Gecko Charts...now known as Track'nTrade

Lan Turner has simply outdone himself with his latest version of this extremely popular charting software. It's probably the very best learning tool for new traders that I have ever seen. If ONLY the average course vendor could put together something like this...we should be so lucky, lol!

Track'nTrade provides a definition of each indicator that is included with the software, so not only can you put all the indicators you want onto your charts, but they teach you how to use 'em while you're about it.

Some of the nifty things you can plot on the charts:

  • Moving Averages

  • Bollinger Bands

  • Support and Resistance

  • Andrews' Pitchfork

  • Elliott Wave

  • Darts and Blips (Charles' Spike Thingy)

  • Gann Fan

  • Fibonacci Retracements

  • Fibonacci Arcs

  • 123's 

  • Head and shoulders formations

  • The usual flags, pennants, channels, trendlines, wedges, etc

  • Volume

  • Open Interest

  • CCI - Commodity Channel Index

  • DMI - Directional Movement Indicator

  • ADX - Average Directional Indicator

  • Historic Volatility

  • MACD - Moving Average Convergence/Divergence

  • Momentum

  • Relative Strength Index

  • Stochastics

  • Larry Williams Percent R

  • Larry Williams Accumulation/Distribution 

  • 3 variations of Pivot Points

  • 10x8 Moving Average Convergence (MAC)

Although the screenshot I've used is of candles in the S&P Mini-me (of course), the default is bar charts and you can customize to the hilt the way these charts look and feel. You can even keep track of your trading account with this software. 

There's a neat little thing you can do while paper trading: set the chart right back to the beginning of the contract, then have it run forward automatically a single bar at a time (instead of using a piece of paper covering the right side of the chart). This way you can't cheat,  you get to see the formations setting up, and you can paper trade them as if you had gone back in time. Then advance the chart another bar and see how you would have done. Excellent paper training for a novice.

The charts are updated each evening at about 6.30 Eastern.

The best part of this is...you can get this disk shipped to you absolutely free of charge...or you can download this software if you're on a cable modem or DSL. Evidently now the trial period is unlimited too. Click here if you'd like to try it out.

 BTW...if you're a dyed in the wool Support and Resistance trader, Rich Martin's Support and Resistance Finder exports data from this software to give you S&R numbers as far back in the contract as you want to go.
