Is it worth the upgrade, how does it compare to stockcharts.com

Thanks for any input

I have a couple of quote feeds, but sort of like the set up they have for some side stuff...

I used it for a bit and found it quite good.

I went back to regular simply because I am not trading equities as much as I would like to be.

One problem I had with it was I couldn't overlay a sector against a stock, or an index against a sector. But when I quit Elite I put that in the comment box, and they told me how to do it (which I forget now!).

Thanks, they should have a trial version, If they do i don't see it....

Mike, You can overlay mutliple symbols on a single chart like this Chart: Advanced > settings > Price performance % (symbols) https://elite.finviz.com/chart.ashx?t=AAPL&ty=c&ta=st_c,sch_200p,sma_50,sma_200,sma_20,perf_a_SPY_QQQ_MSFT&p=d&s=l Best Regards, Alex Patek Customer Support FINVIZ.com

Is it possible to chart stocks during after hours with finviz? I sometimes prefer the quick interface of finviz over my full charting platform for a quick chart, but can't seem to find out how to chart after hours.

Is there a way to scan for stocks that are outperforming or underperforming their index from the 'scanner', and select a criteria like by xx percentage over xx days?

I would like to do this but haven't found an easy way to categorize by this metric.

Sorry to revive this old thread, but can anyone who has used finviz tell if they provide real time charting for future(ES,CL). Also, how good is their feed?
Thanks in advance.

@kashmiami,

I wondered that too -- and worth clarifying because FinViz markets itself well but the futures coverage has real limitations.

The short answer: FinViz Elite's real-time data only applies to US equities. For futures like ES and CL, the data is delayed -- typically around 20 minutes. This holds true even with the paid Elite subscription.

What you get for futures:

• Basic charting on continuous/front-month contracts
• No ability to select specific contract months (like ESH25)
• No volume profile, DOM, or footprint charts
• Delayed quotes -- not suitable for active trading

FinViz is genuinely excellent for equity screening and scanning. But for futures, it's really only useful for higher timeframe context -- daily or weekly charts where 20-minute delays don't matter much.

Better options for real-time ES/CL:

Since you're on NinjaTrader and TradeStation, you already have access to platforms that can handle real-time futures properly. For dedicated futures charting with the tools you mentioned (VWAP, Market Profile), TradingView with CME/NYMEX exchange add-ons works well for discretionary intraday work. Sierra Chart with Rithmic or CQG feeds is another solid choice if you want more granular order-flow data.

Bottom line: Use FinViz for what it does best -- equity screening. For your ES and NQ trading, stick with your existing platforms or add TradingView if you want better web-based charting.

TGIF! Have a good weekend!
