Any idea how does this compare with FCharts ?

Thanks for the lead !!

hi rvgandhi,

sorry no idea. i never used FCharts.
Best regards,

Dear Members,
Just for the sake of FCharts's users i have just finished scrutinizing the features that are available in FCharts from its site. And my conclusion is that those are curently using Fcharts and those are hunting for a free TA S/W, just install Fibotrader and take deep drive into it. In FCharts when the trial period(7 days) is over, lot of features stops working.
But in Fibotrader there is NO SUCH RESTRICTION.

LONG LIVE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS.

best regards,
Soumya

hi soumya,

thanks for the info about fibotrader. it appears to be good and worth a try. i was looking out for a free FULL pledged TA software (as an alternative to FCharts, Live not essential) which will work on EOD data.

i have a query about fibotrader. can you please clarify, if necessary by referring to the user manual, as you might have already installed the fibotrader on your system.

what operating systems are supported by fibotrader? specifically, whether WIN 98Second edition is supported? what are the spped & RAM requirements?
i couldn't get this info from the web site.

thanks for your time.
