Dear Dan
I am very thankful to you for your kind advice on commodities TA .
I met a person many days back who has never lost even a single trade in commodities(as he told me) and that guy is using some software which he does not reveals.He told me that he customises the s/w for different time frames for different commodities like crude oil etc. He also told me that he is paying few dollars for that s/w. Can u please tell me which are the companies in India which provides s/w for technical analysis?
I want to go for chart reading myself , so that I can customise it for different time frames.Also tell me are there any s/w which are freely available ?
I donot know much about how these S/w work to predict the prices in next 5 , 10 ,15 ....minutes. Can you please put some light on this??
Thanks

Hi sainipawan
Thanks for your kind words. You should give more thanks to Raunak, as he is the thread owner and takes all the time to teach you. I am sure, that also other members here have a better knowledge about companies in India which provides s/w for technical analysis than I have.
My experience about software for TA analyses is this : I use Metastock pro 9.2.

Today I use
https://www.premiumdata.net/support/subscribe.php as data down loader. Had some others before, but this is enough for my TA
If you want to test on a 5 / 10 / 15 min time frame or on what ever, it not has to be from India. Charts work all over the same. If you really want to test, make it simple and try your knowledge on this tools :
http://chartgame.com/ or
http://www.tradingsim.com/
Or choose a broker in India and ask him to test his trading platform.
Finally : Any of this software can not take away your decision, to make the trade or not. It can help you to see a range or a trend. It can help you to set stop losses and it can help you to choose the right strikes for certain ideas.
There is limitation to TA like there is limitation to any other trading idea if it is no PA or SNAP or what ever. Nothing is perfect and if told so, you are lied to. A lot in TA relates to experience like with any way of trading.
One of the best traders in the world is a woman. Here name is Linda Braschke and she trades mainly one pattern and this is the triangle. Before searching to much for s/w, you may try one of my ideas and put in all what Raunak and others have written down in this thread in hours and hours. There is more than enough knowledge in this thread to learn. Columbus has also a thread in TA on Bollinger Bands trading.
I not want to discourage you, but I guess you have to spend some money on good TA s/w as all that free stuff is very limited down to a few possibility's. EBay is a good place to search for some s/w like Metastock or Omnitrader. You may also have a look in the software section in this forum about s/w for TA.
Let see, what others have to say about your query.
