About Progress Data Services



Progress Data Services - PDSNET was established in the early nineties and has become the largest local provider of end of day (EOD) stock market data for a number of local as well as imported technical analysis charting software programs.

We specialise in providing data of all equities quoted on the South African Stock Market, Bonds, Futures, Unit Trusts, Currencies and Commodities as well as many of the major International Indices.

Since inception we have been the largest importer and reseller of MetaStock charting software and we have also become known as the main suppliers of databases in MetaStock format for use by clients who are using imported charting software requiring data in MetaStock format.

Our programmers are part of our management team and are dedicated to the ongoing development of ShareFriend Pro as well as our add-ons for Metastock. Having our own developers in-house, we are able to react to changing stock market conditions and respond to suggestions for new features received from clients.

ShareFriend Pro is without a doubt the most user friendly and easiest charting software available on the local stock market and for further details on this or the highly acclaimed internationally Metastock charting software, click on the relevent block to your left.

There are a number of locally developed technical analysis charting software programs available for the stock market ranging in prices anywhere from R4,950 right up to R16,000. You may well ask, why is it that we are able to offer a superior feature rich product like Sharefriend Pro a a price below R3,000.

The reasons are simple -

ShareFriend Pro is developed in-house by our own programmers.

ShareFriend Pro is sold DIRECT
