TC2000 Review [125 Data Points] From A PRO Analyst

Award-Winning Telechart TC2000 Won Our 2019 Stock Market Software Review. But Why Is It Best for U.S. Investors & Loved By Liberated Stock Trader?

Recommended for Investors in the U.S.A. & Canadian Markets Who Need Powerful Fundamental Screening, Excellent Technical Analysis & Trading From Charts.

TC2000 Review – By Worden Brothers Inc. Review Winner

Telechart has long been one of my favorite tools, I have been a Platinum service subscriber for over 18 years and find the latest release v18.x to be another great step forward.  Endlessly customizable and scalable, the platform offers everything an investor in stocks, exchange-traded funds and options would need.

TC2000 was a winner in our Best Stock Market Analysis Software Review, beating 25 other competitors.

Pricing and Software – 10/10

TC2000 is competitive on pricing with all premium stock market analysis software vendors, in fact, it is a leader in pricing, with only TradingView offering a similar price point. TC2000 has been voted as best software for 25 years straight by the readers of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities Magazine.

TC2000 Silver Service Features

Price – $9.99/month.

• All levels of service enable you to use the TC2000 Brokerage, which enables live from the chart trading and competitive commissions beating out TD Ameritrade and Merrill.
• 100,000 stocks options and exchange-traded fund data – included
• Real-time streaming data is available with an additional charge per exchange connection.  This is the same for all software providers.
• 8 great layouts ready for use including my favorite Sector Drilldown, which I discuss later in the review.
• Unlimited watchlists, with 80 pre-built layouts
• Personal Notes to keep track of your actions
• Unbelievable Application Configurability – probably the best in the industry, enabling you to build intricate workflows, tabs and pop out windows
• Mobile access to your charts, watchlists, and settings.

TC2000 Gold Service Features (Recommended)

Price $29.99/month

The reason I recommend the Gold Service is because of the following killer features:

• EasyScan is enabled – this allows you to unleash the powerful fundamental scanning, you can scan on EPS, PE Ratio, Earnings Growth, Sales and many more.  It is the best fundamental and technical scanning in the industry at this price point.
• Unlocks Technical & Fundamental Scanning Combinations – for example, if you want to combine the stock price crossing the 20-day moving average plus a volume surge with growth in the earnings per share for the last quarter.  This is only possible with TC2000
• EasyScan results are displayed extremely quickly – this can save a lot of time
• 100 Alerts are enabled – TC2000 has an excellent alerts system which is extremely flexible allowing you to alert on any indicator, price or trendline. Alert can be routed through to your email, SMS or as on-screen popups.
• Charting of Fundamentals from MorningStar – this is great because it enables you to plot, for example, earnings per share (EPS) onto the chart.  This enables you to see visually if a company has earnings acceleration over time.

Platinum Service

Price $89.99/month

• The Platinum service is triple the price of the Gold service, but if the following features are as important to you as they are for me, then it may be worth the investment:
• The EasyScan dashboard is now real-time – you can feel all your scans and criteria in watchlists pulsing with activity as they constantly refresh
• Real-time scan results – you can even setup reports that summarize the results of your scans to enabled simpler tracking of thousands of data-points

Worden Brothers continue their winning ways, with very competitive pricing starting at only $9.99 per month for the Silver package.  I would recommend the Gold service to start with as you get a more powerful alerts engine and unlock the huge power of the technical & fundamental scanning and filtering that TC2000 is famous for.

TC2000 is aimed squarely at those trading stocks, ETF’s, mutual funds and stock options, specifically on the U.S.A and Canadian Markets.

Liberated Stock Trader has partnered with Worden Brothers the creators of TC2000 for over 9 years, I am their biggest fan.  I even based my PRO training course around TC2000.  However, this is a factual review, there are many other software vendors that may meet your needs.  But if you decide TC2000 is the right software for you will get a $25 discount from TC2000 plus $129 in free gifts and discounts from Liberated Stock Trader.  Simply use this button to get started.

TC2000 Trading Platform

As I have been using the software since 1999 I can say the software is first class and reliable.

