Re: What charting service to professional traders use?
"What charting service to professional traders use?"
The most popular are Signal nd Qcharts though now both are owned by Esignal. TC2000 also very high on professional list.
There are a lot of side packages like Metastock and really a bundle of specialty ones but the two above are really popular. I prefer Qchars program over Esignal.
I have used stockcharts for 5 years to share charts and also to keep a list of the Dow sector charts and steel and gold etc all in their own folders for quick checking in the tiny chart review. They to me are the best for sharing in chat rooms though tons of other will also work in a pinch.
But I agree that they really screwed up today by not having a back up
