I'm assuming there's lots of options out there for market dashboards to visually represent stock performance and so on. Do you lads have any recommendations? A website or Windows application is preferred, but interested in whatever is available.
>>9599 For a pure Windows application, the classic option is MetaStock. You get it with a data subscription in various levels depending on whether you want history or how real-time. Expect to pay well north of $100/month depending on what data you want.
For purely UK-based market data, advfn.com is a reasonable website option - they have many options depending again on what market-depth you need to be able to see, but it can be cheap - anywhere from £8/month to £200/month.
For technical analysis in the SaaS world, I really like the look of tradingview.com - starts at £15/month.
It's the data that is expensive - the minute you start getting anything approaching real-time data, you're paying "exchange fees" - this is literally where the LSE, NYSE, whoever, makes you pay extra per month for the right to see non-delayed, real-time data; exchange fees go up very quickly, particularly if you're trying to look at a lot of global markets at once.
