I used to use a spreadsheet but am currently using https://www.stockportfolioorganizer.com and can highly recommend it. If you only want to track the current value a spreadsheet is free and fine for the task. But as soon as you start adding dividends etc it becomes to cumbersome.

What market do you trade? NinjaTrader is pretty popular around the world and highly regarded.

The problem with these neural network and genetic programming software packages is the tendency to curve fit. Many years ago I tried programs like TradingSolutions, Neuroshell, Adaptrade etc. Spent countless hours and weekends and finally made something that I thought I could trade but...

You can also try NinjaTrader. Seems to be what everyone I know uses. But MetaTrader is also pretty good. Don't think you can go wrong with either.

I don't think such a thing exists. Companies usually make announcements when there are large changes in holding I believe. I think the closest you can get to something like this is to watch the orders in the market depth and track the large transactions. Not sure it would be that useful though.

From what I read Coinbase is happy to take your money and give you BTC but won't let you withdraw it unless you have a US bank account. Something to consider...

To me TTWO looks like it has tanked. I have never seen a moving average crossover strategy win except in a strong bullish market.

I have heard that metatrader is pretty good and flexible. There is also NinjaTrader that seems to be pretty good. If your broker is supported by both platforms you should try them both to see which you like the most.

If you are after technology stocks for investments then look for stocks that have a monopoly in their corner of the market. Like Google, Microsoft, Facebook etc

Nothing beats a 24 inch monitor, comfortable chair and an ergonomic keyboard. I much prefer my desktop to my laptop for actually doing stuff.

Lots of good advice here. Day trading is very hard and you are competing with retail traders with big money to burn on fancy systems and analysis. I would suggest lots of practice paper trading before you burn through your cash day trading.
