ShareScope Reviews

I use the Sharescope Gold software for end of day data. It offers data on Shares, Indices, Investment Trusts, Gilts, Commodities, ETF's, Forex and just about anything you can imagine. It literally has tens of thousands of charts. Not only is it charting software but you can also get in depth information about individual companies including all sorts of ratios along with standard balance sheet information.

As for the charting, you can customise your chart to look any way you want. In fact, I don't think I've ever used software with more options! There are all of the well known technical indicators, Point and Figure, Renko, Kagi charts and all sorts of exotic features!

It is possible to keep portfolios of your holdings but I find this feature pretty pointless as you may as well just check your real portfolio with your broker!

One of the best features is the 'Data Mining' feature where you can instantly search through thousands of shares to find ones that match certain adjustable filters. You can have as many or as few filters you like and if there isn't one there that you like you can contact support via the Sharescope Forum and I am sure they will happily help.

This really is great Software for anyone looking for quality end of day data and for £16 p/m I am happy that it pays for itself through my investments. They also offer intraday packages too that are available for free trials.

Highly Recommended.

the end of day program is perfect

For a rounded suite of financial stock software, it has no compitition in the UK. This coupled with brilliant support makes it the best.

Was disappointed with the TA features as they are fairly important to me, only had a trial of it but found the UI a little too clunky (I used to develop UIs so maybe I'm just picky)

Very good value for money end-of-day package. Difficult to beat, with few problems. Others have given a lot of good reviews, which I agree with, so I will give my one gripe - which is quality of data. They really need to sort out the historic data on shares pre-mid 2000. We need HLCOV for these shares please!

Otherwise a pretty good package, easy to use, very good support (unlike, e.g. Omnitrader), frequent upgrades, data mining, very intuitive and fairly responsive to requests.

Very reliable and relatively quick to get into. I used Sharescope for around 4 months, but have since stopped using it as P&F is very important to me and also the TA in it is not particularly advanced. I would recommend it however to any user who is looking for a good, solid, but essentially basic all-round product. It is certainly unbeatable at the price, but not everyone wants "Economy" bread from the supermarket.

I have generally been very pleased with Sharescope End-Of-Day since I started using it a year ago. It is a vast improvement on Synergy's Portfolio Evolution which I was using previously for a similar price. The charting side is top notch. A lot of fundamental data is supplied (sourced from HemScott). I recently asked them if gearing and some further price ratios could be added. They told me gearing and other new fundamental data will be added in the next release (early 2004).

Although the Data Mining is powerful, once you know how to use it, it's range of technical indicators is too limited. Sharescope is regularly updated at no extra cost. Hopefully Data Mining will eventually get an upgrade.

Having spent years, and a fortune on software and lots of frustration with UPDATA ,tried AIQ METASTOCK and others at great cost, finally went for SHARESCOPE EOD.
I have never regretted that decision would have saved me a fortune,does exactly as it says on the tin and I have never had a problem, good support and must be the best value on the market.
East to use technical AND great fundamental analysis.
Am I on commission?
No

So save some money and try this first

The EOD product is very slick and clean in operation. It's multi layer design makes it very easy to get started without burdening you with lots of complicated functionality in the beginning. My only criticism of this approach was that I nearly gave up on the software in the belief that it was not very powerful, I am glad that I persisted.

The fundamental data and data mining are very powerful combinations but I do feel the products lacks sophisticated technical analysis features. For this I use MetaStock V8. Even the Portfolio manager is a great tool in it’s own right allowing multi portfolio management as well as grouping and consolidation. Anything that will save the accountants bill at the end of the year has to be worth it.

At only £11ish / month for the s/w and data, I’m hooked.

Love SS EOD. Although a total novice on charts when I bought it, it took me through. I can have as many or as few lines on it as I want. Am even coming to grips with data mining. Has taught me a lot about share movements simply through analysing their screens.
