livecharts

In the dark, livecharts is still down.

My god man, it is 2007! This cannot be tolerated. Surely the brokerage you trade through equips you with real time stock and index quotes and charts? Who are you trading through that will not even give you that?

Yes, but they are my realtime charting. I can still watch on tv until they get back up again It is frustrating though.

I think that they shifted to a "new and improved" system. Try going to quote.com and clicking on live charts there. The old stuff doesn't work, I gather.

For what it's worth, IF your broker is Interactive Brokers (IB), you can use that data to feed various charting software packages.

For instance one that I took a look at recently is Ninja Trader charts. http://www.ninjatrad...ebnew/index.htm. These charts are free. They also operate via some other brokers data as well, so you might want to check it out. Real time, pretty good looking charts. You can combine this with their order entry software which they are known for. I think that will cost you about $50 per month. It's all on their site.

You can also use Ensign Software,,,,,$40 per month with Interactive Brokers data.

Then there's Sierra Charts. I think they might be around $25.

Alot of alternatives. Hard to see why you need quote.com. If your broker is IB, you could download the Ninja charting package right now (for free), and be in business inside 30 minutes. But again, they also work with other brokers. There's a list at their site.

Yes old stuff does not work which is the best, but neither does the new stuff still. I have been clearing cache and stuff, and still keep getting different error messages. Guess I just have to wait. I have already called them.
