Imperial Whazoo, great posts and insight. I agree with your EVERYMAN perspective, as Spooz and Fractalz will ennhance the opportunity to make money successfully on stocks for all traders. Especially, being excel based...it's much more appealing to every trader, IMO. And progarmmers, too. :)
I teach my eleven year old son about trading everyday, so that he will have some depth of knowledge, for trading when he is older. He may or may not trade full time, but he will have a choice and the ability to make educated money in the market. I believe more people are seeing it that way...I've talked with many University students who make tuition by trading...lots of people may not make millions on the market, but they do get tuition paid and make additional money, outside of their regular day jobs.
Spooz's "robust" features and affordable costs will give more traders better choices and capabilities. allie
