WOW Day Trader is essentially Windows on Wallstreet Professional with a
real time feed. If you get it via DTN it costs $895.00 and as such is
probably the best deal available for a real time analysis package. The
funcionality is all there and the interface is not too bad. Speaking as
a programmer I would have made some slightly different choices, but I
find it quite usable. The system language is very similar to
Metastock's and is powerful enough for most uses. I have been told they
are going to add support for EasyLanguage. I have no idea when or if
this might happen.
Given your trading style I can offer a suggestion you might want to look
into. I don't trade mutual funds myself, but I know people who use AIQ
Trading Expert with the Matchmaker program to do fund switching. You
use Matchmaker to correlate a group of stocks that perform like the
mutual fund you are interested in and then use the AIQ analysis of these
groups for trading signals. This works particularly well with tightly
correlated funds like the Fidelity selects. Just a thought.
