Well this could be a question for the software thread, but since my original question about market indicators was posted here, I figured you guys would also be more than willing to help guide a newbie on the software used. For indicators on an intraday realtime basis for the futures, tick, trin, vix, vxn, prem, trinq, tickq.... what software is commonly used? Are the main two realtick and qcharts?
What you're calling "indicators" are just ticker symbols that can be seen using most any datafeed (actual symbol format may vary, but you can view them pretty much on any datafeed) - nothing special in the "software" to view them (they're not like technical studies which can vary from program to program).
When choosing a software platform, find one that can be programmed with new studies easily. Here is an example of three new studies posted this week for eSignal that can be downloaded and plugged in to run: http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&groupid=39 Chuck http://www.eSignalCentral.com
