Professional grade Charting software - how to find good retail charting software

Quote from Gaddock:

When I was prop trading I used ESignal Pro for analytics and Goldman Sachs Redi for placing orders.

Yep, this is the prop trading "model". It insures you can never go automated with your trading. Order entry with one data stream and charts with a separate data stream/feed....not an ideal set-up IMHO.
I just interviewed with a Hold Bros satellite office....same thing. Graybox for order entry and ESignal for charting.
And Graybox has some real issues....like no warnings for stupid order qualifier mistakes. Like for instance, enter a stop order away from the market and if it's tagged as IOC, it will just silently cancel your order. Very primitive IMHO.

retail indictaors are S.HIT . seriously, start using time and sales,order flow and tick charts

Uh...what you meant was:
1) custom programmable indicators are the best way to go
2) tick charts are great because they reflect activity. (Note: Ticks correlate to time-and-sales, no need for both)
3) order flow can be very deceptive....be careful using it for more than a few milliseconds into a trade.
