The Basics of Stock Trading Programs

By Peter Skonctue

Some people wonder what stock trading robots are, what they do and how they work. These robots are actually not robots at all! They are computer programs that help stock investors to decide which stocks are best to buy and which stocks are most profitable.

Before one can understand what a trading robot is, it is first important to gain an idea of what trading is and how can investors make money of it.

When people buy and sell stocks they are trading; however the idea is to make a profit of the difference. If someone buys a stock for $20 dollars then they would hope to sell it for more than that. In many cases a lot more than that. Just a few years ago all stock trading went through banks and financial advisors, but now with the technology of the internet, many individuals are involved in stock trading.

What are Stock Trading Programs?

These programs are made to assist investors in their studies of market trends. This is done using a computer software program that watches the trends. Once the program has a tip for the user then it sends the investor a tip. These tips help investors decide which stocks they should purchase. They give the user information on which stocks are likely to rise soon as well as information on which stocks will make them the most money.

Many people question where the stock trading program actually came from. Many people are quick to give you their version of the story. One version is that the program was created by an ex- stock trader. In all honesty it is hard to say whether this is true or not. It has also been said that the stock trading program was developed by a software designer.

Investors must purchase a stock trading program. Once they have purchased it then they can either use a website, that they are given special access to, to get information on the latest market trends. Some programs have the option of allowing the user to get e-mails with tips as well. The program also makes it simple for the user to purchase the stock that he or she has just received a tip on. The stock trading program keeps the investor updated with information about how the stock is doing.

Does it Work?

Stock trading programs defiantly work; however there is a catch to them. Most investors find that their stock increase while using these programs, but many investors are concerned about how this occurs.

Many stock trading programs promote their users to invest in penny stocks. Penny stocks are traded easily and they can be purchased for 20 cents a share, sometime they can be purchased for less than that. Most investors will tell you that investing in penny stocks is a high risk thing to do. That is because they are not very popular. They tend to rise rapidly, but when investors sell they decline very quickly.

Some people say that the only reason that stock trading programs work is because he robot picks up on an increase of sales. This issue has yet to be resolved. - 31876
