low-cost charting software?

Sierra Chart with Interactive Brokers is also a common choice. Lots of low cost options depending on what you want ...

This may be too obvious but have you looked at Bigcharts or Stockcharts? The price is right.

 

Your platform doesn't come with descent charts?...

 

My s/w only creates ascent charts

 

Thanks for the feedback Osorico. Do you find opentick's data reliable and accurate??
Cheers
