You can program your own trading systems and indicators, but I haven’t yet got into this side.  Similarly, you can set up criteria for scanning the market for opportunities.

One important thing is that this software is designed for end of day trading.  If you want a real time system, you’ll need to look elsewhere.  The only other drawback is that there is no way to easily tile or manage multiple windows in this software (there may be but I haven’t seen it yet).

How would I sum up SpiffyCharts trading software?  Well I think that it is excellent.  For a start, the price is right, since it is free.  Secondly, this software is incredibly powerful and logical.  Once you read the basic manual, you can understand the principles of this software and start to unleash it.  It has all the features you would want, and if you want more, you can write your own extensions in its own programming language (similar to EasyLanguage, but based around the C syntax).

If you use a Mac and want some top shelf trading software that doesn’t require you to install Windows, I recommend that you download a copy of SpiffyCharts.
