HEllo,
I am using FCharts for last 4 months. This is an excellant software (much better than Wall Street Analyzer). However, the free version lack some good features of upgrades version i.e. PRO. The cost is very less and I am sure it is affordable.
About data,
There is a yahoo group (I am a member of this group) which puts EOD data fro BSE and NSE equities and futures and options on daily basis. You can download this EOD data (this is csv file format) and change the first line <date> to <DTMM/DD/YYYY> and load data using Import/import file option. This works well for me.
I have eod data for NSE and BSE for 2001 onwards loaded into FCharts. Also, a full list of symbols for BSE and NSE. (some latest entrants name need to be added, though symbol is there).
IF anyone need data from 1/1/2001 till June 2005 (Only equity data, NO FUTURES or OPTIONS), let me know. The data is not adjusted for Bonus/Splits etc. There is a provision in FCharts to do this as well as changing of the Ticker.
Happy investing.
Regards,
Vijay Nair
