Looking for a charting software

Hi I hope your trading is going well!!!

I’m currently looking for a charting software. I currently use Freestockcharts (I trade US stocks and ETF´s) and I think that they are very good since you can set the charts however you like, with the indicators (you can modify time frames) you like and the colors etc that you prefer. You can also have different charts with different indicators and time frames and is free which is very good.

I use bar chart with High, Low, Close and some indicators.

The problem that I have with freestockcharts is that you have to do all the screening yourself and you do not have any alerts and I do not have the time to be in front of the computer every second waiting for a signal.

I use a momentum screening using different time frames for Relative Strength and the typical fundamental screen of P/E and things like that, nothing complicated or anything like that and I do not mind delayed data.

I know that for the screening and for the technical alert I will have to do some programming and I do not have a clue on how to programmed but if is simple I’m willing to learn and give it a try.

Basically I’m looking for a charting software that is as cheap as possible, easy to programmed that can do a screening of basic technical analysis and basic fundamental and that I can set my alerts based on the indicators to trade stocks and ETF´s.

Please help

Hi Fran8

Not sure if it will do absolutely everything you want but give proreatime.com a look, starts off as free with EOD data and various packages for RT.

Goog luck

Cheers
