Window on the world of investment
Article Abstract:
Investment software has benefited from the introduction of Windows which has made commands simpler to use and has improved graphics. Packages previously tended to be difficult to use with low-level graphics. A large number of packages are available in the UK for under 250 pounds sterling and one such package is Windows on Wall Street. This gives comprehensive charting facilities and includes trading systems. New investors who are restricted in terms of their budget would benefit from using this software.

The tools of the trade
Article Abstract:
Software is a useful tool for understanding the options market. Option pricing software can assess underlying values as distinct from market values of options, and volatility levels. Software can also help investors develop trading strategies. The sensitivity of prices for options to changes in underlying share prices can also be calculated, as can profit and loss levels at different share prices during the life of a particular option.
