High Growth Stock Investor Software Database usage inside High Growth Stock Investor

All stock charting applications have a database containing price and volume information, but by taking this concept a bit further High Growth Stock Investor allows you to reach a new level of investment analysis. In addition to price and volume for the stocks in the database, HGSI makes use of a tree database to contain group information. These reference groups and smart groups are updated and maintained by the software automatically. They allow you to start researching and tracking stocks by focusing on groups. This includes a full set of industry groups as well as sectors. In addition HGSI has a number of smart groups which are created from the reference group using our filtering and ranking tool. Some of these SmartGroups are just simple filters, like by Market Cap or by stock type. Others are more investment oriented using our ranking and filtering to present investment candidates that are worthy of further review. These groups give the user a quick way to find a starting set of stocks to rank and compare. In addition every group has an index computed from the members of that group. These computed indexes offer the ability to do higher level group analysis and true top down investing.

HGSI also has an extensive database of other information about the securities, including fundamentals and computed technical indicators. These fields are usable by our filtering and ranking systems. We pre-compute a large number of popular charting indicators and other technical measures which users can then filter and sort on. By making all these measurements from the charts, the user no longer has to painstakingly look at each and every chart. We have done that work for you and summarized it with numeric values which you can filter and rank on. allowing you to quickly narrow investment candidates which you can then spend more time analyzing with our stock charting features.
