Stock trading software review

I prepared this page with review of stock trading software I use or I used in past.

From my point of view I divide stock market trading software into these categories:

  1. Stock analysis software
  2. Stock trading software
  3. Stock market screener

A lot of software products offer more features and can fall into more then one category I described above. You need to check what you need and then check several different software packages to find the best stock trading software package for you.


Stock analysis software

This software helps trader to do technical analysis of stock charts . User can apply different technical indicators. Good analysis program should offer also back testing features for testing of (automated) trading systems.

I personally use Amibroker as my main stock technical analysis software.

There is also possible to use some web sites which offer browser based stock chart analysis.

Stock trading software

This type of software is provided by broker. It offer trading functionality like watching realtime quotes , entering orders, managing orders, managing portfolios , managing realtime watchlist and so.

I personally use these two stock trading software packages:

  • First one is Peak Access - the stock trading software of my broker . I am managing orders and my open positions through it.
  • Second one is QuoteTracker - this is very nice free stock trading software.

I prefer direct access trading platforms to use. Online web based platforms are not good choice for short term trading.

Stock market screener

This is very special type of software. It allows to find stocks which fulfill predefined criteria. It is very powerful tool because it helps to speed up process of stock picking .

AmiBroker has very nice feature which allows you to define and use a lot of free stock screeners .

Here are free stock screener examples I use for one of my stock trading strategy.
