Hints And Tips For Selecting The Best Stock Picking Software

By Peter Skonctue

For those out there who are either already in the stock market or are considering getting into the stock market, knowing a few tips for selecting the best stock picking software can come in handy. This is especially in cases where one isn't comfortable relying on the continuous advice of a broker who may or may not be generating commissions based on "churning."

Churning is a series of actions taken by some unscrupulous brokers who will constantly buy and sell and trade stocks or other securities on the constant basis on behalf of a client. Whether the stocks make money or lose money, the broker will be making money based on the commissions charged for each trade. Stock picking software can help a person avoid this over reliance on a broker.

Normally, this sort of software operates through the automation of the analysis and then selection of stocks that it is hoped will have a high likelihood of positive gain. What this means is that the software can help one "buy low and sell high." Most of these programs synchronize themselves to market performance benchmarks and data gathered in real-time to ensure their accuracy.

For the most part, there are several kinds of software out on the market. Each has its own set of features and benefits, though there are certain characteristics that are germane to all of them. Significance-based software works for those who have little time to evaluate the most opportune times to buy and then sell a stock. These types of software automate the process fairly efficiently.

Significance software works to scan stocks placed onto a list by the software user or an industry sector -- for example, automobile suppliers -- and will then analyze and present a list of stocks that it deems to be the best performing. It is able to gather its data and then present it by looking at current exchange reports and then laying them out so that traders can may their best decisions.

With functional software, the effort will be undertaken such that the software synchronizes to the up-and-down movements within the stock market and it will take these performance behaviors with an eye toward looking at stocks that are traded and at what prices. Working its way through a series of decision points it will come to a list of stocks that are the most valuable. It can also be customized.

General features that are usually common to a number of these different programs involve things like international quotes and stock tickers, which most every software program contains. Also, most such software programs can track a user's portfolio and then send out a customized alert if commanded. They all also have graphing and charting capabilities and can communicate via e-mail with their users.

It's important to remember that any stock picking software program works by analyzing and then selecting a stock, which can make the task much easier on a user, though no software program can guarantee 100% success. They are all extremely good at gathering together data and analyzing it and presenting their case, but -- as always -- remember that the final output might not be fully accurate. - 23222
