Jochen already answered your question about backports. But I am
curious about something. How are you pulling the stock prices? Keep in
mind that you have to account for corporate actions (ex:- dividends,
stock splits, ticker changes etc.,). Just wondering if you have any
experiences that you could share.

Even though gnuplot can produce beautiful plots it does not help much
in analyzing the data. You might be better off using a high level
language such as R, octave or Matlab to do the analysis. All these
programs come with good plotting capabilities.
Just my 2 cents...