TC2000 for Windows

Developed with Microsoft’s Dot.net framework TC2000 runs natively on the PC.  It is fast, responsive and simple to use.  The resolution of the software enables very intricate design details that other development platforms cannot match. Very quick to download and installation is a breeze.

TC2000 for Mac

Because TC2000 is developed on a Microsoft framework, you will need to install Parallels Desktop, a windows emulation software to be able to run TC2000.  The current license cost for Parallels is $79.99.

TC2000 for Mobile

Worden Brothers have apps on both the Apple store and the Google Play store, as you can imagine due to screen real-estate some of the functionality is trimmed.

TC2000 Support & Customer Service

Support is excellent both on the forums, via email or via the phone.  When you call you will get straight through and are able to speak with skilled personnel in the U.S.  I have never had an issue where it was not solved more or less immediately.

If you have not selected a Brokerage, you should look at TC2000 Brokerage as an option, they have competitive rates which also means you get full integration so you can trade stocks & options directly from your charts, a huge bonus.

If you trade U.S. Stocks, ETF’s or Mutual Funds, then this is a great solution.  Worden also provides regular live training seminars which are of a very high quality and also tour the U.S.A with free live training seminars for subscribers.

TC2000 Training & Education

The Worden Brothers in-house training team have hundreds of video webinars online available instantly.  But even better than that they seem to be on a more or less constant roadshow with live free seminars across the United States.  One of my students recently wrote to me telling me how great the training was and how much she learned.  If you are based in the U.S. or can travel, it is well worth attending one of the scheduled seminars.

Trade Management – 9/10

Worden recently released TC2000 Brokerage offering discount brokerage services at $4.95 per trade.  This new service means a tight integration between the charting software and the brokerage house.

Essentially it means the holy grail, trading directly from charts in a visual way.

Worden Brothers make a clean sweep 10/10 when it comes to trade management, with full Broker Integration (as long as you choose them as your broker).

Options Strategies

Use the Options Trading button at the top of the chart to open Options Strategy tickets directly on the chart. The menu divides strategies into bullish, bearish and volatility categories. Strategies include single-leg, multi-leg, and combinations of the underlying stock.

Multi-leg strategies then open as a single trading ticket on the chart.

TC2000 also offers a nice implementation of options trading and integration, you can scan and filter on a large number of options strategies and then execute and follow them directly from the charts.

Good profit & loss tracking and reporting round off the package to be a well-implemented solution.

Opening An Iron Condor Option Trade With TC2000

Industry Leading Live Trading

Taking a look at the image on the right you can see how well planned the order execution is from the chart.  You can open an order, but only execute it based on a condition.

The interesting thing here is that condition can be any technical or fundamental condition.  So you could theoretically, execute a trade is the EPS for the last quarter exceeds 35%.  Alternatively execute a trade is the real-time price breaks through the Ichimoku cloud on higher volume.

The possibilities are limitless and mind-boggling.

Fundamental Scanning and Screening – 10/10

Make no mistake about it, if you want fundamentals stock screeners in real-time layered with technical screens all integrated into live watch lists connected to your charts TC2000 is a power player.

I selected TC2000 as my tool of choice back in the year 1999 because it offered back then, simply the best implementation of fundamental scanning, filtering and sorting available on the market.  20 years later, they are still a leader in this section.

They offer a huge selection of fundamentals to choose from 192 to be exact, but even better than that, what makes it truly unique is the fact you can, with a few clicks, create your own indicators based on the fundamentals.

You can then overlay the indicators directly on the charts, which opens up a whole new world of technical and fundamental analysis.  10 out of 10 for TC2000 again.

One of My Favorite Scans & Fundamental Watchlist Setups.

TC2000 is perfect for scanning the entire market in a few seconds for the best fundamental setups of any company. In the Liberated Stock Trader PRO Training, I show how to find the best companies using TC2000.

