Default Good charting package ( Tradestion8.5, Amibroker, metastock etc )


I am currently in USA using Tradestation 8.5 day trading e-mini Russell / S& P futures. I am planning to visit India for 2 yrs ( family reasons ) and would also like to day trade indian nifty futures / or single stock futures during day time in india and continue trading US market during evening/night time from india.

I have programming skills and frequently write code to backtest my signals. My mom has trade tiger ( share khan ) but I am looking for something more professional charting e.g. cannot open 2 chart windows simultaneously, need to view multiple time charts , need historical intraday charts etc..

1) Can tradestation 8.5 be used to chart indian market data ( how do I connect india market data to tradestation ?
I have tradestation2000i too , can you tell me intraday data provider for it.
2) or for indian market should I buy Amibroker Ultimate Pack Pro for $409 ? or just Professional Edition $ 279 be ok.
3) what is the monthly cost to feed real time data to amibroker ?
4) I am confused as to which charting tool to use, cost + features both are important.
Thanks,

You can open upto 8 charting windows by pressing ctrl key on.

Though historical intraday charts may not be available but charts of last
few years is available ,which is more than sufficient.

Thanks I was able to open multiple windows on trade tiger ( share khan )

How do I get pointer tracking to global?
e.g. I put my mouse ( cursor/arrow ) on one candle in one window how do i see same time candle in other open charts. This way its easy to see 2 or more charts behaviour candle by candle.

Thanks,

Thanks,

u should subscribe to datafeed. eSignal is the best option if tick data is required. Then using Owndata u can get RT data into TS.

otherwis eSignal + Amibroker is good. Or metastock + Quotecenter
