I have looked at both Commsec, and Metastock.
Commsec have a very "computer friendly" looking broking service,
however I'm happy with the ASB at present and have always had good service
from them, and my problem is more how I get and process information, as
opposed to how I make trades.
The ASB can not do the trailing stop, that you recommended, but
they knew what they were so I will continue to use stop losses. [ I failed
to have a stop loss on CPU this week and am repenting]
Metastock were very good to deal with, and are giving me a free look
at the system, which helps to establish a bond of trust.
The price is not a big deal, Macdunk is a builder, and will tell
us tools in the building game are not cheap, but they increase
productivity. [I had major renovations done on my house recently and a
builder with a nail gun can produce more, and be gets paid more than
one without] the same is true of tools, in the trading
game.
I need better tools, the CPU debacle alone this week has cost a bomb,
preventing that alone would have paid for Meatstock, I know I could have
watched things closer, or put on a stop loss, but economic and social
activity must go on, an alert, would have helped.
Will keep you posted.
Allan.
