low-cost charting software?

Can anyone recommend a good, low cost charting software. I'm a position trader looking for good historical charts with a large suite of technical indicators and the capability to display several indicator panes. Backtesting not necesary.

I've heard amibroker and Quotetracker are good - any comments?
 
Sierra Charts is a llittle powertool, inexpensive, uses mytrack data which is cheap. It has been years since I last used it but I was impressed. It has an Excel feature that you can program with any indicator and display it in a chart.

If you make 10 trades per month in a futures account with Tradestation their software is free and YM data is free as well. You have to tie up $5k in the account to do that but if you can make some bucks trading the YM it's all very good.

I suggest MyTrack for $5.00 per month ....hard to beat for research (delayed quotes of course, but who cares for research).

Where did you find this thing about TradeStation? I use TS and would like to hook up with SierraChart for free...
