It depends a bit on your timescale of trading, a day trader wouldn't use the same programs as an end-of-day trader.\n\nMetastock and Tradestation are supposed to be the best, but expensive.\n\nI use Stockwiz for French stocks and end-of-day trading. It's completely programmable, which is what I wanted, but the programming language is somewhat primitive.\nBut it's free.\n\nhttp://www.stockwiz.com/

I used www.oanda.com to play the forex market.  Look for their demo game section and create an account.  They will give you $100,000 to start.  The charts are in real time.  If you have questions more questions about the site, e-mail me.

There is a lot of information and examples on the website.  \n\nhttp://www.stockwiz.com/\n\nCaveat:\n- You still need a service to get your daily stockquotes, which is most likely *not* free

Honestly it is upto you.  I like E-trade the most.  They are very helpful if you have issues with you site and/or account.  I have been with E-Trade since its infancy and so far not too many issues to bicker about.  Now you cant blame E-trade if you take risks and lose money. They also have awesome resources to study and see histories.

I tried wizetrade for 30 days. Then I turned it back. The system works but you have to have a lot of time and training and available time to trade. You just have to pay for the software then the data feed each month. The data feed can get expensive relative to how much you make. It was not good for me since I worked when the market was open. I just found the 3000 or more plus the data feed a little to much plus the 40000+ stocks. \nI now trade the forex market and I would consider the 4x system since it is a 24 hour market, and only 6 major currencies to watch instead of 40000+. I have found a much less expensive system than 4x made easy. I have turned my paltry 3000 into 4200 in 40 days and I have been right everytime and it only cost 100 to get into. Good luck.  Watch the videos and see what you can get. It is not my website nor can you join. but I can get you access if you ask a question again about freedomrocks. You will be pleasantly surprised.

The proper platform for Day Trading is RealTick at TerraNova. It will cost you $275/mo. No other online broker comes close, so save yourself a lot of effort. You have to have immediate executions, the most tecnologically advanced system in the world (an edge), and a vast array of indicators. This is RealTick.\n\nWhether you make money is up to you.

Sort of.  If you have an account with any of the major exchanges, then they will provide the real-time tick data for you.  Of course, if you go to a bucket shop type place, they'll be streaming their own version of prices, but it's fairly accurate.  They usually just widen it out a bit.\n\nAs long as you keep the account open, you should get the data.  You don't have to make trades.

Software cannot predict stock prices reliably.  It's been scientifically shown that price trends have no predictive value--in other words, it's basically random.\n\nIf software could predict stock prices, people would use that information to dump money in and out of those stocks, which would change the price and render the prediction useless.
