Charting software

Market Wizard · Nov 15, 2008, 3:06am

I have some data in excel that i would like to view in a chart format . Does anybody know of any charting software that allows me to import data into it via excel and view this data as a candlestick/bar chart , complete with indicators etc. I also have the data for the indicators.

Excel itself is limited in that it does not allow to plot EMA or MACD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you know how to use macros then you can create a csv file from data in Excel and then open that file using Sierra Chart.

It doesn't even need macros.

Store in colums ... date .. time .. o .. h .. l .. c .. v .. oi (doesnt need time for daily or v or oi)
Order from old to new (down)
Save as CSV

Import with sierrachart.
