StockShare

StockShare, developed by StockShare Publishing LLC, has rolled out its latest version, 1.5, providing an advanced solution for market analysis within the realm of Development Tools, specifically under Database Tools. This Java-based software application offers an efficient way to access and chart end-of-day stock data, perfect for traders and analysts looking to process large amounts of data across international markets.

The 1.5 version, identified as StockShareV2.exe, offers a wealth of features, including access to over 130,000 stock, index, mutual fund, and commodity symbols drawn from more than 30 countries. What's compelling about StockShare is its provision to download free historical data from the internet, spanning up to 20 years. For users who prefer to work with their own datasets, the program supports ASCII and MetaStock™ data imports, allowing for robust local storage and analysis.

Customization is one strong suit of StockShare; users can dynamically plot stock prices in various chart formats such as candlestick, line, or bar charts. This flexibility ensures that the software caters to a variety of analytical preferences and methodologies. Additionally, the dynamic data selection feature allows analysts to tailor their data scope as per their requirements, ensuring more precise and relevant stock analysis. More
