Fwd: currency or stock trading strategy

[Derek Atkins]

Gnucash does have some charting and graphing capabilities, but
I dont know what you're looking for specifically.  We do have,
for example, a price scatter plot to show the change in commodity
prices over time.  However I dont know how well the graphs could
be used to test trading strategies.
