Gee, where to begin. Having been a user of both, I would have to say it depends on what you are looking for. IQCharts is a great introduction to RT charting. Parameters can be set. Scans can be done - you can also write your own. Many of the canned scans you can see at their website. Trendlines can be drawn....but not too many - unless they have fixed it could cause it to crash. Multiple windows can be opened. Many more..... Why did I switch? They were going through growing pains and it just was so slow. Qcharts is unreal but seems to be overwhelming for someone who hasn't been using TA. The information available - including FA - that can be put into a quote sheet is almost unlimited. The alerts you can set on just about anything - bid, ask, last, vol, etc. In a way, this enables the program to become almost like a trading partner. Multiple charts for different time frames. Bad ticks are fixed and therefor don't change TA. If it does lose the connection, it automatically reconnects. One of the best things is somehow they don't require much bandwidth which enables me to use the computer for other things at the same time which I couldn't with IQCharts without bogging it down more. Well, that is my short opinion. <G> Please feel free to ask any questions regarding either program. JM PS. I still have IQCharts for backup.
