I have been researching where a good real time charts could be available, and the QuoteTracker.com is defenitely one of the best. While it used to accept most brokerages and give your streaming info for free, it now currently promotes one company for the end user to start an account with them to get the streaming.

Im trying different software at the moment to see which ones are friendly to people new (like me) to trading. Please message me if you would like a more depth info on what I'm discovering.

The optimal interfaces are the ones that intergrate news, ticker updates, and different trading platforms into one, but these seem customized to the service providers and usually carry a small fee.
