Kevin, Which areas of software are you looking at? Do you want ideas on database tools, financial packages, web app's, systems management, control systems, etc. Mat.

Try an excel based software for trading commoditiesand shares and make it possible to download buying prices and selling prices and to show profit / loss at the same time after the trader inputs the buying price and how many shares etc. Example, the trader enters the name of the share / commodity in row 1. The amount of shares / commodities bought in column 1. The purchase price in column 2. The selling price in column 3. The profit / loss in cloumn 5. Allow a gap for ease of viewing. Make this automatic with info downloadable and you could have a high price product.

Mat We actually cover all of the mentioned. We are just looking for what people want. Is there software which doesn't meed their needs or doesn't exist. Thanks for your reply! Kevin

To Kevin Ashby, The functionality described is already easily done if you have a say a Bloomberg price feed. You can add fairly simple formulae to a spreadsheet to pick up the prices as they change. I would imagine that most other data providers would have a simliar interface for Excel. I know Tiblink do and I can't see Reuters not having it. On the other hand we have build custom portfolio management systems for financial comanies before including Fund Managers. So if you would like to talk to us about this subject then please call.
