Default Best Charting Software

Hi Forum users.
I am a trader who currently uses Sharescope for my Charting software. I am finding big gaps in it's use. Firstly it has no Dollar index futures, Secondly it has no ES mini (SnP) Futures and Thirdly it has no Copper futures.

I am after a charting package which offers all these for around 100 pounds. Also has anyone got any idea of a good European Futures to trade? The FTSE Futures stopping at 8am and only starting again at 9 makes it a bit useless in my opinion

No, FESX is the most liquid European futures contract, does about 1,000,000 a day.


Eurex - EURO STOXX 50® Index Futures

You could try the FDAX as well (Dax futures).
