Looking for the 'BEST' software for monitoring of Stock market, US market, or even world wide market, ability to do charting offline with downloads, tracking portfolio and triggering stock alert, real time market news, company news and etc.. anyone can recommend, pls. tks!

Welcome to the forum viperviper. I'm curious to see what people recommend. I'm looking for the same thing.

I'm not sure if these are the best, but I'm using Bloomberg and E*Trade Mobile Pro for iPad. I use these on my iPhone as well and the iPad versions take advantage of the bigger screen.

E*Trade has some nice features using the larger screen. Top has multiple little windows and bottom is about half the screen - you can swipe to flip through your stock list vs watch lists on the bottom. Selecting an individual stock/fund will update little screens on the top which give you the detailed quote and chart (1day, 5 day, 1 month, 3 month, etc.) The cool thing is that as you touch a stock on the bottom, the quote and charts update instantly, so its very quick to get the detailed quote and chart view with 1 finger press and you can switch very fast to get updates on all in your portfolio or watch list. No offline, no downloading. But you do have real time market news, alerts, and CNBC Video (if you are a pro subscriber). Trading, however, seems to be much better on the iPhone, especially when you are changing an existing order.

Bloomberg does quotes, charts, news without an account and was rewritten for iPad. It handles some International quotes, but I have not looked at foreign stocks very much.

Hope this helps a little. I'm sure others can share more about other apps. By-the-way, if the iPad app is not fully featured, you can still go back to the Web browser method and access like you were on a laptop.

I need iPad to display stock charts with technical analysis (SMA, MACD etc) from yahoo.com or google.com finance. I have an iPad 3G, jailbroke and Cydia installed. I also installed frash. But stock charts from google or yahoo finance pages don't show properly (stock curves don't show). Now it's worse than before. Before, yahoo or google will display stock curves, but not SMA or other technical analysis tools. Now it displays nothing. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue? The flash ads work, however.

Try CNBC.com. Works great on Safari and Atomic, SMA and MACD. Look up your SYM and click on "Advanced Charts."

Hi. I'm new to investing and I only have a few stocks. I'm looking for a simple app that uses the full screen of my ipad to show the total value of my investments in real time, the performance of each stock, and trends in the market overall, along with trends by sector (ie commodities)

what app is best for a beginner like me? too many features could overwhelm me.

I like the idea, however, of being able to get an alert or email triggered by prices falling or rising to a certian point.

I guess I could get e-trade... but do you need to use e-trade to buy? My husband works in finance and buys my stocks for me...

I'm still having some trouble with this piece of the puzzle, I may just download a few apps... And report back.

Any updates on a good app to review your portfolio, make purchases, and up to minute news?

I'm using bloomberg. I like it a lot. It was easy to set up, but I can tell there are lots of features there when I'm ready for them.

I like CNBC app with scrolling live data and premarket data.
