It doesnt have to me streaming real-time. I just want to b able to see a candlestick chart that updated every 5 or 15 minutes. I have found charts, but they dont update.This way I can just write my entry/exits on a piece of paper. I dont think any exist for free, wheres the cheapest place? Thanks.
 
i take it your paper trading so no need for expensive data feed, for a low cost one i can think of is to use Quotetracker ( http://www.quotetracker.com/ ) and use one of there supported data feed vendors, live streaming quote are about $20/mo +exchange fees (about $3-$5 more so about $25 total). they have one that's real time snap shot for $10/mo + exchange fees that might be the one your looking for if you just want quotes every 5min or so.
 
I checked those out, one you have to have windows and one just doesnt work that well, but it IS free. Im resigned to having to pay for a service so now Im looking for the cheapest one. I dont need level 2, just streaming charts ( pref real time but it doesnt have to be). I found this from esignal but its $55 a month with exchange fees. Is there anywhere cheaper or should I just bite the bullet? Note Im just paper trading, but i want the data feed to be real and reliable.

I think prophet.net is the cheapest u will find. just get their basic or silver service...where did u find esignal for $55?
 
Thanks for the suggestions. The esignal system i was looking at is called "livecharts", its $50 with exchange fees, but i suppose its worth it.

I dont use windows unless i have to, i stick to leopard :)

What you trade?
Indices? Individual stocks?
Commodity futures?

For indices, Yahoo finance has free charts delayed 5 minutes or less, I think.
