During a trade, you can also press the Buy Now and Sell Now buttons to begin or end a trade. A market order is assumed but you can use a limit order to trade by checking the associated check box.

Long sided trades are assumed unless you click the Short Sale check box or click the Sell Now button before buying. At C, you select which chart pattern you wish to trade.

Use this option to keep your quote files short. I recommend 2 years of data which will keep load and processing speed tolerable. However, be advised that if you use this option, you may run out of free quotes IEX, for example, will charge you oodles of "messages" for each stock.

Select your data provider with care. New to version 6. Checking this will instruct the program to automatically retry the various quote providers should any quote files still need updating.

It works best if you have provided tokens for the various quote providers otherwise they will be skipped. I changed some of the data providers in version 7. I removed Alpha Vantage because they are having legal problems and in my opinion, you should avoid using them. I also removed google because they haven't worked for years. This review was done on 20 August Versions 5. Patternz works on computers with a minimum screen size of x This version works best in the United States and for countries that use a similar date format.

If your country has a different way of treating numbers instead of Try it and see. If you still want to use it despite a different format, then find the International settings "Clock, Language, and Region" in the control panel and set your Formats tab and Location tab to the United States.

You'll need both the format and location. Once Patternz is setup, select stock files you wish to view and click the Chart button to view them. On the Main and Update Forms, highlight a stock symbol in the list box. Press the Delete key to remove both the symbol and the associated stock file from your computer.

Press F2 to rename a symbol. Once you have your symbols, go to the Update form. Click the 'Get historical quotes' option button to ungray the 'New symbol s , space separated' list and paste them or type them in. Then run an update using the provider of your choice Google stopped working long ago, yahoo is flakey, Alpha Vantage is slow. Tiingo is my favorite choice, but you'll need a token. The symbols and quote information Don't forget to set the From and To dates will be added to the program.

Some machines may not allow the installation of Patternz. First, install the program after logging in as the administrator. Then pray. Also, your virus check may take a long time a minute before asking if you really want to install Patternz.

We're not sure why some machines won't allow installation, but suspect it's a permissions login as administrator problem. Check the zip file and see if there's a Patternz. If so, copy that to your hard drive and see if it'll run. That skips the install process. It may be blocking Patternz's access to the internet.

You have internet access and you've tried all of the quote providers, but still Patternz won't download anything. One user had that problem. Delete Patternz from the registry by following the steps here. If Patternz cannot update a quote file, it is placed in the Retry list box. Select another quote provider, click Retry, and see if you can download the symbol.

If you are downloading a lot of files such as most of the market , be aware that stock symbols change from time to time. It's possible that you'll need to change or delete the stock symbol. To change a symbol , on the Update or Main Forms, click the symbol you wish to change and click F2 on your keyboard. Change the symbol's name and click OK.

To delete a symbol , on the Update or Main Forms, click the symbol and press Delete on your keyboard and then click OK. The program will check for bad quotes, such as the high price being reported as below the low price or the opening price is zero.

It counts these errors and reports them on the clipboard. So if you are using the Chart Form, for example, and see quote errors, paste the clipboard information into notepad. If you see a lot of quote errors, then that's a symptom of a corrupt file.

See Step 2. It's also possible that you have received bad quote information. The quote providers Google, yahoo, and so on distribute incorrect quote data from time to time, so seeing quote errors is not unusual. You may wish to select another quote provider and use the 'Get historical quotes' option to replace your quote files. If you chart a symbol and the chart looks incorrect you can use Bigcharts.

This can happen if you didn't replace your quote files when switching to a new version from one before 6. To replace bad or corrupted quote files , go to the Update form, click Select All to highlight all quote files , click 'Get historical quotes', fill in the 'From' and 'To' dates a two-year span works well. The files will be replaced.

If you have multiple portfolios, then click 'Update All Portfolios' instead of Start. If you see lots of quote errors, then that's another symptom of a corrupt file. See the prior step to replace your quote files.

However, read Quote Errors first. If nothing else works, delete Patternz from the registry and run the program again. To do that, follow these steps.

I noticed a duplicate crept in while using yahoo and 'start from last update' option on the Update Form. That created a duplicate I think. Or it could be yahoo is passing bad data when a holiday is involved.
