Well, now that you mention that...we could use news? And just focus on that. However, that means the program would focus on talking like a market news analyst...

Well, a chart has the following: Time, High, Low, Open, Close, Volume We could just use that to make a 'word' as it were. E.G. Monday January 1, 2000 12:14:00 1.0000 0.9900 0.9910 0.9990 10
