Hey I'm wondering what charts do you guys use for trading? Is Sierra charts the most popular? Is there any software-based program you would recommend?

cheers

I've used Amibroker in the past.  Lots of nice technical analysis charting and good backtesting features.  Relatively well-priced if you can use free data feeds.

I've been using bitcoincharts.com. There not as advanced or interactive as stockcharts.com, but they work well for bitcoins.

Me too

Thanks for replies. I do use bitcoincharts.com but find that painful when the site doesnt want to load. I'll take a look at Amibroker and installed Sierra charts this morning so I should be able to settle for something in this mix  :P

for following mtgox and other bitcoin exchanges i use sierrachart, for the rest i use amibroker and trading solution 4.

I haven't found anything that beats Sierra Chart, yet.  I leave the 900 technical indicators off and just add volume and a simple moving average - mostly so I don't have to squint to see where we are at on the price.

thanks for that - i'll give it a go

I use Sierra, currently only have current price line, does anyone know if I can stack multiple charts ontop of each other?

Sierra Chart can do literally anything.  It's just so complicated it takes a while to learn and get it configured properly.  Each technical chart I added had an option to be overlayed, or below, or anywhere really.  So I'm pretty sure you could do that with a whole different feed if that is what you are asking.  It's sort of like excel, where you have a feed, then a chartbook as the next layer up, then a layer on top of that called workbook or something like that.
