How to encrypt & password protect jstock and supporting data's (Ubuntu)

Is there any inbuilt feature in jstock to encrypt and password protect jstock GUI and its data. I want to personalize jstock and wants to prevent others using my computer to access jstock.

Adding Analyst ratings/buy,sell recommendation in stock watchlist (for researching stocks)

Hi,
First of all, i start to like JStock the more i use it, can do almost anything i want it to do.

Im basically missing 1 thing, something like (or all :)

• yahoo financial: 1 year target price
• msn money stockscouter rating (1-10)
• 4-trader investor rating (or short term trading rating)
• reuters consensus recommendation

As a column or columns in the stock watchlist.

So i can more quickly determine if i should buy a stock for the long run, instead of short term RSI for example.

It might also be possible to calculate a rating from a bunch of indications/company stats/eps (im not an expert) available from the data of yahoo finance. Some of the above ratings have been calculated that way.

Is this possible?

thanks anyway already for this great program.

regards,
klaas-jan

How to get MACD chart and historgram in jstock ubuntu

I am using jstock in my ubuntu system . I uses MACD chart and histogram to study the trading of a stock. MACD is considered as an important tool for trading stocks but I am unable to find MACD option under technical analysis. It has RSI, EMA, MFI but no MACD tool. Is there a way to add MACD chart and histogram to the technical analysis chart?

[Bollinger Band] is mean deviation same as standard deviation?

I am trying to make a bollinger band indicator in jstock editor. Currently I am trying to create the upper line using this formula

Upper line = SMA(20)+2*20-day-Standard deviation

the problem is i cant find a standard deviation from the editor option instead i got Mean deviation.
Are both same or different?

Program upgrades

If I wanted to make changes to Jstock with a programmer how can I submit changes back to jstock? Thanks

Where is the central repository to add indicators?

I would like to add a bunch.
But i presume there should be a lot more available than the basic 5 that are downloadable now.

Use case:
On a side note for documentation, how do you run back tests with Jstock ?

I want to create an elaborate indicator with buy and sell orders.
Execute them at the appropriate time.
Get a list off all the transactions(trigger time, all parameters at that time, price and so on) if that strategy was active for the last x time/days(365) or interval from x to y
And see the total result of the indicators for evaluating its overall soundness
A nice graph to get a visual feel for spikes or gabs

kind regards and keep up the good work.

suggestion: CSV Import transactions Wizard

Importing trade transactions is not documented, not intuitive and really cumbersome. Unfortunately, most traders have long list of trades changing frequently and updating them one by one is an excruciating task...

A simple wizard to guide through the import process could change it all!

Thanks! Great project!

Discussion: News feature is impressive

Hi guys,
I have updated to latest version of jstock and the new news feature is pretty impressive. Now I dont have to visit other sites to see important news regarding a stock. Loading of the news is also fast(i have slow internet connection).

Any way keep up the good work

Suggestion for chart indictors

Currently jstocks have only a few number of chart indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI etc) which are very basic. I know that creating new indicators is a time consuming process and i have these suggestion towards that problem.

The best solution to this problem is a indicator creator/editor with lite programming.

Example.

This code plots MACD chart in tradingview website

study(title="Moving Average Convergence/Divergence", shorttitle="MACD")
source = close
fastLength = input(12, minval=1), slowLength=input(26,minval=1)
signalLength=input(9,minval=1)
fastMA = ema(source, fastLength)
slowMA = ema(source, slowLength)
macd = fastMA - slowMA
signal = sma(macd, signalLength)
hist = macd - signal
plot(hist, color=red, style=histogram)
plot(macd, color=blue)
plot(signal, color=orange)

instead of creating more indicators in jstock, jstock should improve its scanner editor (instead of blocks use some lite programming) and also add a chart indicator editor to the chart thus users can themselves create indicators and upload to jstock website.

Stock split issue

Take a look at Apple (AAPL) Stock after the split mid this year. It looks like the stock has fallen drastically on the chart when it did not. This is a giant issue and needs to be fixed. This is not the only stock this has happened with. I know this occurs with at least stocks that have been split.

Thanks,
Glen

JStock 1.0.7i start script coding issue (jstock.sh)

Hi,

Just downloaded the latest Jstock from SourceForge (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jstock/jstock-1.0.7i-bin.zip). After unzipping, executing the jstock.sh always gives the complain:
bash: ./jstock.sh: /usr/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

After converting the file format from DOS to UNIX, the problem is resolved. My system is Ubuntu 13.10. It looks like the files were zipped under a Windows machine and may have LR/CF issue under Linux.

Please check it out.

Features request for future versions

ANY JSTOCK USERS WITH ANY GOOD IDEA FOR JSTOCK CAN ADD DETAILS OF FEATURES REQUIRED IN THIS POST

Hi guys i recently came across jstock and immediately felled in love with this software. The best thing in this software is its free, multi-platform, high speed of execution and user interface. I have tried many free and premium (obviously; pirated :)) softwares for trading and this is the best of them all. Any way I know this project is handled by a few number of people and you have constraint of time but if you have enough time please consider these options.

