fellow traders with more experience i would like have some recommendation of charting software that does intraday and historcial data, i now use esignal but i find them very expensive, so if some is using anything else simlilar to esignal but cheap please let me know new person
The best free charting I have seen is Quotetracker. Just google or search ET, there are plenty of threads about them.
http://www.ensignsoftware.com/ One of the best, with an account of Interactive Brokers you'll have a killer combination. Also the customer support is very good. FT79
Newperson, You definately want to get Quotetracker since they have a free version as well as a paid version. And if you check out Ensign, you can compare it against esignal and if you decide to keep it you'll still have 2 charting program to mess with.
I started out with quotetracker, then Esignal. dumped Esignal (expensive and not advanced) when discovered the power of TS2000i. dumped TS2000i, moved recently to Tradestation 8.1. Starting Dec 1st with 10 roundturn it's free, if you don't use it, you are not compassionate with yourself
