Stocks charting software

Hey guys,

I didnt know where best to post this but...

I really want to try out the technical analysis I've learned while dealing with forex on the stock market. I would, for example, find strongly trending stocks and buy on pullbacks according to PA.

However, the problem is that I've been using websites like google and yahoo finance for charting and they are way too clumsy to use.

Does anyone know any websites or charting software (paid or free) that would basically let me chark stocks in a Metatrader fashion?

I hear that Tradestation is an option - could someone confirm this please? Tradestation is also a bit pricey, so a cheaper or free alternative would be great.

Thanks a lot.

Lamdun, I like Telecharts as a good after market charting tool. I did not like the platinum service with live data feed. If you like looking at sector action I think TC is good. Cost about 300.oo per year.

I also liked stockcharts but switch to TC

Amibroker works pretty good with IB feed and I think the software is pretty solid. I use this for live feed

Telechart has a good forum to help you with scan coding and so I think this is your best value.. Tech support stays in the forum so you get your questions asked pretty quick.
