iSignals 2.3 new features


The latest version (available on the AppStore) contains a lot of new features:
- Now you can add an instrument to your portfolio which are not followed by the iSignals trading engine
- More detailled quote information
- Company and industry news
- Enhanced portfolio view
- Better support for iPhone 4 Retina display
I'll now discuss in a bit more detail some of these new feature.

Enhanced portfolio view

The portfolio view has been enhanced and contains now also the last trade price (in realtime where available) and the change in absolute and relative values.


Manual add instruments


When you open the portfolio you'll see below a small hand icon.
When you tap this a search screen will show up in which you can search in ALL the available stocks on finance.yahoo.com.
When you select a stock you can add it to your portfolio.
No signals will be received for that stock of course but you can lookup all quote detail and do some technical analysis on it.


Detailled quote information per instrument


When you select an equity in the portfolio view you'll see a new an enhanced information view. It allows you to page through :
- Detailled quote data like Open, High, Prev Close etc
- A view on the signal history (if available)
- A basic chart on the close prices
- Company and industry news

Frequently asked questions

Q: When the free trail period is over, can I still continue to use iIsgnals ?
A: Yes you can, you'll no longer receive the signals but you can continue to use it for the charting capabilities.
Q: What is the model behind the signals ?
A: Well the model itself is not public, but I can tell you that its a combination of a number of technical indicators and pattern recognization techniques over historical quote information (more than 9 years now).

Upcoming release 2.4

In the next release we have enhanced the technical analysis functions:
- Some indicator charts also give an indication for sell/buy or oversold/overbought
- New indicators have been added:
TRIX
Momentum
Commodity Channel Index
Ultimate Oscillator

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 !
