Step 2

Step 3
Decide which type of investment strategy you want use. Investment software is only as effective as the information the user inputs into the application. If you are using the software to invest in stocks, you need to determine the investment criteria for these stocks. For instance, should your investment goal be high dividends, a high dividend yield for the stock would be an important input for the investment software.
