Linnsoft Investor Real Time
Its plain appearance can be misleading as it is a very sophisticated program which works across MS and Apple platforms and has the ability to accept a number of different datafeeds
Its not my first charting software having used Sharescope eod. Updata TA (Realtime) and (briefly) esignal rt and sierra. The support and service seems excellent and I have been getting replies to email queries wihin an hour or so.
There is extensive instructive material on the website and a helpful users group.
Linnsoft is a small concern and the personal touch is very evident and is a welcome change.
I have not as yet tried its backtesting facilities.
I would recommend it without hesitation but perhaps not as a first package.
There is a comprehensive review in TASC 2003 and available at

Permanent licences are no longer available and the software is licensed on various lease packages to include support and updates
quite amazing platform
Very good and easy to program
The range of functions is steadily growing, and it is exceptionally easy to either use existing indicators or write your own indicators, scans etc.. In fact flexilbilty is the major virtue - you can do almost anything with it ,or if you can't , request it and if there is enough support from others you will find it in a later release.
Support is first rate with an active yahoo group and a number of UK users. New releases come out evry 2-3 months with interim upgrades more frequently.
The range of data feeds is very wide with further additions planned.
The programming language RTL is equivalent to simple logic with >=< and or * / used so it's very easy to write a simple (or not so simple) scan ..It has very pwoerful scanning facilities in real time or EOD which can either find shares meeting various criteria or identify trends on the shares you are tracking in realtime (down to tick charts).
Best I have used (Ensign, Sierra, Updata, Esignal etc)
