Hello Atin, There is nothing wrong with the charts. It's just that when I gave him a printed copy of DELL stockcharts.com he became confused as to what row the number belonged in. You can see that the horizontal lines almost evenly split the numbers. So it was hard for him. If the numbers were moved down just a skosh as to be clearly within a row, there is no more confusion. A few other thoughts on being able to print potential hand charts from stockcharts.com On second thought, landscape may not be the best. All the ones I create in excel are just standard. So -- say you decided they could be printed. Then, develop a standard box dimension. For the sake of discussion, let's say it's 65 columns. (That's the approximate number I have in the Excel charts I create for hand charting. Height: 8.25 [11 pixels], Width: .83 [10 pixels].) Further, if the user could then select how much history is shown, then the rest would be empty columns for hand charting. So - if one glanced at a stock or index, and saw that they wanted such and such history that took up 30 columns, then they still have 35 columns left to enter X's and O's, trendlines, doodles, notes, particular dates, where moving averages where at a certain time etc etc etc. I believe this feature alone would greatly increase the demand for your service. P&F brokers giving clients charts to keep up and follow along. I've helped a few investment clubs get the basics of P&F charting and they would certainly want and use them. I have 15 other (and better) ideas. Give me my free use of stockcharts.com and I'll send them to you <vbg>. Take care, Eric
