Top notch options
Article Abstract:
There is a range of investment software packages offering powerful tools for United Kingdom investors and costing between 500 pounds sterling and 1,500 pounds. Synergy Technical Analyst uses DOS, and still offers good value despite newer products having been developed using Windows. Roberts and Slade's First Alert is a good all-round package from the US, which can be rented. A number of packages use Gann techniques, including Advanced GET. Companies usually permit a trial period, so investors should try products prior to purchasing them. They should also assess their needs and whether software packages address them, in order not to have to try too many packages.

Schools of thought: first principles
Article Abstract:
The most important aspect of using investment software is ensuring that data used is accurate. Inaccuracies can persist and render analyses useless, leading to financial disaster. Investors should also consider how they want to present data, such as bar charts or figure charts. Larger databases need more memory, and using only a small amount of data may lead to wrong decisions being taken. Investors should also assess whether they are short or long term traders, and whether they need educational resources with their software.

Taking centre stage
Article Abstract:
There is exceptional value available from mid-priced investment software in the United Kingdom, and some UK products offer excellent quality, though US prices tend to be agressively competitive. A number of packages allow investors to update using Teletext, and Winstock and Updata offer such packages. The Japanese candlestick charts is a popular technique that many traders use, and Candlestick Forecaster is avaiable to help identify a number of Candlestick patterns.
