I have been with Market Analyst / Optuma from the very early days and have always found them to be a professional and willing to solve any issues that arise.

In now use Optuma since around four and a half years and am still astonished what great new things I can do with this fabulous software. I used in the last around 30 years about seven different analysis programs and non of them came close to Optuma regarding program features and functionality. What is for me especially important is the tremendous flexibility the program offers and the absolute great looking charts. With the script tool, an easy but notwithstanding powerful programming tool, one can create customized analyses of all kinds from technical analysis to even macroeconomic analyses to analyze the economic activities. Overall, I can say that the flexibility and the superb chart quality are the most outstanding features of Optuma. Last but not least, if you are interested in Gann analysis and astro finance signatures analysis, some call it Financial Astrology, you will not find any other financial analysis program that comes even close to Optuma. It makes really great fun to work with Optuma. With Optuma I have brought my analyses to a new high level not seen before.

Excellent charting software. Intuitive and pleasant to work with.
Support is excellent. I have had many queries over the years and could not fault the support service for this program.
I would recommend Optuma to any trader who uses charts.

I have used Optuma for a number of years and have found it to provide all of the tools that I require for trading. The software is stable and I have not seen a bug for two or three years. In the past, when I have noticed software glitches the service provided by Optuma has been very good. I have tried other tools but I find Optuma to be easy to learn and use and my preferred tool.

I was first exposed to technical and quantitative analysis in 2013 via a member of the CMT. I was told to go to the meeting in New York after the level one exam. I'm grateful to have met the Optuma team in NYC. Once I started to understand topics that were in the CMT curriculum by experiencing the concepts via Optuma it created clarity I wouldn't have received any other way. Now, rate of return is better, client retention is better and my RIA has had a 50%+ increase in AUM because of the concepts I've learned from Optuma in each of the last 3 years. Thank you!

Optuma is a workflow management tool -- you decide what you want to see in your daily workflow and Optima crunches the data behind the scenes to provide the desired output. Programming is straightforward so investing in a few minutes of effort creates reports and templates that save hours every day. In short, you are going to need new ideas to stay competitive in the future. Optuma is the way to generate those ideas.

I have been using Optuma for over 15 years for my market research and trading analysis. I use the Gann Trader version. I am extremely happy with the tools and the support that is always prompt and professional. If you are looking for a reliable tool with an enormous variety of indicators and tools to analyze the markets you follow, I highly recommend you consider Optuma at the top of your list.

Optuma (previously Market Analyst) just keeps getting better and better as a tool for following and analysing financial market movements.

Regardless of whether your are a professional market analyst or an individual trader, Optuma provides you with the tools and indicators to analyse your favourite markets using the analysis techniques you like to use, my favourites being Gann and astrological. There are too many other methodologies to include a comprehensive list here. There are tools for most of them, and if you can't find just the tool you want, there is included an excellent Scripting Module, along with an add-in Pascal Programming Module, that enables users to develop and test their own methodologies, putting indicators and plots on charts or analysing them in the Signal Analyser.

Once you've established your favoured criteria, you can scan market groups (predefined or user defined) to find individual markets meeting your criteria.

As if all that is not enough, then the Client Support and Optuma Forums are the most helpful I've ever experienced, providing very prompt responses and clear advice.

Very powerful tool - I've only scratched the surface when it comes to all its capabilities. Support is excellent.

First had a good overview of Optuma at the 2016 IFTA Conference in Sydney. Bought it within a month, and no regrets.

I can thoroughly recommend Optuma.
I find that the breadth of indicators especially Gann/Astro is phenomenal. The weekly blogs are very helpful. The ability to put your workbooks on Dropbox so they can be shared between your different computers is very good. I would like to be able to find particular charts that are hidden within my multiple workbooks. Scripts are amazing but do take some time getting used to.

It’s very user friendly and can do any kinds of analysis I imagine

Software is good to use and user friendly. Staff are also very helpful.
The reason for only giving it 4 stars and not 5 is due to the price point and also that one has to purchase many additions to get full functionality of the software which makes it very expensive.
