Where to Find Web Based Futures Charts?

[Dinerotrader 10]

Does anyone know of a way I can watch the futures charts at work on a website?

 

I am unable to watch futures at work because I can't download software on my work computer and the data feed would certainly annoy the IT people's concern over bandwidth usage.

 

I use freestockcharts.com for stocks and it would seem like you could find something similar for futures but maybe not. My searches haven't turned up much up to now so maybe there is a larger issue at work which keeps such a valuable service from being offered.

One example:

 

Quote.com U.S. Markets - Futures Quotes and Charts - Chart for ES U9

 

 

Another one (german):

You might also use (best quality of charts in my view):

 

Prophet.Net | Analyze | Prophet JavaCharts®

 

chart the index that is associated with the future (like $INDU for YM) and consider the offset between index and future value that is relatively stable over one day (if you do not need exact values).

Some brokers have web based trading platform, which can go through corporate firewalls.

 

This two came to my mind:

 

1. InteractiveBrokers

2. ThinkorSwim

There are some nice Silverlight applications coming on line. Stocks are well covered but futures not so well. Wordens freestockcharts is pretty funky. Interesting times ahead.

We haven't introduced Futures coverage yet but if you are looking for 100% free stock charts, stock alerts, portfolio manager and stock screener try out Zignals - Stock Alerts and market alerts, stock charts and investment strategy for size (Silverlight too)

Futures exchanges usually charge data fees, these are not passed on by most brokers but if you just want real time futures data Barchart Real-Time Data Services is one option but it is not free.

Well, finviz got futures. Pretty useful. Several time frames and the weekly charts go back quite a way. Impressive for free. How long until all the futures data becomes free like stocks?
