Thanks so much for this useful link, but still not as good as the old futuresource. Also, I wonder if there's a way to change the bar color from green to black or dark blue.
If you're not happy with Futuresource, vote with your feet (and your pocketbook). Spend your money elsewhere.
It looks like I am not the only one complaining about FutureSource changes to their website. I used them for over a 10 years as they had great charts. Now they just have crap and I have switched to Barchart.com as a good alternative.
god damit! I used to be able to change the code on the website to create custom charts, and now, no more RIP future source.
Here is an intraday (15 minute bars) chart of the ICE energy futures contract "London Gas Oil". I got it for free (without logging in or giving my name / address) on barchart dot com . You may be able to get such charts and/or quotes from barchart.com too, just by trying..
Esignal?!! OMG. Esignal is a strong avoid. This company advertised QuoTrek as a real time device around 1995. I found that it wasn't real time by comparing to another data provider. I called Esignal about this and they said that it uses FCC definition of real time. That means that the data could be delayed by minutes. They got sued for this back in 1996. Maybe 1995. Don't remember exactly but got a letter from Esignal stating that they are being sued. Do you know how much they charged for this? It was like $150/month. I think there was an activation fee and a 1 year contract. The thing that I hated about this device was the antennae. It was like 5 feet long. Could sword fight with it. Too many red flags with this company. The sales rep was a student attending a state university in California. She kept harassing me to subscribe to it b/c I could pay for it with ONE TRADE. One trade?
You should not sword fight with thing unless you wear a mask/eye protection. The antennae is pointy. I would also don full protective suit like fencers. Wouldn't want to be poked/jabbed in the crotch.
Barchart seems to do pretty well for end of day spread quotes. (They don't show exchange-supported intraday quotes, though, only the synthetic equivalent.) You can customize the weightings as well.
