best technical broker platform

#1
which broker platform has best technical charting tools.
my going through all the post i am guessing its power bulls.
how many technical indicators does it have.
just want to confirm with someone who used it before.

Any serious technical analysis requires a seperate software and a data feed.

I have Power india bulls , the charting tool displays only same day intraday chart , and that is good for nothing as candles are not clear and colour contrasts are horrible and you couldnot superimpose indicators as in softwares. They do provide lots of indicators ( allmost all that you would have heard of). For EOD charts you have to go to their website which is very annoying. Also there is no intraday data of previous days.

Thats why I had to get Amibroker and bought a data feed.
Market data provider was the cheapest I could find. It works fine.
I am new in trading and just started now , so opted for the market data provider after reviewing it here in the forums. You can try any other also.
(Check out the data feed section here on traderji and software section for software)

And be carefull if you want to open an account with Indiabulls.
They cheat a lot on brokerage if you are new. They gave me 10p intraday.
Make sure you bargain correctly and check your Electronic Contract Notes after trading a small amout on first day to make sure they gave the promised brokerage.

i did use activated version.
it stopped working while trying to get RT feed using amiqoute.
now i am using it with market data provider (yahoo feed) works fine.
its good for me in this days as i am just experimenting i may buy their feed later.
thanks for helping me.
one more question.
is yahoo feed delayed or is it not good enough that you (most of the traders) have to buy different feed.

Are you using yahoo feed through Market Data Provider or any other way?
Anyway Yahoo feed is good but I have red about some glitches and errors in their data on traderji or somewhere else. Moreover it might be delayed, there chart on website is.

Any way don't go for it , especially if you are putting real money on trading as there is not much price differnces b/w yahoo feed and MDP feed. The yahoo feed offered by Manshi RT or even MDP do cost around Rs.350 I suppose. MDP's own feed is Rs.600. So go for it.

MDP feed is RT , I tried mathcing it with quotes on PIB and found no difference in quotes. They were updating realtime and even candle form of current min changed with new data.

Any way , download MDP , and they will give you free 3 days worth or trial before asking for money. Download it , read the manuals , and set Amibroker to retrieve data from it, and take the trial , try matching the quotes with your online brokerage firms software and anything else that you may want to test.

One more thing , don't download tomorrow , do that on Monday so that you may try it for 3 working market days and not one day and 2 holidays.

Rs. 600 data feed is good enough to learn initially while trading one stock at a time.

One more thing I want to ask.
You have account with Indiabulls or any other firm.
And how much brokerage you are paying.

Those smartasses at indiabulls gave me 10p. Now I am working on getting it reduced.

Any info on current brokergae and any volume commitment would be very helpful.
