Or really, well thats interesting, I think it all comes down to how much effort your are prepared to put in, and the ammount of commitment you are willing to use. I mean before you even attempt to buy any sort of software, you must have your wits about you and the appropiate ammount of education to be able to use the software correctly and to the best of your advantage. Because yer there is a hell of a lot of information out there, sum good some bad you just can't judge a book bye its cover.
Aspecially around a site such as this.You can not go to work without your education, a good example can be partly my own exsperiance to date. I started as a cheap skate and I am learning the hard way, going through all the ups and downs, and doing everthing I can to improve my fundermantal charting abilities to co-inside with Analyisis just gathering all the tricks of the trade as I go along. Finding out you cann't believe everything you see and there is still alot to learn.
I must admit that I have had the privledge of sampling sum exclusive software products,and they have helped me face the reality of trading, (don,t judge anything on face value along, learn how to research your investment and don't let it go!)
Incredible Charts pro is cheap and effective as a learning tool, all U have to do is put in the time and effort into your stadagie's learn the market and your ability's to invest. The Star Trader is a real bliss and in my view the best paper trading tool around. An excellent banking portfolio, that can profit test your investment and allow you to make long or short term investments with sum reassurance, getting the most out of every investment. Takes the hard work out of finding stocks at there greatest protential.
The only hassel with this, is to actually obtian the software. Its valued at $8000 which i find way to exspensive. I value the trader at $3000 even though it comes in a big box.
But you would be absolutly wrong by saying Share market software is all you need to trade successfully. All it is does is carry the burden.
I use the Star Trader,(Excellent) but i think for anything to be so exuberant in price, it should not only do what they do today, but should also be able to give you a full piture of where the the stock looks at being in say 3months time etc, not just where it is sitting today and where it should be. Why not put a system together that calculates all assests of it fundermentals, properties and current trading ability with the market to see where it will be in 3 months time, give or take a win or a loss? ( i think i nearly invented some thing, sssh) I meaan what exactly are they making now days and why are we so under informed of the markets true prodential. (Government) i bet.
Strangers, view to trading, i say learn how to use your charts then take it all from there!
congradulations and all the best!
