Wow!

Not very often I feel the need to blab on about a product or service - and when I do, it's usually from a bad experience unfortunately.

This time it's different....

I downloaded this barchart trader free application. It gives delayed data for stocks, futures, options, and probably FX (havent looked for FX) which is ideal for me on a laptop if travelling on holiday or something to keep an eye on positions.

If you want realtime data you can subscribe, and I saw something about interfacing with some brokers for trading - I havent done this.

The package is neat, easy to use, fairly quick loading workspaces.

Charts are basic, but I dont use charts much so I dont care not being the biggest fan of magic lines, indicators, etc.

Theres also a news window. Windows are linkable through symbol which is neat.

It's free! I was sent a download link in an email a few weeks back. I imagine there is a link somewhere on Barchart.com - Commodity, stock and forex; quotes, charts & analysis

Take a look!
