It was hard for me to think of any decision support systems that I utilized in my life because I was only thinking of decision support systems school related. But, then I thought of y investing apps I used to make trades on my virtual trading platform.
In my earlier blogs, I mentioned my career aspiration is to become a wall street trader. So in preparation for that, I currently trade stocks in order to gain experience but being a trader requires you watching the markets at all times and having access to software to make trades. You can loose or make a lot of money in a matter of seconds as stock prices are always changing. It is those small percentage changes in stock prices, traders look for so they can make trades to make money.
Being a full-time student, I obviously dont have the time to stay at a computer all throughout market hours (9:30 a.m- 4:00 p.m), so my two investing apps CNBC app and Scotttrade APP assists me with being able to make decisions about picking stocks.
CNBC app: this is to follow market news and keep track of prices of my stock's in my portfolio. The link below will show you detailed features of this app

Scotttrade app: this is the online stock broker I use to make my trades but just fake money for now.

I guess in your case, thank goodness for those two apps! Good luck in your hopes of becoming a trader, it looks like a very intense career.