• Enable copying text from watchlist window (eg name of the stock)
• Import custom stock details from csv to jstock (mentioned in my previous post)
• Acessing stock pages in google/yahoo finance (mentioned in my previous post)
• Advance Charting tools and indicators (current chart is basic lacks many indicators such as MACD, Bollinger etc)
• Enable editing of x and y axis of chart (Zoom in and out are not perfect)
• Movable chart using mouse in x and y direction instead of zoom in and out
• Enable individual re-sizing of multiple charts inside a window (eg for stock with candle-stick, rsi charts we are unable to resize candle stick and rsi charts individually)
• Improve Stock indicator editor (eg adding more programming functions such as loops, function)
• Algorithmic trading (Buy/Sell)
• Back-testing strategies
• When multiple watch list exists; Add stocks from scanner to a particular watch list
• Enable cut-copy-paste inside the stock indicator editor

Having problem with the connection with the server

Before this it work as it should. but now when I try to use the screener, it does not retrieve any data from the server. When i switch to different network, i can retrive the data for a while, but still after a period of time it facing the same problem

The same problem when i try to manually retrieve the data. it only show failed to retrieve the data.

Is it the problem with the server or i should change the setting on my side?
Btw. keep on going. i see a huge potential in Jstock.

Use CNBC as source

Hello, thank you for creating jStock.
I'm wondering if you think it would be a good idea to use CNBC as source since they're really real time, when yahoo finance and google finance are delayed.

I could help you to create CNBC API, would be really simple to create it using regex, since they don't have a webservice I guess.

Cloud import between Jstock Android and Jstock Linux

Hi,

I was testing cloud save/load feature using Jstock Android (0.9.83) and Linux (1.0.7.10) versions.
First I saved my portfolio to cloud from Jstock Android (I checked jstock-xxxxx.zip successfully created on Google Drive). Then I launched Jstock Linux version, and chose "Open from Cloud". It said "Loading from cloud successful" on Linux version, but the portfolio remained empty.

Does cloud backup work across Jstock Android and Linux versions? Such cross platform backup would be really useful...

Add currencies, so that stock in non USD stocks are valued correctly

Please add currencies, so that stock in non USD stocks are valued correctly. If you have any question how to handle the FX impact, just ask.

Add annual return/xirr to portfolio

I would really love if the portfolio view would show the annual return as this would help compare between different investments that have been taken for different durations.

JStock may be violating the GPL with a closed-source component

Hi,

A package org.yccheok.jstock.engine is closed source component, while the rest of JStock claims to use the GPL. I am not a lawyer though involved in many license discussions especially via JCP EC.
GPL is very restrictive as to where closed source components may be used together with a GPL project, see http://www.quora.com/Is-it-OK-to-use-closed-source-libraries-in-an-open-source-program.

At first sight, I would say, the " org.yccheok.jstock.engine" package not qualifying to be a "system library" it likely violates using GPL for the entire project. Please check and consider your license or making " org.yccheok.jstock.engine" available Open Source, too.

Stock Watchlist improvements - work with portfolios

It would be great if JStock could;

• Create stock watchlists from existing portfolios
• Set automatic watches on existing portfolio holdings. For example 10% rise / drop alerts.

Commit 802fbc446ac3ecc0f2c1468fa63383f9a3933d8b (7/12/14) broke unit tests

Reproduction recipe:

git clone https://github.com/yccheok/jstock.git
# Open in Netbeans
git co -b rollback1 2f660fb4abae118e4fa6adbe8fc6321de65750ce  # Creates branch at the commit and switches to it
# Run tests in Netbeans - All tests pass
git co -b rollback2 802fbc446ac3ecc0f2c1468fa63383f9a3933d8b # the next one after that above
# Run tests in Netbeans - 2 tests fail

See commit - 802fbc4

I can't see how this causes the failure - something to do with the NZ stock exchange changes???

Showing more decimal point in graph's Y-Axis when handling penny shares

Is it possible to improve the handling of leading zeros & trailing zeros (decimal point) when dealing with penny shares? Showing share price at Y-Axis like "0.235" and "0.225", instead of showing "00.23" or "00.22" (you can remove the leading zeros)

Jstock gets stuck after a few alerts while scanning (complex indicator)

Hi
I created a complex indictor and tried scanning the index(NSE, and BSE - India). Jstock did find few alerts but gets stuck a particular script/stock. The same stock gives no issue when using a simple indicator like MACD or Volume etc.
This is really giving me a lot of issues

What is the difference between stock relative. stock history information and real time stock information

Can you explain the difference between stock relative, stock history information and real time stock information. I am trying to create my own indicator and came across this problem. From the words i am able to conclude that real time stock information gives real time data (current time) of a stock but what does stock relative and stock history information means. When we have to use those values

Windows 10: Warning at installation of version 1.0.7.11

At the installation of the new version 1.0.7.11 under Windows 10, you get a warning that the program is from an unknown issuer.
I suppose that the files have to be signed with a certificate to avoid this problem.

