ShareScope is a portfolio management, charting and data analysis software package developed by Ionic Information. March 2015 saw the launch of SharePad, a web-based suite of private investor tools.

Contents

SharePad is available in two versions - SharePad (15-minute delayed prices for UK & US markets) and SharePad Pro: live prices for UK & US markets with live LSE Level 2).

ShareScope is available in three versions: ShareScope Gold (end-of-day for UK & US) ShareScope Plus (15-minute delayed data for UK & US) and ShareScope Pro (live UK & US with live LSE Level 2).

SharePad is a web-based tool and can be used on tablets, Macs or Windows PC. ShareScope is Windows PC-only.

    Add-ons

  • Alpesh Patel Special Edition is an add-on to all versions, which includes Alpesh's own stock-screening filters, chart set-ups, stock commentary and a monthly newsletter delivered via ShareScope.
  • Level 2 data from the London Stock Exchange is also available as an add-on for ShareScope Gold and ShareScope Plus. It is included free in ShareScope Pro and SharePad Pro.

    • ShareScope's scripting language: ShareScript

    In addition to the add-ons detailed above ShareScope customers can also make use of ShareScript, a scripting language based on JavaScript, that forms part of the functionality of ShareScope Plus and ShareScope Pro.

    ShareScript is a new addition to the program and is constantly being developed. However, companies are starting to provide add-on indicators that can be used in conjunction with ShareScript. These add-ons are currently written in ShareScript with extensions written in any language and compiled to a DLL.

    Users can also share ShareScripts via an online library and ask for help from each other and ShareScope Support staff on ShareScope's dedicated forums.
