I do agree that to compete in this market QCharts should be giving you after-hour T&S prints.

I had not expected the charts to melt down on me in the middle of a trade. Qcharts is just as unreliable during the day as it is after hours. Do you expect me to never trade?

I find QCharts *rarely* to "melt down" in the middle of a trade. I see a glitch like where it can stop displaying data perhaps once every couple weeks. Have you considered your Internet service? And as a well-thought out plan to trading entails, there needs to be a backup, including a disaster plan.

So what you are saying is that you used QCharts without proofing it for your uses? I used QCharts for a few months before relying on it for my trades. Not a good idea to tie your financial future to a product because Joe over here on a SI thread says its the "cats meow" for his needs. And what about your backup feed? The Internet and the service provided through the Internet can be prone to problems entirely separate of QCharts. Don't tell me you do not have one?

For myself, I am preparing to have a backup chart service provider that is not based on the Internet. Also I am still looking for an online brokerage that has good support from their trading desk, which is a non-Internet based backup for the handling of trades.

Just keep in minds all off this I see as being under my control, which I believe is also all under your own control for your situation. I use due prudence in planning and implementing my trading tools, the same careful consideration I use in my trades. Not because the tools themselves can cost me significant monies, for I use well-placed stops. But for the missed profits on significant trades that I can miss during the day since my livelihood depends on me generating income in this way. The Tharp book may be of interest to you.

Just some suggestions. Good trading to you! :-)
