Charting/data

  1. Hi guys,

    I'm a farmer in Australia with an equities/options trading background.....I am planning to expand my trading to include futures and futures options, but want to steer clear of the volatile index futures for the time being while I learn, and stick to the other area I know - commodities, namely cattle and wheat to begin with.

    We don't have liquid commodities contracts over hear so I need to trade to US commodities. Can anyone recommend a charting/analysis/data package for this purpose?

    Thanks
    J

    Welcome, and smart move, sticking to what you know. I know a couple of traders that are happy with prophetX, it might suit your needs:

    If you don't mind me asking, where in australia are your farm located and how was this years harvest for you? Been getting some mixed signals about that australian harvest lately.
