I need a basic software package to get started on.

For the moment, I just need to do simple technical analysis - moving averages and the like - while I learn.

Can anyone recommend a good, low-cost, easy-to-learn package?
 
Meta Trader 4 !! Its Free You Can Download At Lots Of Places Around The Internet
 
Metatrader 4 is on a 90 day trial, relatively cheap to fund account. I was going to suggest a spreadbetting account but you are in States so its a nono
 
ProRealTime is free for EOD.

The charting package automatically draws in horizontal and diagonal lines unless you tell it not to!

This is a useful learning resource for identifying S/R, trends, channels and certain chart patterns eg triangles, wedges etc.
 
Depends on what you are trading. Amibroker offers some excellent software for a very reasonable price. If you're placing enough trades, TradeStation's platform isn't bad either.
