Venice has the ability to list quote prices for a single day's trading in a table, and the ability to list all quote prices for a list of given stocks. When listing you need to decide which stocks you are interested in. Currently you can select from All Ordinaries, Market Indices and All Symbols. These categories are based on the ASX (Australian Stock Exchange) so might not be very relevant for other exchanges. Currently Venice is very ASX-centric. At the moment Venice does not have access to any data relating to the symbols it is given, so it has to guess which category the symbol falls in. All Ordinaries lists all 3 letter symbols except those starting with an X. Market Indices lists all symbols starting with an X, on the ASX almost all of these are market indices. All Symbols lists all the symbols.
You can display a table by doing the following:
The List All option allows you to list all the stock quotes on the given date.
The List By Date option allows you to specify the date of the stock quotes to list.
The List By Rule option allows you to specify the initial filter. The filter is an equation which specifies which stocks should be listed and which hidden, see below for more details about this, also see the Gondola Language for details about the format of the equations.
The List By Symbols option allows you to specify the stock symbols to list. Then all the quotes for those stock symbols will be listed.
You can run multiple equations against every stock listed in the table and
list the result of the equation. Click on the Table menu item, then
click on the Apply Equations menu item. This will bring up a dialog
where you can enter up to 5 equations that can be run against each stock. For
each you can enter the name of the column and the equation to be run. See
Gondola Language for details about the format of these equations.
Also see Preferences for how to get Venice to remember equations
so you don't have to keep typing them in all the time. To get you started, an
example equation is avg(close, 30, 0)
which will calculate the average
day close value over the last 30 days, including today.
You can restrict which stocks are listed in the table by setting up an equation
filter. This equation is run against each stock listed in the table, if the
equation equates to true for a stock, then that stock is listed. Otherwise it
is hidden. You can reach this by clicking on the Apply Filter menu item.
Again, see Gondola Language for details about the format of these equations.
Also see Preferences for how to get Venice to remember equations so
you don't have to keep typing them in all the time. To get you started, an
example equation filter is lag(close, 0) > lag(close, -1)
which will
list all quotes where the day close of today is higher than the day close of
the last trading day.
Every table in Venice supports the following:
By clicking on a column header you can sort by that column, click again and you reverse the sort. You can change the order of the columns by dragging a column and dropping it into a new position.
Some tables in Venice support the following:
By right clicking on a row you can raise a context sensitive menu. If you double click on a row the most common operation is invoked, typically Graphing. Some tables also have a menu item Show Columns which lets you specify which columns are shown.
