5. More details:

VisuaData for Windows is a user-friendly neural network
preprocessor. It reads MetaStock (ms), CSI (csi), Computrac 
(cpt), FutureSource (fs), Excel, ASCII, and free data from 
sources such as http://www.ai.mit.edu/stocks.html.  It 
generates technical indicators which have been found to be 
useful for neural network forecasting, examples are the Adx, 
Obv, Vertical horizontal filer, Random walk index.  New and 
traditional technical indicators such as Chande's Vidya and 
Cmo, Time series forecast, Adaptive moving average, Cci, 
Bollinger bands, RSI, Stochastics, Money flow index, Roc, 
Price volume trend, MACD, and a total of over 100 indicators
are included.  Some indicators, such as Zigzag, filter out
noise in the raw data, so that the smoothed signals can be 
learned by neural networks more effectively.  It also scans 
and removes bad data records automatically and is capable of 
identifying outliers.  The new version has an Excel-compatible 
interface with charting capability.
