Features

Look for software that can track the portfolio of stocks you own as well as stocks you are watching for potential buys. Tracking software is available that can make comparisons between different stocks and market sectors. Often a subscription service is required in addition to the tracking software to enable the program to gather stock price data. Some programs can evaluate past and present prices and identify specific patterns and trends that may indicate a stock's direction in the near future. Be advised that even the best software that performs technical analysis can fail to predict the next price move of a stock, and investors must always stay alert to market news and changes.
Stock Market Timing Software
-
Some stock tracking programs are designed specifically to evaluate data on stocks and give buy and sell signals to aid investors in making trading decisions. Software may use a number of factors in determining buy and sell alerts, such as recent stock price patterns and the activity of a stock's volume trading. For example, predicting buy and sell timing can be based on the theory of the law of supply and demand. A stock's price typically rises on heavy buying volume, and drops on heavy selling volume. Stock market timing software can issue alerts as it monitors your stocks.
