In-built search facility

As BodhiGold now supplies so much data, with more to be added soon, it has made it necessary to add a search engine to help you locate the securities you are looking for.
This search facility allows you to search for either a symbol (BHP); or part of a name (BILLIT); or sector (GICS or MSCI - not supported in Yahoo data). The results of each search contain the Symbol, Name, Source and Market Group.

Fast data downloading using HTP or FTP

Previous versions of Bodhi could only download using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). This caused some problems with clients who had installed firewalls or virus protecting software and hadn't configured them to allow downloads from our servers.
We have now added a HTP download method (set as default) which should correct these issues and speed-up downloading time.

Create your own Advance/Decline lines

The Advance/Decline builder creates charts for any format you've chosen. You specify the securities you wish to track and then save them as an Advance/Decline Line and Ratio.
Advance is the total number of securities that today's close price is higher than yesterday's close price.
Decline is the total number of securities that today's close price is lower than yesterday's close price.

BodhiGold: Advance Decline Lines

Advance/Decline Line
The Advance/Decline Line is calculated by subtracting the amount of Advanced securities (in your list) by the amount of Declined securities (in your list). The Advance/Decline line begins calculating from 100 and each day's results are compared to the previous day.

Advance/Decline Ratio
The Advance/Decline Ratio is calculated using this algorythm:
((A^2+D)/(D^2+A))^Log(2)/Log(A+D)
where: A = Advances and D = Declines
A maximum value of 2 and minimum value of 0.5 is set to control any fluctuations in your chart.

Create your own Market Indicators

BodhiGold has a built-in private index builder which allows you to specify the securities you wish to track and then save them as an index. These indices include adjustments and are updated automatically.
You can also choose to weight your securities by entering numbers into the Weight column. If you are making an index from the securities you own you could weight them according to the volume or total price they hold in your portfolio.
BodhiGold creates the index by averaging the prices (open, high, low, close and volume) of your group of securities.
Formulae: Price x Weight (of all securities selected) divided by the total number of Weight.

BodhiGold: Private Index builder

Trin indicators for each market

BodhiGold automatically creates (for every Exchange), Trin indices and Advance Decline ratio and lines using all instruments in each individual equity Exchange.

Monitor the market daily with Bodhi Monitor

This software monitors the market on a daily basis. Information like new issues, delisted stocks, stock reconstructions and changes to fundamental values can all be viewed from within the Monitor. Although this information has already been adjusted/applied to your database, it is still beneficial to know what has occurred in the various markets you are following.

The Compared tab displays statistical information on the market group (i.e. ASX Equity) you have selected. This screen consists of the Symbol for the security, the price the security closed at and the price change compared to yesterday. You also have the ability to compare the Change price with previous dates. This information can be imported into MicroSoft® Excel for further analysis.

BodhiGold: Monitor - Compared tab

The Included tab displays any new issues, symbol changes and security reconstructions.

The Updated tab displays information that has been updated on individual securities. This information can consist of name changes, the amount of shares they have on issue, the industry sector they belong to, their DPS (Dividends per share) or their EPS (Earnings Per Share).

The Modified tab displays information on any share splits, stock consolidations, renounceable or non-renounceable issues, bonus issues and return of capital.

The Delisted tab displays any securities that have been delisted/expired from the Exchanges.

Even more user-configuration

When you select an exchange (eg. NASDAQ) you can access as much of or as little of the data, for the same price. The advantage with BodhiGold is you have control of the data. You can select all the data or a sub-set of it. You can tick individual symbols (eg. CSCO, DELL, GOOG etc.), a group such as the Top 100 (by Market Capitalisation - maximum of Top 999) or you may want only Equities. Any combination of data to any directory can be achieved. This means you can change your mind at anytime at no additional cost.

Export information to a spreadsheet

BodhiGold gives you the ability to create your own text files using the data fields populated by the software.

BodhiGold: Ascii Fundamental data

You can configure this feature by right-clicking on the AsciiCsv format found on the Native tab in the Module Manager screen (from the Main menu, click the Configure button).

Add prefix or suffix to codes

Add Prefix or Suffix to codes - useful if you want to download several Stock Exchanges into one directory. This option is configurable for every format, however some formats (for example: EzyChart) only support 8 bit codes.

Unattended automatic operation

Settle prices instead of close for the London Stock Exchange

London Stock Exchange Equities are categorised into 4 groups. These are: SETS (Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service), SEAQ (Stock Exchange Automated Quotations), SEATS Plus and AIM (Alternative Investment Market).
SETS, commonly known as the Orderbook, uses a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as its close. Where as SEAQ, SEATS and AIM securities closing prices are the best bid, offer and mid price calculated from market maker quotes at the end of the mandatory quote period.
By choosing the Replace Close with Settle option you are ensuring that your close price matches that of the London Stock Exchange.

BodhiGold: LSE Settle prices

You can PAD your data, or not.

Option to PAD or not to pad your data files. PAD data in one folder but not another. You can choose between padding for Open and Week days. Open Days means the padding will only occur where the Exchange is open. For example, no padding will result on Easter Friday & Monday as the Exchange is closed at that time. Week Days will pad for all days between Monday & Friday, regardless of whether the Exchange is Open or Closed.
