Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to stay connected to the Internet?

No. You can use an Internet connection to update your TeleChart databank. The entire procedure takes between 2 and 10 minutes depending on the speed of your computer. Once your TeleChart databank is updated, you can disconnect from the Internet (although you do not have to disconnect) and work off-line. You can use TeleChart in your car, on the train, on a plane … or on your living room couch.

Who writes the Worden Notes?

Peter and Don Worden are the authors of the Worden Notes. You already have hundreds of Worden Notes right now that you can begin browsing. There is no better way to learn charting techniques & strategies than small doses of real-life daily lessons.

How often are Charts with Worden Notes published?

Peter and Don Worden write notes whenever they run TeleChart. Before the market opens … during the market day … after the market closes. Any time they write a note, it is made available to you within five minutes. You can also copy the charts attached to their notes right into your system and build on their ideas!

How long does it take to sort or scan every chart (over 9,000)?

It takes between 1 and 10 seconds depending on the speed of your machine. No other system is easier … no other system is faster.

Can I customize scans myself?

Yes. TeleChart uses a graphical range selector that makes it easy for anybody to create sophisticated scans in minutes. Many canned scans are included that you can build on or you can check the web site www.worden.com for scan development ideas.

Will I miss data if I go too long between downloads?

Absolutely not. You always get everything every time you access the database.

Does TeleChart adjust for splits and symbol changes?

Yes. It maintains everything for you. Splits, symbol & name changes, exchanges, index & industry group component lists, historical-price data corrections, new issues, defunct issues, fundamentals … everything. If you are wondering if you have time to maintain everything on your own using another data service … plan on over 1,000 maintenance items per week!

If I use other investment software programs that read TeleChart data, are they maintained as well?

Yes. Software that reads the TeleChart data has access to all maintenance items. Imagine having your entire investment software library working off one, clean, efficient data source.

Can I view full-screen charts like I did in version 3.x?

Absolutely. You can toggle between the regular view and large view by clicking the icon in the top right corner of the chart or by pressing CTRL-L.
