Can someone tell me a good broker for trading mostly stocks? I'd like a broker that has free software and free EOD data. I'm really wanting some software that has good search features to find stocks that meet my criteria I don't intend to trade more than a few trades a year.

Could you elaborate more on your use of such information? Sounds like you'll be a position trader or trend follower.

 

I tried several brokers and Interactive Brokers has been the best for me by far. I think its scan feature is pretty good and it can interface with third party software--even MS Excel! Data feed is really good too.

 

You can also get free EOD data from Kinetick but I'm not sure if that's only exclusive for Ninjatrader 7 users.

 

If you elaborate I could probably help you out more or perhaps hopefully someone already knows a broker that gives you all that.

Right now I am using Worden TC2000 for stock scanning and it's everything I need in that regard. The problem is it isn't free. I use it to quickly flip through stock charts within certain sectors. So if I identify a sector which I believe is poised to move, I can easily pull up a list of stocks within that sector (usually by loading the index with all stocks that make up that index) and quickly flip through them to find patterns. This quickly flipping through groups of stocks is the most important for me by far.

 

I also like to use it to search for things like high dividends etc.

 

For charting, I like NinjaTrader. I don't have a need to change this but if the package had good scanning capabilities plus user friendly charting like NT, that would be even better.

 

Thanks!

Hmm I'm not sure you'll find a broker that can match all third party features and roll it all into one--I guess that's why there are third parties.

 

I think a great broker coupled with free services will work.

 

Have you tried Finviz screener that's free? I used to use it. The scans are not as comprehensive but maybe because it's free but at least it you can setup your parameters then go to the charts tab after you get the results and you'll see all the charts for each individual stocks that meet the criteria.

 

Check it out and let me know. It'd be interesting if someone does know a broker that has all in one package.

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
