Software for research?

[Paul24]

At the moment I've just been using commsec.

I just look at the top preformers for the day then see if theres been an annoucement, eg they found gold. Then I just jump on the band wagon.

But commsec doesnt give me the ability to say search by a sector and put in specific paramters for increase in share price since last day etc...

What softer has this ability?

Incredible Charts has a scanner that does what you ask.

The free version has data delayed by 16hrs.

Very easy to use

More powerful alternatives include Amibroker,Bullcharts, Metastock

Add Pulse and MarketScan by Paritech
and Market Analyser Professional by MDS Financial

I use both, scanning after Market Close for candidates, then checking the resulting watchlist during Trading in real time.
