Best software?

(A) RT charting
(B) Strategy Development & testing
(C) Portfolio testing and management
(D) Data gathering and manipulation
(E) Neural net/forecasting
(F) Scanner RT/EOD
(G) Accounting and tax

 

I'm guessing you are not looking for one piece of software on all of these....

Next question - what's your price range?

 

RT Charting quotetracker.com FREE

 

(A) http://www.quotetracker.com/

(B) http://www.multicharts.net/features.php

(C) http://amibroker.com/

(E) http://www.tradingpatterns.com/ (data mining)

(F) http://www.worden.com/ (US equities only)

(G) http://www.armencomp.com/

 

I would recommend www.amibroker.com for (B) as well.

I agree - other good ones:
- Amibroker Real Time
- Ninja Trader

I like:
- Amibroker
- Tradersstudio
- Tradingblox

Same list as above.

for D - I have no idea what you mean by that.

I like Amibroker for this more than Worden - more programmable.

 

All you need to make money is (A) http://www.quotetracker.com

with a free RT feed from a broker (it supports dozens of them) and (E) www.tradingpatterns.com to find high probability setups or any other pattern finder that does the job.

If you are a position equity or futures trader, you can even use a cheap or free EOD source and APS www.tradingpatterns.com

If you are a forex trader you can use free RT Metatrader www.metatrader4.com with APS from www.tradingpatterns.com

 

I recommend the CQG platform for letter (A). I like their paint charts and other unique features.
