I am looking for a good in-depth stocks or investment application. I have tried GRISM but it is lacking. There are others Ive found like JStock which uses java, Eclipse Trader which is not user friendly. Stock Market Eye looks interesting, but it is pricey. Can anyone recommend anything else out there? Thanks!

  • Actually I doubt that there is a decent stock trading application available for Linux. I recommend you VMWare/VirtualBox with MetaTrader or something.

If you're looking for technical analysis software, then QTStalker is a good native application. Amibroker runs well under the current versions of Wine and Crossover.

TDAmeritrade's Trade Architect runs through a web browser so you do not have to install anything. I would expect it to utilize some hefty processor time if you want the real-time bells and whistles.

You will need to open an account (with minimal funding) to use their platforms, but you can use them purely for research as opposed to active trading.
