Why developing trading software?

Sometimes a question strucks my mind, and I don't really have the correct answer. The question is:

If the stock prediction software that is put for sale by an individual or a company is working why doesn't he keep it for himself and use it in his own trading only rather than give it others.
Surely, he will earn much more money by using it rather that developing it for others.

How can we answer such a question?

QuantShare as well as many other financial programs are tools that allow investor to analyze the markets and develop trading strategies (They are tools like 3D studio Max, Excel, Word...)

Regarding ready-to-use trading strategies, there are many reasons why an individual or company wants to sell white, grey or back box trading systems

- Some of them are looking for more investors to use the trading system so that trades becomes more profitable (more buying pressure - Often used Penny stocks based strategies)
- Some expect to earn more by selling the system that by trading it
- Some of them don't have enough money to invest in their trading system
- Some are risk averse and think that selling a trading system is a safer investment
