Match Tool - this program finds similar historical periods to the one specified by user and presents summary and detail statistics for the found matches.
Want to know the future? What will happened in the next 5, 20, 60 days? Specify current 120 days (6 months) as the pattern and examine what happened to the similar historical periods found by the program.
A typical session begins with a user selecting a stock to analyze, e.g. IBM, and entering Number of matches to find. Next specify Pattern to find. The Pattern to find can be either: Prices over last # Days or Prices for the specified Start Date and End Date. After clicking "EXECUTE", the output report with historically similar periods is created.
To install please first install R, Yahoo & Google Historical Quotes Downloader. Next download and unzip Match Tool. To run execute MatchTool.exe.
This program requires R installation because all calculations are carried out in R. I also recommend to install Yahoo & Google Historical Quotes Downloader to automatically update your stock prices.
