Financial Time Series Toolbox

Using the Financial Time Series GUI

Getting Started

To use the Financial Time Series GUI, first load (or import) the time series data. For example, if your data is in a MATLAB MAT-file, select Load from the File menu.

For illustration purposes, choose the file ftsdata.mat from the dialog presented.

If you don't see the MAT-file, look in the directory <matlab>\toolbox\ftseries\ftsdata, where <matlab> is the MATLAB root directory (the directory where MATLAB is installed).

Note    Data loaded through the Financial Time Series GUI is not available in the MATLAB workspace. You can access this data only through the GUI itself, not with any MATLAB command line functions.

Each financial time series object inside the MAT-file is presented as a line plot in a separate window. The status window is updated accordingly.

Whirlpool (WHR) is the last plot displayed, as indicated on the title bar of the main window.
