Alternative to stockcharts.com for UK market

[gododdin]

Hi there - I've signed up with stockcharts.com for their basic paid service and it's really good for preparing portfolio lists and running scans on US shares etc. But as a newbie I've been recommended to trade UK shares which apparently tend to be less volatile than US stocks (especially just now!). Unfortunately stockcharts doesn't cover the UK market so I can't use it.

I've tried bigcharts.com but it just doesn't seem to cut it in terms of functionality and usefulness. Can anyone recommend something similar to stockcharts for UK? I don't mind paying as long as it's not too expensive.

Thanks

I used Sharescope Gold in the past; you can do you own data mining on all UK stocks. You can download a demo from Ionic's website.

Hi Shadowninja - thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I'm running a Mac so Sharescope Gold won't work (unless I upgrade to an Intel Mac and load Windows on it, but then I might as well buy a PC with Windows, and I swore I'd never go there again!)

Oh. Can't you run some sort of emulator?

 

[gododdin]

Yes, that's what I mean - in order to do that I'd need to upgrade my current machine to an Intel Mac, and I'm not ready for that yet. I could then use Bootcamp to run a dual boot system. I was hoping you could advise of a web based service like stockcharts but one which covers the UK too.

You could try this...

ProRealTime.com

How do you search through stocks for particular events eg crossovers with ProRealTime? (Didn't think it was possible.)

What about ADVFN?
