iSignals is now iOS 4.2 compatible


The current version of iSignals (v 2.1) is compliant with iOS 4.2 and approved by Apple (available on the AppStore).
This edition has a few enhancements 'under the hood' :
- Better performance
- Bug fixes
- Improved network reliability
In a next release we are planning to integrate Yahoo financial news per instrument and to add some extra technical analysis functions.

Important note :
For some iPhone 4 devices the app gives sometimes erroneous 'no internet connection' messages. This problem is fixed in v2.2 and will available anytime soon on the AppStore

Technical analysis with iSignals



In the current version of iSignals you already have the possibility to do some technical analysis on stocks. A quick resume of what is available :
A. Technical indicators
- Simple Moving Average ( 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 days)
- Exponential Moving Average ( 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 days)
- Triangular Moving Average ( 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 days)
- Bollinger bands
- Parabolic SAR
B. Technical charts
- Money Flow Index
- MACD
- Rate of Change
- Relative Strength index (RSI)
- Slow and fast Stochastic
- Volume
- Williams %r
- Chaikin Oscillator
The startup of the technical analysis is very simple, you select in the portfolio an instrument and then you arrive in the instrument detail view.
Tapping on the chart button will bring you to the technical analysis module.
Once tapped the initial TA screen will appear (as shown below) :
Now you have 2 options :
You can double tap on the graph to add additional overlays on the graph; the options currently available are shown below :
Selecting the options as shown will result in the following graph :
Be aware that for reasons of readability you should limit the number of overlays. Its easier to switch back and forth between overlays than to display all of them at once.
The other option you have is to add other graphs (see above for the list of graphs available). For this you need to double tap the 'chart paper' (that is the underlying view with the red line and small squares).
When you do that a selection list will appear :
You can choose all them, but its recommended not to choose more than 3 (for performance reasons).
The results look likes this :
So this was a small introduction to the charting functionality of iSignals, you can find out more when you tap on the help button (the '?' in the right upper corner).
Happy trading !
