We have been using Daily FX, Net Dania and Market Scope affiliated with FXCM. The results of these services have been very poor to say the least. FXCM offers Intellicharts which we are considering obtaining. Any suggestions regarding this or a more preferred charting service selection. I realize that E-Signal and TradeStation are for backtesting purposes and do not yet need this sophistication. In recent views expressed on this forum, FXSolutions appears to be the alternative to FXCM and am wondering whether they may have an alternative the the FXCM's Intellicharts. Many thanks for the input. Rich Gaulli

Oanad charting service is pretty good. You can even place box options directly on the charts

Oanda's charting is very limited. U cannot even save your view.
Every time you login you need to recreate your view.
Amount of indicators is also very limited.
No backtesting capability.

To save your current view - Pull down the Tools menu and select 'Save Current Layout"
I also use MT4 for Charts and Oanda for trading.

In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

I guess it depends on your preferance. I dont use many indicators only trendlines so im not really that impressed by chart pacakges that have masses of indicators. Oanda is nice and clean an simple, sure, it doesnt have many "advanced" features but unless you need them, then who cares? Keeping it simple is what my simple mind prefers!

The only problem with Oanda is, it could look like a nice uptrend on the daily chart with the zoom turned way low. Then go to a charting service that offers weekly and monthly charts and some of those uptrends that you see on the daily chart at Oanda is the retracement on a major down trend on a weekly chart. Oanda charts do not have enough information to use to trade. Although, if you are gonna be trading 5 and 15 minute charts, it wouldn't matter. Weekly charts and monthly charts are a must in my book because every Friday at the end of the trading week, I can look for those pinbars on a weekly chart. And the same goes for the last day of the month for the monthly charts.
