Teach A Man To Fish And.........

Hello all,

I'm new to this thread. Just recently became interested in stock markets. Reason: want to be financially independent as soon as possible. This thread is really awesome. I really appreciate all the hard work by Saint and others.

I have one question:

What graphing tools do you recommend for a beginner? Right now I work fulltime, so I don't really have time to trade intraday. Firstly, I need to know how to get my hands on stock data (daily, weekly, etc.) in a nice format, and also a graphing tool that will easily import that data, and allow me to draw lines and such. I've looked at Metastock, but it seems quite expensive, and also from their website it seems only interprets data from isignal and quotecenter, which also are very expensive.

Thanks

Riz

It took them one decade and $12 million to solve this problem. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on practically any surface including crystal, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And what did the Russians do? The Russians used a pencil.

So Saint did not go for RSI,MS,MACD, Smoothed this and that , he also used a Pencil : THE PIVOTS.
Great read, though still to grasp the thing becoz of my own IQ level. But undoubtedly very simple to use !!!

Hi Nafees
First of all a very warm welcome to you in Traderji. I'll try to answer your questions one by one. A the very first, there's absolutely no need of navigating thru' the countless pages to find Saint's articles. You can as well download the compiled version along with the querries at the following location:

http://www.************/network/sear...teach+man+fish
In place of ************ type "4shared(dot)com"

under the name of "Teach a man to fish" as PDF file. I'm sure you can go thru' the pdf file much more comfortably.

Regarding opening a trading a/c, I'd advise you to approach any brokerage house and open a trading accouunt. The broker will infact guide you on different issues starting from opening the account to buying and selling in shares.

One these two are done you will be fully equipped to trade. Hope this helps. In case of further querry feel free to write.

Cheers
djsinha
