Broker With Good Software

Recommended Posts

Can someone tell me a good broker for trading mostly stocks? I'd like a broker that has free software and free EOD data. I'm really wanting some software that has good search features to find stocks that meet my criteria I don't intend to trade more than a few trades a year.

Could you elaborate more on your use of such information? Sounds like you'll be a position trader or trend follower.

 

I tried several brokers and Interactive Brokers has been the best for me by far. I think its scan feature is pretty good and it can interface with third party software--even MS Excel! Data feed is really good too.

 

You can also get free EOD data from Kinetick but I'm not sure if that's only exclusive for Ninjatrader 7 users.

 

If you elaborate I could probably help you out more or perhaps hopefully someone already knows a broker that gives you all that.

Right now I am using Worden TC2000 for stock scanning and it's everything I need in that regard. The problem is it isn't free. I use it to quickly flip through stock charts within certain sectors. So if I identify a sector which I believe is poised to move, I can easily pull up a list of stocks within that sector (usually by loading the index with all stocks that make up that index) and quickly flip through them to find patterns. This quickly flipping through groups of stocks is the most important for me by far.

 

I also like to use it to search for things like high dividends etc.

 

For charting, I like NinjaTrader. I don't have a need to change this but if the package had good scanning capabilities plus user friendly charting like NT, that would be even better.

 

Thanks!

Hmm I'm not sure you'll find a broker that can match all third party features and roll it all into one--I guess that's why there are third parties.

 

I think a great broker coupled with free services will work.

 

Have you tried Finviz screener that's free? I used to use it. The scans are not as comprehensive but maybe because it's free but at least it you can setup your parameters then go to the charts tab after you get the results and you'll see all the charts for each individual stocks that meet the criteria.

 

Check it out and let me know. It'd be interesting if someone does know a broker that has all in one package.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
