Software

The trading software used by this blog author:

Metatrader 4 - a software provided by most brokers as a trading platform. Mostly used for trading FX markets which actually failed to provide an honest trading environment reason why this particular trader will only go back there with a billion dollars to get vengeance :))) (that last one is a joke but then again all jokes have their truths hidden inside)

Metatrader 5 - currently used for futures trading, the platform can provide everything you need but requires quite a skilled programmer. There are many platforms easier to use than MT5 however since we have a long history with MT4 we found MT5 the easiest to use when the transition from forex to futures was made.

Amibroker - the main software for crunching data and analyzing the markets. In our opinion is probably the best software for that as it provides everything required to be able to get what you need from your data. You can use it in simple ways or you can make things as complicated as you like because it barley limits you in any way. Whatever you wish from your data you can get it with Amibroker.
