Thanks to a tip from one of the members here I have recently
begun to use
www.freestockcharts.com. It is indeed free and better than
www.stockcharts.com unless you are a member there and paying the
monthly fee for that.You can save your settings here as well and
use the tab to see several charts at the same time.
Anyhow, trying out different STO levels on the daily charts, I
find that using STO(18) has been a nice mid-term indicator in the
past 6 months.
Very interesting discovery. Thanks for your post. Regarding
www.freestockcharts.com I had been using it for a couple
of months when I discovered that the realtime data is slow in
coming in or not accurate at all at times compared with my on-line
broker's data. The data can be 15 or 20 seconds slow in
arriving and sometimes just doesn't seem to come in for much longer
periods. I would be very cautious using this for realtime
trading.
I have switched to
www.advfn.com and find it
very accurate and much better. It costs $9.99/month for US markets
realtime streaming charts, and you can open as many charts as you
want in separate windows so you can view them at the same time. I
would recommend using Firefox as your browser for this, as it uses
much less in computer resources.
thanks for the info - I have been using freestockcharts.com and
have also noticed some big disparities in data between their feed
and my broker. Will check out advfn.com

Same graph but a bit larger and less clutter.
