Video Transcript

"This is financial advisor Patrick Munro talking about the pros and cons of using trading software. Trading, as in stock trading, is a risky venture at the best case scenario. So, if you're going to be using software, you need to research the different types of software that are available for your format and your comfort area before you begin to use them. Decide what type of a market you're going to be going after, if it's the affex, or currency market, then make sure you check out magazines and trade journals that would show the specific software for that. If it's commodities, or gold, and you would look at a specific software that would entitle you to that, and of course if it is a stock market, S and P minis or whatever the case may be, make sure you're comfortable with the format and well trained before you execute your hard earned money because stock markets are very unforgiving, and if you're having problems your software and executing trades, you could end up losing money while you're fixing your technical glitches. So, back in research is always important before you make a software or trading software commitment. This is financial adviser, Patrick Munro."
