title: Where can i find sample alogrithms for analyzing historical stock prices?
body: <p>Can anyone direct me in the right direction?</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I'm trying to analyze stock prices and see if I can spot any patterns. I'm using PHP and MySQL to do this. Where can I find sample algorithms like the ones used in MetaStock or thinkorswim? I know they are closed source, but are there any tutorials available for beginners?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,</p>
  
  <p>P.S. I don't even know what to search for in google :(</p>