The key fundamentals to find high growth companies are:

• Earnings as Percent of Sales 1-Year
• EPS Percent Change Latest Quarter
• EPS Percent Change Latest Year
• A Positive Operating Cash Flow
• Percent Change Revenue 1 Year
• Earnings Growth Rate 5 Years
• Trailing EPS
• Shares Outstanding

Plotting Fundamental Indicators As Stock Chart Indicators.

In the chart below I show you how it is possible to plot over 129 different fundamental variables from the balance sheet, income statement, and financial performance onto a chart.  According to the classic William O’Neil book “How To Make Money In Stocks” the C from the CANSLIM method is stands for current earnings.  This fundamental criterion and many others are easily plotted using TC2000.

News & Social – 7/10

While Telechart does not have a perceivable real-time news element included in any of the service tiers, it does have integrated links to external websites like Google Finance, CNN, Yahoo Finance, MSN Money, Marketwatch, and StockTwits.  The software will open a separate browser window and sync between TC2000 and the web browser.  This is, however, less than satisfactory.

For $8 per month extra, you can upgrade to the Live Briefs By MT Newswire Investor service – this is a solid news service if you do not need real-time news.  If you need real-time news you may want to pay for Live Briefs By MT newswire PRO which will cost a mighty $50 per month.

If real-time news is critical for you, you may want to look at Benzinga PRO or MetaStock with Xenith integration.

If you want social community and integrated news, you will need to roll back to TC2000 v12.5 and use Internet Explorer as your browser.  The social integration cannot be compared to TradingView which is a seamless implementation.

Technical Analysis – 9/10

TC2000 has an excellent array of technical indicators and drawing tools, all the big ones are there, from OBV, RSI and Bollinger Bands to Fibonacci Fans and Andrews Pitchfork.  With over 240 different indicators you will have plenty to play with.

Here is a setup I use to find divergences in stock price and volume supply and demand, it is very reliable because it uses a mix of price, volume and price/volume indicators.  I have also back-tested Ichimoku Cloud indicator accuracy and it is also quite reliable.

All of these indicators are available in TC2000.  The chart below shows you the implementation.

A Powerful Chart Setup With TC2000:

Top Chart Pane: Daily Price – GOOGL

• Parabolic Stop And Reverse (SAR) is a wonderful indicator to show the trend direction and pivot points
• Moving Averages 100, 50, 10 – the core of any analytics
• Ichimoku Cloud – an effective Japanese indicator

Lower Chart Panes Help Detect Price Momentum Divergence:

• Wilders Relative Strength Index (RSI)
• Chaikin Money Flow
• On Balance Volume

As you can see you have a huge amount of indicators and drawing tools to choose from in TC2000

As you can see on the chart window they have also introduced live alerts which you can configure to email or pop up if an indicator or trend line is breached.  Very useful indeed.

Stock Systems and Back Testing – 4/10

If you want to perform powerful backtesting or trading automation, then TC2000 is not for you.  You may be able to utilize the add-on product called StockFinder if you are a Platinum Member and you specifically call to ask for it.

However, StockFinder is no longer in active development, which is a shame because I think it is one of the very best in the market.

The Stock Market Crash Detector was build using StockFinder and here is an example of how powerful it is.

Ease Of Use – 20/20 – Full Marks

TC2000 is easy to use and yet very powerful.  The interface design strikes the right balance between looking great and being instantly useful.

A heavy focus on watchlist management, flagging stocks, making notes and powerful scanning make is easy to use and master.  Software setup is completed in a few minutes, but it also runs perfectly across devices.

Instant Usability.

If you want to run a very quick test to see how easy to use TC2000 is, try the following.

1. Download TC2000 for PC
2. Follow The Install Instructions
3. Open TC2000
4. Click File
5. Click Open Layout
6. Click Sector By Year

In 5 Clicks you have this wonderful industry sector drill down.

In the above chart I have drilled down into the Technology Sector, and instantly we see the industry indexes, Semi-Conductor, Gaming, Solar etc.  What is really nice is we see to the right the relative performance for the sector versus the S&P-500.

Instantly you can see which sectors are outperforming the market… in 5 clicks

Full marks for TC2000.
