Package details
Qtstalker is a user friendly Technical Analysis package for GNU/Linux
(and hence other Unix-like systems). Similar to commercial wares such
as Metastock, Supercharts and Tradestation. Keeps to a lean, simple
design for speed, portability, and low resource usage. Because it
uses a plugin model, Qtstalker can easily be extended.
Qtstalker is 100% free software, distributed under the terms of the
GNU GPL. An active development community is continually adding new
features. We appreciate your input towards creating a world-class
GNU/Linux TA package.
