ChartNexus is a stock analysis software that runs in Windows Operating Systems. It is a tool more to technical analysis than fundamental analysis. I used this software long time ago but stopped for a long period due to my journey to New Zealand. I’m now re-learning to use this software again and maybe can learn to create my own “formula” to buy stock.
It is a pretty good software, written in Java language and runs like a normal Windows application where it’s performance is pretty impressive. The software itself is free. The use the software, you will need to signup as a member at ChartNexus website, activate your account and download & install the ChartNexus.
If you have install Java Plugin before in your PC, you can download the setup program without Java installer (3.45Mb) which is much smaller than the full version with Java installer (16.9Mb).
The software is not only for beginner because many professional can use the tool to test their own “formula” too by using the XPertTrader in ChartNexus. XpertTrader allow you to test your own defined formula against the historical stock data.Â
When you first installed the software, you can download past 3 years stock data for free. The stock market data available are such as BSE (India), Bursa (Malaysia), SGX (Singapore), US markets – AMEX, NASDAQ & NYSE. If you have installed the software 10 years ago, the you can test your formula against 10 years’ stock data for free.
