Charting Packages- We recommend a number of charting packages, Those packages on offer vary considerably on the user friendly ratings and cost.
eSignal
This is one of the more professional charting packages available covering all the major exchanges. It is relatively user friendly although may take the novice trader a little longer to set up. We currently use this package and offer to help our day trading clients to set it up. We recommend that you use the older 10.6 version as the newer version is still under development. Our clients can get a significant saving on the monthly fee (30%). Contact us to get further details as to how you get the discount.
