Geri,
I can answer that question. WOW5 = Window on Wall Street, version 5.0. I have a copy of their Personal Investor version, which cost $49.99 at CompUSA. Their professional version is around $100 or more, and has a few extra bells and whistles.
Their website is wallstreet.net
I haven't devoted much time to learning the software. I think the only scan it will run is to look for percent changes in price and volume. Perhaps the professional version has additional scans.
There are a hundred different technical indicators that you can use to plot charts, but you still have to look at the charts and interpret what the indicators show. It would be great if it had some "artificial intelligence" capabilities and could give us information of the type that Mark is giving us.
WOW provides free daily data for the 30 Dow Jones stocks, but if you want data for the other thousands of stocks, you have to subscribe to a data service, which isn't cheap. I'm on AOL, and can freely download historical prices for most securities, and usually import them into WOW, but it takes a little work. (They are downloaded as ASCII files, I have to import it into EXCEL, strip off the first two columns, save it as a column-delimited ASC or CSV format, and then import into WOW). |
