Does anyone use Stockcharts.com as their primary charting software. I am considering to use it with IB in the future. Also, does Stockcharts.com offer live charting? Thanx, Dennis
Your answer is at Stockcharts.com's website: http://stockcharts.com/support/helpfaqpopup.html NihabaAshi
I use e-signal for real time charting, but have kept a subscription to stockcharts because it's cheap and I think the charts are better for longer term perspective, particualry if a large number of MAs and indicators are used. I dont think they have real time, but I havnt looked for about a month. I think its pretty hard to trade without real time, because I think you need it for entry and exit executions at the least.
Dennis, This applies to swing trading from the daily & weekly charts exclusively. Without that site, I'd be dead in the water. Subscribers are allowed to save ANNOTATED charts to a favorites list which saves me a ton of time personally. If I remember correctly, you can save 500 to a list. I'm not aware of another service that allows this at a comparable price. Unfortunately, they don't offer real time charting ability at the moment.
Thank you all,....I am studying up on swingtrading, with limited amount of capital, and alot of desire!
