NOVICE TRADER SERIES
Editor,
It’s a great idea that STOCKS & COMMODITIES
includes the Novice Trader
articles. You will surely gain more new
readers with the series while not losing
the current ones. I’d like to suggest that
in your future issues, you may want to
present such topics as Fibonacci, Elliott
wave, and Dow theory basics.
I’m not a security- or investment-related
professional, but I like to trade.
Being a daytrader is out of the question
for me, but I want to catch intermediate
up- and downtrends. Can you recommend
software that is not too costly and
that has good charting capabilities and
indicators for weekly (not daily or
monthly) stock and index trends?
RICHARD ZHU
Thanks for your suggestions. Regarding
our novice articles, we have recently
added a Staff Writer, which will
allow us to run more of the articles like
the ones you mention. With regard to
software, we publish product reviews
each month. In addition, our 1999 Bonus
Issue, available only to subscribers,
contains our Readers’ Choice
Awards for favorite technical analysis
software, and our Website contains the
Software Comparison Table, which details
software features. We can’t recommend
individual products to each of our
readers because everyone’s needs and
budgets are different, but we try to provide
as much information as we can to
help you narrow down your choices.—
