Mr Steve

What is the best Trading Software?, we are in a new era, new historical uncharted waters, and some of us have won and lost. We have everyone with marketing skills trying to sell the naive the silver bullet. So my question is what is a great trading software that will do the fallowing:

Great end of day updating
Easy criteria that I may setup for my picks
Great real time data
And affordable.

If any of you have any recommendations I would like to start a discussion on them. With the market stuck in a rut, this is a perfect time to check out new software.

In these rough markets it is verry likely to find people with great systems.
we have seen a complete makeover from the markets, this data is something we can use and be succesfull for another few years (untill the next bigger crash)

Sierra Chart with feeds from a variety of sources.

I use my broker (Interactive Brokers) as my data source (free to customers).

I think the best trading software is not available to retail punters. We have to do with the diesel versions against the high octane models the pros use.

I've tried pretty much the lot and I reckon a dart board is as good as anything.

Look at the reviews on Elite Trader - The #1 Site for Active Traders you can get a good idea there (the reviews section o this site is poor by comparison)

Mr Steve

I will fallow all the links you have suggested. Thank you for posting a starting point for me. I am using a program called Trade Navigator bt Genesis, located at
Genesis Financial Technologies - Index
Works OK for end of day data, I also like a lot of the other features. When I subscribe to streaming charts it lacks a lot to be desired ( slow update) not real time.
I have made some bad trades lately because the only real data I can get is my trading data is Option Express. But the charts allthough very good, is all I have. I am looking for another program to replace my trade Navigator that has real time charting that is a little more real time. What computer Charting program do most of you rely upon to base your decision before a trade?
I guess what I am looking for is the best place or software for realtime charting. I do not want to change my broker just because I am looking for another set of eyes.
