Hello,
This is great timing to be reading about the Wisetrade software for me.. I just attended one of their seminars and although I was extremely skeptical at first -- I am a bit more comfortable with the idea of purchasing it now....
But, a few things perplex me about this thread here which I wanted to ask some questions about....
Some of you refer to it as "snake oil" - because of the "red/green/blue" (or whatever color they are) lights... It seems perfectly logical to me that a company, in an attempt to market it's products, would try to spin it in the most favorable light possible.... However, when you attend their seminars they do seem to explain a lot more and that like anything else this is basically a "system" for analyzing stock (at least, that is what I got from it).... Honestly, I don't think that's a fair analysis and here new people are (like me) trying to figure out a reasonable way to get into the stock market and all we get is extreme positions......
Wisetrade *specifically* told me that between purchasing the software and attending the full-day training session that I should paper trade with it as much as possible... If that paper trading does not impress me, I can get a refund at the training session.... That seems reasonable to me....
What does not seem reasonable is that I cannot resell my software later... I will insist on this and I thank the user who posted his problem with that.....
To me, this is nothing but a tool to analyze stock and help determine when to buy/when to sell.. I plan on using it in conjunction with (I forget the name of that paper Investor Weekly or something which gives a fundamental rating on the stock?) and using what they have at the top of their list as the stocks to consider evaluating with Wisetrade... I'm not sure how that willwork, but you can be darn sure that I will test it thoroughly before throwing any money into it.....
As for all the "professionals" here who are so quick to pass along the "snake oil" argument -- what would you propose that novices like us do instead?... Your tools are virtually incomprehensible to me -- it's too much data to process and I don't want to look at *everything*... Do I doubt, for a single moment, that a professional could analyze all of this data and probably make better picks then I do -- of course I don't -- I'm sure you can... But, wouldn't you agree that Wisetrade, for all of it's faults is just a tool and like any tool it depends on how you use it?....
I thought I would come here to find impartial advice on this subject, but I see what I have really found is just the other side of the argument....
I will, at least, post as I progress with the software and try to remain objective... And if I lose my shirt - I've nobody to blame but myself, I consider myself warned... If, on the other hand, I do well I think it only fair that certain posters here eat a big old crow.....
Now that all that is said and done, is there someplace to discuss Wisetrade that is not moderated by the Wisetrade vendor?.. I would like someone to give me *ACTUAL RESULTS* from using this software in a day-trading scenario..... I would appreciate it if you could verify that you are not affiliated with Wisetrade (the company) or Dynetek (the company marketing it I guess?) in any way, though I'm not sure how that would happen....
