Would you pay $27,000 for software?

Quote from Batman28:

there is a software I've just found.. and it does exactly what I had in mind.. it's for trading of course.. but guess what, the price is $27k. can you believe this! is this the most expensive software in the world?

is it worth it, if it does exactly what you need it to do.. the other option is to basically programm and build it yourself from scratch..

For 27K it would have to tell me exactly when to enter/exit a trade and be right all the time. Try trade navigator from Genesis. It'll do everything you need. There are many others and all cost considerbly less, like 95% less.

ok i guess that's a no from everyone..

Professionals routinely pay more than this plus monthly costs in excess of 1k for a complete solution (true portfolio testing & same logic forward trading). 27k is half what you'd pay an administrative assistant. Which is more critical to future health of the firm?

Priorities...get 'em straight.

i understand.. that software isn't actually aimed at individuals.. but i really like what it does..
 
Batman - If you couldn't trade before, then this won't do much good. A great software package isn't the answer.

Yes, I use trade navigator. Just got it a couple weeks ago so I'm still in the learning phase. I really, really, like the play back feature. The back testing is nice but doesn't tell you if you actually would have made the trade. The paly back allows me to set my indicators and see if my eye would have picked up the actual trade. This tool alone is worth the money to me. Their tech support has been very helpful and readily answered the dumbest of my questions without hassle. I'm certainly no expert on trading software and there may be others that are better, or less expensive, but so far I'm happy with trade navigator.
 
CaptainObvious if you're interested, there is a great software out there that lets you play-back the market and trade, with real past tick data.. on various instruments.. has all the indicators you need. i've downlowded the demo and find it very very interesting.
 
The only software I know of that costs that much is Mechanica.

If that's the software you are talking about, I've been told by former Mechanica users that both TradersStudio and Trading Blox work as well or better if you don't need to deal with multiple managed accounts. That's the primary institutional feature of mechanica.
