Issues To Remember When Deciding On The Most Effective Stock Picking Software

By Peter Skonctue

Knowing a bit about the ins and outs of stock picking software can be important for those who are contemplating getting into the stock market or are already in but may not have the time to work on identifying the most likely stocks for success. Also, software can help when one doesn't want to entrust one's entire portfolio to a broker who may or may not be engaging in "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.

Generally speaking, there are a few different kinds of software available for use, with each having a number of benefits and features and also a number of similar characteristics among all types. The first one, significance software, is probably appropriate for those who don't have very much time to decide when the best buying and selling periods are. The process is completely automated with this particular software program.

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.

Understand that the most common features to any stock picking software platform is that it will do its work by analysis and then selection of a stock or a number of stocks. This can make the job of buying, selling or trading much easier on investor but no software program can guarantee complete success. The final output, in other words, might not be fully accurate. - 23208
