Charting: a course
Article Abstract:
Day traders perceive the market differently from Warren Buffet, but many investors are both interested in short term and long term investments. Programs combining fundamentals and charts cater for such investors with mixed needs, and may have become the most popular type of package sold to British investors. These packages can record transactions, analyze stock prices, and use fundamentals. Third parties can be used to supply data to update the packages, and this involves paying a fee each month.
