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.

Great EOD charts, but let down by lack of TA filters.

The other problem for me is the portfolio's, you cannot see one one page the values of your investments. You cannot also get rid of the shares you have sold from the main portfolio view.
