A good source for charts?

[insider]

Hello everyone I'm looking for a good source for charts that show the MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) that's free to use. Any suggestions? Most places only show simple moving averages at the most...

market watch .com have a freebie that is predominantly for us stocks, by inputing "au:mro" for example into the stock code you'll get chart for mro australia (really? yes, really) although how good it is i am not sure if you want exact ohlc daily bars........... and if you want a brilliant us stocks charting software that's free try free stock charts .com

Hey thanks guys... BigCharts was exactly what I was looking for... Tried using earlier today but I didn't know what to put before the stock code.... I tried XAO:BHP obviously didn't work

incrediblecharts.com is pretty good. The live version is free for a trial period of 30 days after which you can pay for it or elect to go on the free 13 hour delayed version.

You can set up chart watchlists to match the share watchlists you might have set up in your online broker service and/or the sectors you are watching. Various line facilities to monitor long term trends, peaks and troughs etc. Also the format of the charts can be set from line, bar, candle etc as well as multi 5-21-60 day comparisons etc. The options are numerous.

In either version you receive the "Twiggs" emails updating various interpretations of the major indicies which is very helpfull.
