FAQs

Can FCharts SE import from Metastock® binary data files?
Yes, the 255-file-per-folder format. You can specify a range of dates, too.

Does Freecharts use an internet connection?
No, it's not a web-based application, it's a standalone program. Once you've downloaded it, it will not expire or force you to buy anything. It will only connect to the Internet to check for an updated version.
How do I keep the stock prices up to date?
You need a daily update called an 'End of Day' data file, or 'EOD' file for short. BodhiGold can supply this file in both BodhiOne and MetaStock® (255-file-per-folder) formats.

How come I've never heard of FCharts or Spacejock?
SpaceJock doesn't advertise and is not into self-promotion. They put all their effort into pleasing existing customers, and would estimate that 90% of their customers are using FChart SE because it was recommended to them by someone else.

How fast is the data import?
That's up to you. On a recent machine, 2 or 3 seconds per end-of-day file. On an older machine (say, 200mhz pentium) perhaps 9 to 15 seconds. There are lots of variables, such as hard disk speed, number of stocks in the database and so on.

What if I require more features?
A professional version of FCharts (Pro) is available for purchase from the SpaceJock website. For more information on the extra features of this software, please visit: SpaceJock.com
