ready to upload data from the NSE and become a tech analyst. |

SavvyLanre/Big Jay were kind enough to provide us with open, high, low, close and volume data for all stocks dating back to April 2007. Please let us know if you have data dating back even further. Note this file is only valid till Jan 02, 2008. I will post updated files once a week starting next week.Download the file here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A8P3GNBAIf you wish to update the file by yourself, use an excel macro that Man Jiro wrote. You can find it here and it contains instructions for use. http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-31554.8896.html#msg1814156 |

Now that you have the NSE OLHC/Volume data (named NNSE to avoid confusion with AptiStock's Indian NSE), go through the following steps to import the file.
"Tools"
"Data Downloader"
Under Data Destination, check "Other Market" and input the market name NNSE
Select "Import" at the bottom of the window and the "Import Data from EOD Data File" will come up.
Under "File Select", click on "Browser"
Change file type to "Comma Separated File (*.csv)"
Find the place you saved the NNSE file (which you must have unzipped) and select it.
Click "open"
Back on the "Import Data from EOD Data File" window, click "Import"
AptiStock will spend some time loading the data and creating a CSV file for every stock. Repeat the import process when you get new data and it will append new data to existing stocks. It will also create new symbols for new stocks
Congrats! Your data is now loaded.

To use AptiStock
ON the left panel, select "Files", double-click on NNSE and select any stock. Some charts will come up. To change the type of chart, select the triangle next to VOL and a list of available curves will pop up. Select one and choose "replace".
If, for example, you'd rather see 14 day RSI instead of 11, go to "Tools"/"Indicator Parameter Settings". Under Main Chart Indicator or Sub Chart Indicator, you can tune any indicator to your preference. A brief tutorial on each indicator is even displayed!

If you are new to tech analysis, please download and read the following investopedia article. http://www.investopedia.com/university/indicator_oscillator/If you have not read something on Tech analysis, you will not be able to interpret the chartsPlease do not post kudos/gbosas or topics of other interests here. I intended for this thread to be a resource for getting people up and running ONLY. I'd like to keep it short so things are easy to find. If you have any questions about a particular stock (even if it is a technical question), please go to the most popular thread on nairaland and you'll get an answer. Please don't discuss buy/sell issues.If you have problems installing, loading data, or navigating/tweaking the software, feel free to post here so we can address and improve |

@easimoni,
thanks for this thread. i was actually thinking of something like this thread before i started Learn How To Analysis Nigerian Stocks thread before i saw this.
i personally must confess that when i went through nigeria stock market tip thread, things were just jamming .
and the thread long oh!
any way i started a thread Learn How To Analysis Nigerian Stocks where we could just pick some good stocks and bad stock so to say and analysis them together. we must mustn`t buy the stocks but learn with it.
what do you think??!??

Easibaba - you are da bomb. okurin meta be ko. You are a real treasure, really.
I recently deleted Aptistock from my pc. I just couldn't get it to work. I turned to Metastock, but that required verification. Now with your wonderful tutorial I can boldly venture back into Aptistock.
Thanks ever so much.

Nice weekend
the vibes i got from other thread is that aptistock is not Vista compliant. I stand corrected  . also note that the help section provides a very good guide as to the interpretation of all the indicators. Also note that TA Pro & Deluxe have just been released on www.nigeriansecurities.com. they have data going back 2 years I would be be wary of using TA in isolation without looking at the fundamental analysis & future prospects of the stock. Most of these software were developed with developed / perfect market in mind. From what is happening on some stock on NSE at the moment, you wouldnt touch some stock with a barge pole (from their TA data), but these are the stocks doing very well (albeit 4 now) |

It works fine on my vista machine. The loading data session never seems to end but if you abort it, it seems to have loaded the data just fine. The charts will work okay. I don't know that you can "set" the lines in AptiStock. I simply do some visual inspection and llok for 70/30 or 80/20 |

@ easimoni I just discovered this thread. I have data that goes to Dec 2006 but its too big to upload here. Not too sure of the process for uploading into megaupload but will check it out. I also found out that the help files in Metastock and aptistock are quite elaborate on explaining the indicators. Will upload some pdf i got too. |

@ Man_Jiro,
Megaupload should be easy to use. If you have issues, let me know. Maybe you can email it to me and I'll "megaupload" it.
Should be useful stuff.

@easimoni, Waiting for you to send me an e-mail I can send it to: it might be wise to have all the materials in the space you have created. |

Hi guys,
Check out the the technical analysis tool on nigeriansecurities. They have data as far back as 2007 and you don't have to worry about updating daily data for aptistock if you have gotten aptistock to work.
Unfortunately i have not been able to get aptistock to work making this timely.
I can at least now focus on using the indicators instead of trying to make them work

Thanks: will check it out. I think it would still be wise to use the aptistock/metastock as backup though. You never know when these guy might change their mind about free usage. |

Man Jiro, thanks for the work and the links.  Also agree per your comments; it's only a matter of time before they ask for money for the non-basic versions. |

Did you go through the import process? You can't just copy the NNSE.csv file, you have to import it use the Aptistock data downloader. Message #3 on this thread describes how to import the CSV file into Aptistock. Have u done that? If you have respond and I'll think of something else |
