Hi ,
I'm new to this forum so please excuse my comments if this topics has already been discussed on this forum.
I understand that many people here have been talking about using software like AmiBroker, FCharts, etc. A few have complained about not being able to import BSE data to a this utilities. A few use utilities which in turn fetch the data from yahoo(specially for BSE)
I personally havent used any of this software(did give it a try once .. but could not handle all the tweaking...cant do much hard work ... ha ha). For sometime now i have been using the web based charting facility from BSE and Sify. Both are free.
I would not personally recommend anybody to use such utilities which import the data from Yahoo finance. I have found that the data is not acurate many a times, historic data is not available sometimes and i could not find data for many a companies.
Considering that you will be investing/trading your hard earned money based on your analysis of the data, the data better be most accurate.
Other option, and which should be worth its money, is to use commercial tool's like the one available with PowerBull, IL&FS or say ShareKhan. I will skip my advice on this tools as i havent used this tool, but a call to this services will surely get you a hand-on demo of the tools. You can decide after getting a feel of the respective tool.
I wanted to horn my skills before investing in this commercial utilities so had to skip them.
I instead use online web based charting tools. BSE and NSE both have charting facility and the data is pretty much accurate. Others like sify.com/finance and hdfcsec.com(similar to myiris.com) also offer online charting facility.
One of the member of this forum also posted his link which looked nice (To be honest Havent used it ..just tested it for 3-4 charts)

Just some of my thoughts.
