Please Note:-
-------------
To open BARC.GN or NWB.GN layouts open the sample data GEN_SAMP.XLS first.

For data saved in ASCII text files. Genesis assumes that the date format order in the saved text files is the same as the date format order in your regional settings.

Therefore if you want to use the sample ASCII text files then please set the date format in your regional settings to the order DAY, MONTH, YEAR since these files were saved in this format and so need this setting on your machine. The date format is not important but the DAY, MONTH, YEAR order is.

When you save your own text files then you will have no such issues as long as the date format order in the saved text files is the same as the date format order in your regional settings.

You won't have any such date issues for your Excel data (including our sample data  GEN_SAMP.XLS) or any other data sources.

Description
***********
Genesis (ver 7.3) provides Internet connectivity so data can be retrieved from the 
Internet or Intranet and charted directly in Genesis without the need for any browser 
or intermediate data depository. Users have the option to either:-
1) Enter any Internet or Intranet URL from where to retrieve the data from, or
2) Use the URL builder to fetch FREE data from Yahoo Finance. 

Genesis is a comprehensive technical analysis trading system providing a complete set of models and charting features, with support for any type of instrument in all market cycles, spreadsheet-like capabilities, built in SQL query builder, fully customisable charts and simultaneous analysis of multiple instruments.

The system supports any type of instrument, including but not restricted to stocks & shares, commodities, index, options, futures, bonds and funds. The system can also be used to analyse any other kind of data.

Genesis incorporates the most widely used charting systems since experience confirms that no single system can be relied upon continuously. Certain models are better suited than others depending upon the market phase. As a result, Genesis can guarantee data integrity since users are sure that their favourite models are all using exactly the same data.

The system can access data from a variety of sources and is not tied to any data supplier. Data sources can be:-
	Internet / Intranet
	Real-Time datafeeds, such as Reuters
	Any Windows-based application that supports DDE, such as Excel
	Any database that supports ODBC, such as SQL Server and MS-Access
	Any ASCII text file
	Standard ASCII seven field text file for MetaStock, AIQ, etc
	Standard ASCII nine field text file for MetaStock, AIQ, etc 

A very powerful feature is the systems ability to update charts from non real-time data sources such as from the Internet/Intranet, Databases or text files. Users can specify update fetch frequencies for such datasources and charts will update at these intervals. This allows users the ability to have real-time charts on their desks but without the need to have a real-time feed connected. Again, this will help reduce the costs and maybe appropriate for middle and back office users.

Genesis also provides automatic data filtering to remove possible erroneous prices. However these price movements may in fact have happened in which case the system also allows data to be manually edited using a spreadsheet-like data viewer. The data on the spreadsheet corresponding to a chart scrolls as the user moves the mouse over the chart allowing erroneous prices to be detected and edited instantly. Navigation and data editing is similar as is in Microsoft Excel.

Other Features
--------------
Simultaneously analyse multiple charts and instruments.

Users can use applications such as Excel to massage data, produce their own models and feed the results back into Genesis

No data restrictions. The system can be used to chart whatever user wishes

Overlay candlesticks, barcharts, high-low, trend, channel, horizontal & vertical line attachments to charts

Option to show price scale in fractions which is useful for instruments, such as US Bonds, which are traded in fractions

Save charts as bitmaps and print capablilities

Save and Restore layouts.and templates

Zoom in/out graphical capabilities.in one selection rather than reselecting areas

Tracking of price values

Tips on when and how to best take advantage of each charting tool


Please refer to GENESIS.HLP for further information.

Print Problems
--------------
For certain machine configurations under Windows 95/98 users may experience printing 
problems. If this is the case, then users can save the charts as bitmaps and load them 
in another application, such as MS Word or MS Paint, before printing out.This will be 
fixed in future versions.
