Stock Chart Wizard is a tool used for technical analysis of stock market data which is freely available over the internet. Data for user selected stocks are downloaded from internet servers, and Stock Chart Wizard analyses the data, draws stock charts and technical indicators. Users can select to display up to two simple moving averages, two exponential moving averages, Bollinger bands and a comparison line.

Technical indicators which can be selected include: volume, moving average convergence / divergence (MACD), stochastic, slow stochastic, relative strength indicator (RSI) and momentum.

Stock Chart Wizard uses proprietary charting software that draws charts and technical indicators instantly.

Also included are watch lists that display latest trading price (typically 15 to 20 minutes delayed), followed by several key data points for that stock. The watch list appears in familiar spreadsheet format for easy editing and viewing. Watch lists can be updated by the user throughout the day.

Using the power of the internet, Stock Chart Wizard provides a powerful, low-cost approach to technical analysis.
