Subject: Snapshot software?
This question is to all who post charts:
Is there some Windows software to take a snapshot of a window and save it as a graph file?
I am using AmiBroker, and would like to post a chart from it. It is a chart of the Nasdaq 100 Summnation Index. It is similir to the $NASI found on StockChart.com, but is based on only the Nasdaq 100 stocks, the the Nasdaq Comp. I think some here would find it of intrest.
Thanks in advance and thanks to all who keep us focused on the what is "really" going on in the markets! :)
