John Forman - The Essentials of Trading author

It appears that the trend in trader questions landing in my inbox these days is to ask questions in multiple parts. Another one came in over the weekend from a trader who prefaced his questions by saying

I have been trading(training) for one year now, hard work does pay off…I took a 15 hour in class forex course a year ago and since then I have been practicing, doing homework every single day, trying to understand everything and I am at the level where I know what I am doing, (99.99%) I am taking forex very seriously and it is my long term career. I have all of my strategies worked out and just started to trade last month along with my own trading system which I am implementing B4 placing an order.

The first question this intrepid new(ish) trader had for me was whether I would recommend using charting software, and if so which one would I suggest.

To answer the first part of the inquiry I’m going to say it depends. There are a great many free charting resources out there. Most brokers (forex and otherwise) these days have one through their platforms. Some are certainly better than others. My recommendation is that if your broker has what you need in terms of functionality and timeframe, then I see no reason why you need to spend money on some other charting software, and the price data to feed it.

For my part, I’m a bit mixed. Some of what I do is readily available through most broker charting packages. There are things, however, which are not. That’s stuff like custom indicators (I do some studies on volatility) and system testing. Also, some forex brokers in particular don’t offer charts in longer timeframes, like weekly and monthly. For that reason, I do use paid charting.

In terms of a good general charting package my preferred one is MetaStock. I’ve been using it for over a decade now. The charts are nice. I can do all sorts of things with custom indicators. I can also do loads of systems testing. It’s very handy. (Full Disclosure: I currently am employed by Thomson Reuters, of which MetaStock is part. I, however, came from the Thomson side into the merger and had been a paid user of the charting package since the 90s.)

The other package I use regularly is Sierra Chart. In particular, I do my price distribution analysis with this package (employing the TPO charts). There’s also a really nice play-back feature that I’ve used a couple of times in the videos I have produced. The one thing I would say is that when looking for a source of price distribution charts I found other packages which had what I thought were nicer presentations, but since I was only using that one feature I didn’t see a justification of the much higher price tags.

IBM invests in business partners' training

IBM, which expects to unveil better-than-expected quarterly figures, has announced it will spend some of its cash on incentives to encourage some of its largest partners to invest more in training and other areas.

On Wednesday, the company introduced a scheme to help its business partners who are cooperating on its New Enterprise Data Center strategy. The scheme involves incentives for IBM partners to improve their knowledge in three specific areas: virtualization and consolidation; energy efficiency; and business resiliency.

And Mike Bernard, general business and channels marketing leader at IBM, told ZDNet.co.uk that there is also a fourth area under consideration, but not yet announced: information infrastructure.

"Skills in those areas are what's most needed," Bernard said. "From that the clients will benefit as well as the partners."

There are two levels of incentive for training that partners can apply for: general specialty, for which they will receive $25,000, and specialty elite, for which they get $100,000.

Bernard said the scheme was open to any qualifying partner. "There is no qualification other than that they are undertaking work in the chosen areas. They do that and they qualify and they get the money for it," he said.
