What type of software should I get for stock trading?

Most of your trading can be done with what pages are readily available on-line... but if you want to pursue advanced techniques in " day trading"...I would suggest logging on to Investor's Underground...there are free blogs there where experienced traders comment on exactly what programs they use/ prefer.... Their " chat- rooms" for trading require a fee, but much information is available before you decide whether you would want to get involved with the real pros.
