Re: Best Beginning Software

if you are a beginner the best software is pencil and paper or a spreadsheet.

i have been at this for years and KISS.

computers have made the majority of people lazy.

I have to agree with these comments. I confess, I have stacks of notebooks with manually calculated daily ranges, ave true ranges, ave failed moves, commitments of traders positions and the like. I've always thought calculating moves and charting a few instruments manually, kept me (my mind) more in tune with significant levels/prices like daily and weekly highs and lows. Keeping a note pad with a crude pencil drawn chart on my desk seems to embed these levels deeper into my mind than an orange or yellow line across a chart. e.g. can you remember last weeks high and low of the instrument you're trading without looking at your chart?

Re: Best Beginning Software

What about metatrader?
Is it good?
Or is it just for trading and not the analysis ?

Re: Best Beginning Software

QuantShare looks another great software and yet cheap. Data management is very easy with it: http://www.quantshare.com/sa-15-simulator
