If StockshareV2 deserves a credit, then it must be related to its ability in providing user customization. Unlike other Java based platforms in the market, StockshareV2 allow users to draw and employ information from a variety of source. Aside from the software’s own database of historical data that they gathered online, the users can feed the platform with their own ASCII data, and many another databases from an external source. This kind of flexibility though is somehow highlighting the product’s weakness, and that is its average quality data pool. The software’s tendency to market its adaptability in utilizing external sources is simply blanketing the fact that its performance is dull without the customization and adaptability features.

The software seems to be aware of its comprehensive lack. Whether it is a stock, an index, a mutual fund or a commodity symbol, the amount of the 20 years worth of historical data is below adequate in comparison to other products trying to do the same thing. Such lack is given a consolation, and that is the designers’ talent in graphics. Candlestick graphs, bar graphs, line charts, you name it—the software can render them in a way so visually pleasant. Adding to such sheer graphic impressiveness is an easy interface packed with a user configuration feature. If pitted against its rivals, StockShareV2 is top performing in terms of allowing their users to modify, match, organize and arrange their preferred data frames. The platform can accommodate multiple tabs for the most multitasking investors, one of the features that Java-based End of day software finds difficulty to deliver.

One of the few features that StockShareV2 is very proud of is its generous access to stock data feeds online. The problem with these feeds, however is that they are delayed, not mentioning also very limited. Given the number of stock news software in the market, this product is way below average in terms of delivering feeds. While other software programs can feature automatic and live feeds from seemingly unlimited data sources, StockShareV2 is stuck at less than 130,000. While other products promise quality data sources, the software conveniently declares that it has no control over the data, which they provide their users access to. It is very proud of delivering free information on delistings, consolidations, merges, name changes, capital returns, and so many others, but come on, almost all stock software programs are doing this, and in a much better manner.

To sum this up, any decent StockShareV2 review will tell you that it is an average performing historical end of day stock reporter and smart investing trainer which, just like other platforms of its kind, give investors an interactive environment in which they can apply their selling, purchasing, and holding skills. The software provides a decent number of information bases through which investors can analyze, compare and save along with an array of technical studies. The software smartly mixes traditional, modern, and experimental tools, overlays, indicators, and other utilities in technical analysis to facilitate better decision-making. Embracing outside sources, StockShareV2 is flexible to additional features and plug ins, allowing itself to keep their captive users and prevent them from trying something else elsewhere.
