you must have went to the wrong site. metatrader (www.metaquotes.net) is free. this is what i currently use (i currently only trade forex but plan to move on to futures as well) the problem is that the only people that use metatrader are horrible retail forex brokers. so what i do is...

actually i said in my post that QT was not that good. i actually do know about the method of using a seperate chart and a trader. its what i currently do. i dont think QT is that great. i have not tried those expensive charting programs out there so but i assume they are better than QT...

actually when i see your name by the post i pretty much ignore it forcing me to go back i see that you said it's abandoned. great, you said it was abandoned before i did, however i dont know what difference that makes. you can still download and try the application. it still works. i have...

have any of you tried ibcharts.com it is the best one out there. to me it is better than QT or Sierra or Amibroker If it only had a scripting language it would be set. however, it seems like the guy has abandoned the project and is not developing anything new for it. try to...

i forgot to ask, i am speaking about CME futures data. ok i asked because i wanted to see what people would say. i get different answers from different people. one IB person said 30 days, another said one year.

if i use sierra chart or quotetracker, how much intraday data can i look at? for example, lets say i want to pull up a 288 minute chart, how far can the chart go back? one day? one month? thanks

i dont care if its the same app or a different app, as long as i dont need to pay a few hundred extra a month for it

quote tracker is better than IB's charts, but overall its still not that great. just look at ibcharts.com or metaquotes.net or tradestation being a software engineer, i know it is relatively easy.

well lets think... if you need third party charting tools, that means you are probably paying for them. depending on your charting needs, this can range from 50 to a couple hundred a month. ib does not need to move mountains to get better charts--its really not that difficult to produce...

how about configurable time periods and configurable start times for daily charts--this is useful for 24 hour products how about more historical data? if interactive brokers only had better charts, i dont think anyone would ever use any other broker. one question though: could...

Im looking, preferably for a futures broker with all of these qualities, but most likely none will have all. So if you would be so kind as to direct me to a broker that you know with at least one of these qualities that would be great. I could then see which one I could live without...

Im looking, preferably for a futures broker with all of these qualities, but most likely none will have all. So if you could direct me to a broker that you know with at least one of these qualities, maybe i could learn to do without. 1. Free data feed for CME futures (provide length...
