Features

Retrieve

Retrieve historical price, volume, and short interest† data.
Several data handling tools are provided to allow you to easily retrieve, organize, and view stock data. Below is an example which uses the stockasset function to get one years worth of historical stock data from the companies listed in 'StockList', and store it in the variable 'MyStocks'.

Example:

DateRange = '1year';

EndDate   = datevec(now);

StockList = {'DIS', 'PG', 'JPM', 'XOM', 'JNJ', 'GE', 'MSFT', 'EXC', 'MON'};

MyStocks  = stockasset(EndDate,DateRange,StockList);

Analyze

Analyze data with numerous indicator and overlay functions.
Indicators such as MACD, Relative Strength Index, Chaikin Volatility, and overlays such as Keltner Channels, Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci Retracements, provide you with the analytical tools to develop your own trading strategy.

Example 1: MACD

mcd1 = MyStocks.macdiv(13, 26, 9);

figure(1)

clf

indchart(MyStocks,mcd1{1}, 'centered', '3months')

xlabel('Date')

title('MACD','fontweight','bold')

Example 2: RSI

rsi1 = MyStocks.rsindex(14);

figure(1)

clf

indchart(MyStocks,rsi1{1},'banded',[30 70],'3months')

xlabel('Date')

title('Relative Strength Index','fontweight','bold')

Display

coptions = chartoptions('candle','3months');

figure(1)

clf

hgroup = stockchart(MyStocks('GE'),coptions);

xlabel(hgroup(end),'Date')

title('MyStocks: GE','fontweight','bold')

Charting Indicators & Overlays

Customize charts with analytics.
Easily add indicators and overlays to your charts with the addindicator and addoverlay functions.

Example:

accdist = MyStocks.accumdist;

mcd     = MyStocks.macdiv(13,26,9);

stoch	= MyStocks.fullstochosc;

iStock  = 6;

hgroup = addindicator(hgroup,mcd{iStock},'centered','macd');

hgroup = addindicator(hgroup,accdist{iStock},'centered','A/D');

hgroup = addindicator(hgroup,stoch{iStock}(:,[3 4]),'banded',[20 80],'slowstoch');

xlabel(hgroup(end),'Date')

title(hgroup(1),'Add Indicators','fontweight','bold')



bbands = MyStocks.bollingerbands;

addoverlay(hgroup,bbands{iStock},'BBands(20,2)')

title(hgroup(1),'Add Overlay','fontweight','bold')

Multiple Charting

Create multi-chart arrays.
With the 'subplot' argument of the stockchart function, figures with multiple charts are easily created.

Example:

coptions = chartoptions('candle','2months');

nrows    = 2;

ncols 	 = 4;

accdist  = MyStocks.accumdist;

mcd      = MyStocks.macdiv(13,26,9);

stoch	 = MyStocks.fullstochosc;

bbands   = MyStocks.bollingerbands;

nStocks  = length(MyStocks);

figure(1)

clf

for i = 1:(ncols*nrows)

  if i>nStocks, break, end

  hgroup = stockchart(MyStocks(i),coptions,'subplot',[nrows ncols i]);

  addoverlay(hgroup,bbands{i},'BBands')

  hgroup = addindicator(hgroup,mcd{i},'centered','macd');

  hgroup = addindicator(hgroup,accdist{i},'centered','A/D');

  hgroup = addindicator(hgroup,stoch{i}(:,[3 4]),'banded',[20 80],'slowstoch');

end
