I've been hired by a company to trade on stock market for them, the company is not great, but the trading experience will actually show on my resume, so it's good for a career. The problem is that their charting software sucks big time. So my question is, do you guys know what a good charting software would be for stock market analysis, preferably not expensive, and live datafeed as well, what would you recommend? Thank you.

ps. and also they are using Price Level 2 a lot, and they say it's excellent, but they don' train you how to use it. Could anyone point me to some websites or readings where I could learn how to use it and what strategies it is applicable to. Thank you.

Not sure what you deem to be expensive, but the charting bunton uses are pretty neat.

At the risk of getting my wrist slapped for posting links, all I'm going to say is Google "TC2000 charting" :

I was looking into them a while ago, but never went for it, as well, I'm not that picky about stock charts anymore. It's all about the stocks value for me, as I don't daytrade 'em anymore. That's what I've got FX for .

Hope they can help ya out.

Thnx guys, TC2000 does look like a decent software. I'll research some more before making a decision. Any other comments/suggestions are welcome, especially on level 2 prices.

Is google finance still the most up to date free option?

Ive noticed you can't scroll back all the way through the stock's history anymore
The greatest force on earth is compound interest.

I agree with frankkn, how did you? That aside check out the thinkorswim.com - you can get a free paper trading account. I've been using TOS for my trades and it works very well and they're improving the software constantly.

Hi guys. Thanks for your replies. Since then I actually have worked at two corporate offices. First was SwiftTrade back in 2008. They do hire people with no experience and let them trade 100 shares at a time until you're consistent, then they give you lots of money and let you decide on the trade size. I have worked there for over half a year, then got hired by Infinium Capital, here in Toronto downtown, but it took them over 8 months to actually get me started. After working for a while there, I'm now back on my own again, due to family matters. So, I have tried the direct access platforms and I can tell you, not the think or swim, nor anything else comes close to the direct access platform. The one that I think of is Lightspeed, I believe it's available for retail traders.

ps. http://freestockcharts.com is a great place with live free charts from the BATS exchange, check it out.
