The best online charting and indicator site for stocks

[januson 10]

Hello..

 

I'm looking for the best online charting and indicator site?

 

At my pc at home home I've a couple of charting applications installed, but what if I for instance was at my folks place or maybe a friend and I suddenly wanted to watch a stockquote.

 

At the moment I use this one: http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/charts/charts.asp?symbol=CW.L

 

I like it because of the many indicators and possibilities, but unfortunately I can't build a watchlist etc.

 

What online sites do you use?

 

Kind regards

Janus

How's it going?

 

Just wanted to ask...are you looking for a free charting set up on the web...or something subscription based?

[brownsfan019 17]

We discussed some options here - http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f110/favorite-swing-trading-softwares-2616.html

 

Not all are web based though. I would say that prophet.net is a good option for paid web based services.

 

For just charts that are free, I like quote.com and stockcharts.com.

Hello Reaver

 

Well... Since I started earlier this year I've taken a drawdown of 90%:embarassed:, I'm still in good mood, but for some reason I thought it would be easier to learn to trade or atleast easier not to act as an idiot sometimes.

 

I don't give up, I'm in a nice learning process, but huhh... experience costs As long as I learn something every day I'm happy and my beliefs in the greater still drives me.

I don't mind if it's subscription based as long it's good, but free stuff is allways nice :haha:

 

Cheers - and thanks for asking.

Hang in there man. Many of the pros have also blown out at one time or another. Making mistakes is not the problem..it's not learning from those kistakes that make someone a loser.

 

You're good to go. Stick it out and don't give up on yourself.

 

http://www.stockcharts.com has good charts from what I hear...they have a free and subscription based service...

 

Try looking into Stock Fetcher as well..not very familiar with it, but TinGull may can help you with that as I believe that is what he using at this time.

 

Like I said, hang in there. PM or post any questions you have and someone here can help you.

quotetracker is a good charting tool, tons of good indicators. You have to subscribe to a feed or a brokerage that support QT, like MBtrading or IB. Feed is about 25$ but brokerage you can open an account and use the charts monthly fees. This is what I have as a backup when Tradestation goes down. The only downside of only having it without feed is there is no backfill (historical data missing) so have to keep it open/connected to get all the data to view all as far back as you want.

[januson 10]

Hi torero, thank you for your response.

But my question was primarily targeted for webbased charting like the previous mentioned StockFetcher or the one from investing.businessweek

I second the Prophet.net recommendation. I do end-of-day trades only and their free version is perfect. If you sign in it will remember your watchlists, setups, etc. Try their "Javacharts".

with hundred brains you will have hundred suggestions. All stock charts or indicator providers are there to stay long so they won't provide you the delayed charts and indicators as they won't like to drop a client. every business works for the betterment of customers as customers are the core base of ant\y business. so the bottom line which i would like to mention is charts and indicators are only tools which predicts the market movement but there is every possibility that they can move against the prediction so for that reason you must be too smart to handle such situation....

GFT have very good charting, also finspreads

[stockmarcus 10]

Im also interested in a site, but sort of a database of indicators specifically. I'm at the point to have a serious look though the indicators to see what works and where. If anyone knows a site that has a list of them including some background info would be great.

 

 

Re some previous posts,

 

Not sure about the incredible charts software, but the site also runs a free newsletter/mailinglist. Its surprisingly good for one of those "im doing it for you" sources, has good insights, and basic techincal analysis done for you every few days. My trading is very short term, it works well for me for long term analysis.

 

Also, gft's trading platform is excellent compared to other cfd providers, in aus at least. Just keep in mind their spreads are lower, but the price data is more volatile at the tick level to compensate (which is not necessarily a bad thing).

Sierra charts is great for the money

This is a good encyclopedia of basic indicators:

 

StockCharts.com - ChartSchool - Technical Indicators and Overlays

 

Certainly not exhaustive, but a good start.

I've been very impressed with FreeStockCharts.com - beautiful charts with many indicators to overlay. It is free and advertiser supported.
