Software
Platform
This one is a little easier!
The vast majority of software on the market today is designed for
the Windows platform. Leading analysis software programs in the IBM compatible world
include - MetaStock, OmniTrader, TradeStation, OptionVue etc.
One of the only analysis programs In the Mac market is
Trendsetter, from
TrendSoft (USA). This
program is very well written and fully leverages the additional capabilities of the Mac
operating system.
Programs in the Linux world are slowly emerging as more
and more programmers start to focus on this market place. Many of these programs are based
on the Open Source model. For example, gstalker is an excellent, free program offering
charting capabilities. http://gstalker.sourceforge.net/main.jpeg
