Why BullCharts? I reviewed the available charting software packages in 2005, and I chose BullCharts as my charting package of choice. My reasons for choosing BullCharts were valid then and are still valid. They are listed on my web site. What is BullCharts? The official BullCharts web site says: “BullCharts is an innovative charting and technical analysis system. It provides a feature rich and powerful set of tools with access to the latest strategies from local and overseas authors in analysing the dynamics of the stock market.” You need to subscribe? Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide all this information for free. To receive the e-Newsletter package each month you need to subscribe. The good news? The rates are very reasonable. Not convinced? It's great value for money! Better than buying another text book that you might not find time to read. By studying Brainy's articles as they become available each month you will effectively be learning about trading and technical analysis and BullCharts in bite-size pieces each month.
