Specialist packages for the advanced user
Article Abstract:
Investors can explore graphic methods of analyzing share prices in depth by using specialist computer software. They can view data as three-dimensional graphs using 3D from MESA (UK), or explore cycles in the futures and commodities markets using SUMMIT from the same company. Other methods include Candlestick charting, Elliot Wave analysis and Gann lines. Options markets can also be analyzed with Intelligent Research Systems' Options Evaluator. These products tend to be more expensive than less sophisticated software products.

How to pick a program
Article Abstract:
Investors use software to chart the progress of their shares and assess their tax position if they sell the shares. Spreadsheets can be used to calculate losses and gains, but more sophisticated products allow data to be downloaded rather than entered manually. Investors should ensure the software they buy is compatible with their hardware, and should trial software before purchasing it. They should begin with simple software which can often be easily upgraded, since they may not have time to learn to use complex software.
