I live in europe as well. I use Open E cry which offer free charting. Not the most advanced charting, but it certainly does the trick. Their "chart-trading" feature is VERY good though! If you feel you need more advanced charting after a while, you can subscribe to Sierra Charting and get free quote feed from Open E Cry. I have started doing this. Sierra Charting is very cheep, I pay 37 dollars a month with package 7 (8 is the best package), and their software is top noch IMO. Any day now it will allso be possible to trade of the "Sierra-chart" from your Open E Cry account. For emini futures I pay 5,4$ per round trip in commission. Not the cheapest but fair enough. I have allso heard people recommend Ninja Trader with MB or AMP as broker. Good luck. veggen
I'll also suggest taking a look at Open ECry as well. Good charting, free data - good combo IMO. http://www.openecry.com
