ExcaliburONE

Multi window GUI driven charting application for stocks and commodities bar charts. Programmed in Java (platform independence). Charting capable of creating muti-time frame bar charts of opening price, high price, low price and closing price and chart indicators. Software capable of reading ASCII based data (intra day - multiple bars representing one day’s trading action, and end of day bars - one bar representing one day’s price action). ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows? (depending on the nature? of the deliverables): a)? For web sites or? other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software? installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Friday Mar 30, 2007 7:38:23 AM: Additional Information on Excalibur Programming Project. We would like a multi window charting application that plots data read from ascii files. This date would be in the form of: Date ,Open,High,Low,Close,OpInt,Volume 20010101,10020,10040,9990,10030,300,4000 20010102,9990,10020,9980,9990,400,5000 I would like the program to be able to read comma, space, and tab delimited data. This ascii data would be broken into multiple contract files with overlapping dates. I would like the application to splice the data into one smooth sequential data stream based on input from the user. Example (note length of files have been shortened for brevity sake AND format changed for ease of reading) BPH2006 20051123 17233 17233 17201 17201 20051125 17220 17220 17113 17121 20051128 17110

the first files end date overlaps the second files begin date. If the user inputs "Day 6" for the rollover trigger (splice date) then the charting application would plot the first data file up until 20060306 and plot the second file starting from 20060307. The number of contracts on a yearly basis and the rollover trigger date is located in a master control file. These files don't include the time, volume or opInt. Some files will have these additional fields . The header line could be used to show the number of fields. The file with these fields would look like Date Time Open High Low Close Vol OpInt 20060619 0830 18460 18460 18397 18397 400 5000 20060619 0835 18460 18460 18397 18397 400 5000 20060619 0840 18460 18460 18397 18397 400 5000 The charting application would need to be able to plot the time in addition to the date on the time scale. The same splicing would be used just as we did in the previous example. All of the data would be integer based. These data files can be large, so I am not sure what the best method would be to load the data into memory. We need a scrolling window across the entire history of data. Please feel free to email with any further questions as I am sure many will arise. I have programmed a very similar project using C and Fortran so I am very familiar with the programming.
