Hi all,
I have been in the share market for awhile and now wanting to add another element to my investment approach. I’m currently looking into trading on technically analysis and I’m sure that most of you are aware there’re many choices in trading software.
In regards to charting companies I’m currently reading up on Paritech and educated myself on their products and services. Is there any other charting software that someone can recommend before taking a plunge?
Also, with charting guidelines/education where is the best spot to look to be fully prepared before I start playing with real money. I have been through many website and spent countless hours reading and playing with charts, I’m just after other trader’s opinions as you can never be too prepared, and just a quick note I’m not after any quick get rich scheme and looking to put in the long hard yards.
I will appreciate any feedback/constructive criticism to further my education. Thanks to all in advance.
Happy investing/Trading to all
