I just switched to Qcharts from MyTrack. I liked MyTrack but was persuaded to go with Qcharts for the ability to view a virtually unlimited number of stocks in quote windows and for the linked charts and T&S windows. MyTrack limits you to 100 stocks viewed 20/page, and each page sorts individually. You also have to call up intraday and historical charts separately. In Qcharts you can create as many quote sheet windows as you want, and each can hold many stocks...my largest contains about 260 stocks. I also keep at least 2 charts "live", i.e. a short intraday chart and a daily chart, and sometimes I add a third intermediate term chart, and when you click on a symbol in a quote sheet each chart window immediately changes to that symbol....the same applies to T&S windows. You can also create as many charts as you want in Qcharts whereas Mytrack limits you to 4 intraday and 4 historical; maybe more than that is too much but at least the capability is there if you've got enough screen space or a good memory(g). Qcharts also gives you T&S without having to pay for the LII charge. In MyTrack you only get dynamic T&S if you subscribe to LII, which is typical. MyTrack was, in a sense, more user friendly because you didn't have to worry as much about arranging layouts, which you couldn't save anyway, but Qcharts is considerably more flexible and once you do get screen layouts created that you like you can save these, as many different layouts as you like too. Qcharts hotlists are more varied than MyTrack's, and also updated automatically, whereas you have to update them manually in Mytrack. Qchart's symbol sorting is only dynamic as well, whereas Mytrack gives you snap sorting, i.e. it sorts only once when you hit the sort button. MyTrack is actually a very good program, somewhat cheaper, and their online tech support is topnotch, but Qcharts offers more. Hope this helps.
