what is the most reliable stock trading software right now.?

All the programs I've seen appear to be based on unsound theories.  I suspect the only people making money are the people selling the programs.  Most people who day trade lose money.  You will most likely lose money too.  See this government website.

There are really no "better sites" for that. Just pick one of the big names like ameritrade or scottrade. As far as making money, when you short a stock you are betting that the value of the stock will decrease over time. So if you think company x is going to do poorly and you short(sell) them at 10 dollars a share and then later buy them back at 5 dollars a share you will have made 5 dollars a share minus trading costs.

First, try trading virtual money on a Simulator real time at Investopedia.com\n\nLook into the Investor platform at TerraNovaOnline.com\nI think this one is free if you open an account there. I use the full-blown package called RealTick for $250/mo. The Investor platform is the same software, sized down to one screen. I use five monitors. This is very technologically advanced softwarefrom Townsend Analytics, the one that digitized the entire Nasdaq last year. Cutting edge technology. If you make some money, then definately upgrade to RealTick.

Try Xpresstrade.com.\nThey are a futures broker but they always show people from all over the world that use their services.

There are a lot of good brokererages depending on what you like and how you trade.\n\nBarron's Online has a great article on brokerages that they publish each year. (I'll try to find you the link for the March 6,2006 article)\n\nFor basic stuff, E*Trade, Ameritrade, and Scottrade are sufficient. For more complex trades, I'd recommend Optionsxpress, ThinkorSwim, or interactivebrokers. \n\nBased on what you put in your question on wanting affordable w/o inactivity fees, I'd recommend optionsxpress since they have no minimum activity that you're required to do.  Further, they have some great strategy scans and a decent virtual trading platform to practice on.\n\nBrokerages like Fidelity are horrible for anyone with any decent experience.  Though they do have decent research stuff.\n\nBut for research, there are SOOO many places to find good stocks.\n\nSo, decide what's important to you as a trader and compare the brokers! You can use the article, or go to each website as they all seem to have comparison charts! \n\nAnd if there are any other particular things that you want to mention as being most important to you (such as executions, cust svc, cheapest trade - which you mentioned, flexibility on allowing you to do certain types of trades, stop and stop limit orders, contingent orders, great graphing, what if scenarios, training, etc), I'll be glad to help discuss this with you too!\n\nIf you have any questions, let me know.\n\nHope that helps!

No, it's not scottrade.  And it's definitely not Fidelity either!\n\nOptionsXpress, ThinkorSwim, or Interactivebrokers are probably the top three choices.  Each has their pros/cons depending on what's important to you.\n\nIf it's just for trade execution, etc, then Optionxpress is very good.  They also have some decent rates (email me).  They also match up to internal orders as well when they can.  Additionally, they have some interesting scanning tools that can help you apply advanced strategies such as ratio spreads, etc to a stock.\n\nInteractivebrokers is probably the cheapest.  It's software based and takes a while to get used to.  They route most of their trades through themselves, so that's one reason they are cheaper.  You'll have to look at how active you are to see what fits best for you.  Of the three, IB has the least desirable search tools, etc.\n\nTOS is relatively new.  They have some amazing tools and are very hungry for business right now (again, email me and I can help you with this).  They have some great routing tools and have scanners specific to spreads, etc.They also (currently) have some fantastic free training as well.  Executions have been decent as well.  And in the long run, your executions'll be the most important.\n\nWith TOS and OXPS, I've been able to call their trading desk and they've been able to help with orders and/or take orders when I've not been at a computer to do the trade as well.\n\nSo, decide what's important to you.  You might also check out Barron's annual article on brokerages that comes out in the spring.\n\nIf you have any further questions, I'll be glad to assist where I can.