Is it possible to add chart indicators (especiall moving averages) to jstock if formula is given

I want to add WMA,HMA,DEMA,TEMA,GMMA etc. If provided formula can you add these indicators to jstock.

Also can you add a crossover up or down (not greater or lesser than) function to editor this way scanning of MA crossovers would be easier

eg MA50+MA200->crossover()->alert

History chart is blocking the entire app

I have a bug to report in version 1.0.7.8 for windows. If you open another window such as the about or buy form, while waiting for the stock history to download(when you double click on a stock or right click->History), when the history window appears, it covers the active window while remaining inactive and prevents me from moving it in order to close the active window(the about or buy window for example) underneath of it. Since the underlying window is the only active window, I have no way to close it. The only option is to close and restart the entire program. Please look into this bug.

Custom clearing fee & stamp duty not working

Both clearing fee & stamp duty calculation feature in Broker Fee seems not working. Both fees return 'zero' regardless what percentage value I entered in.

Example: Stamp duty=0.1% and Clearing=0.03% (Maybank)

Please fix this as is very crucial in Portfolio Management

Start Stock Indicator at startup

Hi,

I use JStock to notify me when to sell and buy using RSI in the stock indicator scanner.

The problem is.. when my pc or server restarts i can auto start jstock, but i cant automatically start the scanning too.. which means i might not be notified about important buy/sell events.

Does this exist somewhere in JStock .. or command line maybe?

Otherwise, is this hard to add? Would really like to have this feature!

EDIT : i mean start stock indicator SCANNER at startup.

thank you,

How to use eclipse build it?

I want to use eclipse to develop jstock.
After downloaded all files, and I import to eclipse. There is no build path.

Maybe I need a .classpath and .project file.

Issue with visual chart analysis

Its difficult to do technical chart analysis using jstock.

eg i have a RSI 7 day chart and its difficult to get a meaningful, over brought and over sold signal using jstock chart

This chart from jstock

This chart from tradingview

Both have the similar duration and ticks for the same stock. I can get a useful signal from tradingview app than jstock. It also happens with MACD indicator (enabled from source code)

Recommendation

• change the y axis interval (currently its 25 change it to 5 or 10)

Real time price candle absent from historical charts

Basically I have two questions

first

I want to know why I cant find today’s real time price candle(+) in historical charts (EOD data)
(+)= Not minute by minute but single candle with todays high, low, last price and open
eg
today Feb 9 (trading time) if i check historical data for past month of any stock I only get stock till previous day that is feb 8 and not todays candle

Is it possible you can add real time candles to EOD historical data.It will be easier to visualize the chart.

Second question

while scanning with indicators do jstock consider todays real time data or only till previous day EOD da

Adding custom conditions to watchlist

is it there a way to add custom conditions to watch list

eg:

if (change% is between +2 and +5 percentage)
{
show the stocks of those companies in watch list
}

Spanish stock market missing

JStock says that
Spain no longer supported as Yahoo! decides to discontinue Spain data feed.

But I can see Spanish Data on yahoo

Reinvested dividends should count as shares

I was very excited about the AutoDividend feature. It seems to do the right thing, except for one thing. Let's see this scenario:

1) user buys 100 shares of XYZ at $1, for a total of $100 on Jan/1/2016
2) XYZ gives out a dividend of 0.23 per share on Feb/1/2016, for a total of $23
3) the user has automatic reinvested dividends, which means the $23 are used to buy more shares
4) assuming the share price has not changed (for sake of simplicity), the user now owns 123 shares
5) XYZ gives out a dividend of 0.45 per share on Mar/1/2016
Currently jstock calculates 0.45 * 100 shares as the suggested dividend. However the user has now 123 shares, so it should be 0.45 * 123.

Now, I understand that it could be difficult to know the exact price at which the reinvested dividend purchased the shared (step 4), but I think the AutoDividend dialog should provide at least fields for this, so that the user can mark a checkbox if the dividend was reinvested, and if so, the amount of shares or the purchase price (one defines the other since the amount available is the dividend amount itself).

This would make dividend updates much easier to type in, specially for new portfolios, that can have several years of unregistered dividends.

Thanks,
Sam.

How to open google finance page of a stock from jstock watchlist

I know that jstock fetches stock details from google finanace (realtime) and yahoo finance (delayed). As in my jstock watchlist I am using google finance (realtime) to fetch details. Is there a way to open those stocks page in google finance from jstock in a browser or in jstock.

Example
This is the page of pepsico in google finance and i have PEP in my watchlist. If i open the menu (using third mouse) of PEP stock, currently we have these three options History, buy and delete. it will be better to add another option Visit or something like that; to open the stocks page in google/yahoo finance

P.S. Watch list includes scanner also
