Where can I get affordable real-time stock charts?

Question:

I am an active student trader and I need a real-time stock chart I can use (I currently use scottrade as my broker and they do offer real-time charts along with their elite program which I do not qualify for because of my small account value).

I looked at the Prophet website, but they charge $499.50/year for their real-time charts which includes all the technical analysis feature. And their charts are interactive.

However it is to damm EXPENSIVE for my taste. Is there any real-time charts that I can use for an affordable price? It must offer technical analysis features and live quotes.

Thanks!!

Answer:
Many brokerages like optionsxpress.com offer real time charting for you.

Barron's has a great article on brokerages that they publish each year. (Latest one was in March 6, 2006). Kiplinger does one too.

Here’s the link to the Barron’s article.

Here’s the link to the Kiplinger’s July 2006 article which isn’t bad either.

I use prophet.net for some of my stuff. I love having the watchlists, and the market matrix, etc. TOS has some great real time charting as well.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Hope that helps!
