Cheapest real-time charts?

"or just dont like Quotetracker" 
lol.
If the tradestation, sierrachart and esignal guys were as loud here as the quotetracker guy they'd probably get accused of something. Free advertising Baron??
QT is an ok package for some uses. There are quite a lot of users here. But it isn't the greatest thing out there in the opinion of lots of people (it is in the opinion of some others obviously).
Once again I'll say it for the original questioner: If you don't like quotetracker then try one of the others. There are lots of good packages out there and I think you'll prefer some of them to qt
Actually, IBs own charting, a program called IBCharts and the charting with order entry programs like NinjaTrader and ZeroLineTrader all have there place as well. Have fun checking them out.

I have used Esignal, Realtic, Qcharts and IB's data feed is equal to or better, imo. After four years I have not seen any serious lags that were IB's fault that I can recall. I use and love quotetracker but sierra and ensign offer a few more options for programmer types. Lots of inexpensive options. My overhead is almost nonexistent other than commissions. Its amazing. Not many businesses can say that.

My only problem with IB and QT is I like to trade stocks pre and post market...IB allows you to trade early but their data feed only goes from 9.30-4, so charts and time and sales window doesnt show trades pre and post market.....
Shorttrader88, IB data does have extended hours. You may be getting 9:30 to 4 because of your settings. Go to OPTIONS/Data Sources menu in QuoteTracker, click on QUOTES and check the box to use default active times.
If you still have a problem, email support@quotetracker.com and we can look at it further
just moved to IB because they let you trade early....but they told me this twice yesterday that charts and time and sales only shows during regular hours...so couldnt get any data from your site yesterday moring..
