Dear All,

IncredibleCharts give you 30 days trial without any advertising on the charting software.

But after 30 days you still able to use IncredibleCharts for free. The only hings is that there are advertising in it.

I don't find those advertising annoying at this stage. As I am still in the learning process. I am happy continuing using IncredibleCharts, but once I start putting my money on the market then I will definately purchase one of the charting software which I consider fitting into my situation.

Your comments on IncredibleCharts, please.
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

Thanks for the link I've been using it the last few days and am very happy with it, compared to what you pay for other software its awesome.
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

Hey Jet$,

Thanks for the heads up... I finally downloaded it and slowly learning the ins and outs of using it... its quite easy to use actually and theres plenty of indicators to play around with..

Cheers,

J.

PositiveCashFlow,

I found the way to stop the ads, just pay the $18 per month EOD Data and the ads will disappear....LOL
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

I was actually referring to hacking into the program or changing a registry key or something along those lines...

JetDollars,

Thank you for the link. I am still on a learning curve, but I am having lots of fun.

Have you found a way to stop the ads after the free trial expires?

Yes, if you say register today, you get 30 days trial. so when you reach say 25 days trial, you turn back your system clock. Instead of current date turn it back to 2003 instead of 2004.
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

PositiveCashFlow,

Are you still using IncredibleCharts? if not what other charting software are you using?

At this stage I hate to spend money on charting software, but I just have too in future.

I just format my PC because there are so much junk that I need to get rip-off. So I got another 30days free from IncredibleCharts.

The other charting that I am using is FCharts.
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

Hi Jet$,

I still use Incredible Charts occassionally (ads are starting to annoy though), though I generally find that the charts provided by the broker I signed up with is OK for the things I need. I don't need so much indicators... AmiBroker looks good from the posts I see on this site.. might look at that.. or if the $$ rolls in, Im looking at software called Advanced Get...

Cheers,

J.
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

I've recently started using IncredibleCharts too. I did see it mentioned here but didn't really bother to download till I saw link to it while browsing the their forums.

The ads have appeared after about a week. Prices seem to be live or slightly delayed (I haven't checked)- must be for first 30 days??

I'm quite happy with it as I get to know it better, a bit slow and sometimes limited but that's ok as it's free.

Q for those who've used if for a few months: Does the data become end of day after the first 30 days? They say you can't use other EOD data providers as they use special files (ie not csv format).

Any catches apart from the ads that you have come across??

DocJ- I noticed you started using it recently, any complaints or tips??
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

For it's price, no real complaints. Ads have started appearing here too, but I have some other software that prevents them from being displayed now.

Stock filters are handy but have several obvious omissions and is obviously no where near as powerful as metastock et al. The software itself is very fast and I've got no real complaints.
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

I contacted a few ASF members today about whether they knew of a fibonacci tool in IC, I just found out that they are still working on it, looks like it'll be June before it's included in IC, mind you they've had it on their 'to do' list for a few years now so don't hold your breath!! I know that Comsec's protrader2 has it but we all know how slow and unstable PT2 is, I use PT1 and it doesn't have fib tools but is otherwise fine for basic charting.

Stocky,
We are making progress, but slowly. My best guess is about 4 weeks to completion ...... I think I said that more than a month ago. Programming is painstakingly slow, laborious work.

Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

Hello Everyone,

I have been using IC now for just over 3 years and love it. I pay the $180.00 becuase it simply pays for itself.

I also use Bullcharts simply because it has far greater scans for the market.

What you need to do first is draw yourself up a share market working plan on how you intend to trade the stockmarket. I do mean you and not copy someone else, simply because everyone's trading plan will be different according to their money management and stress levels. Also what indicators do you want to use.

Once you have been able to do this then you trial your software packages according to what you want.

Personally, I do not think it is necessary to spend more than a $1000 on a software program.

Also what type of data you want is also important. For example, I pay $1800 a year for live data. Yes, it is expensive and I know I can get it much cheaper, in fact almost for free through Etrade, however I use this live data for my indicators whether to buy and sell during the day and this is crucial.
Believe you me it has paid for itslf usually within the first 2 weeks of the financial year.

Do what is right for you now and change later if need be.

All the best.

Regards

Sarah

Yes, I use IC too for around 3 years and pay for it because I think that is only fair to the developers!
 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

yeah im lovin IC, im still on the trial and tossing up if i get IC or Amibroker. As im new to sharetrading im going to give it a couple of months before deciding on which to purchase. Until then im using IC.

Yes you could get a hack to run the trial without the ads, but where will IC be in a couple of years time if most people did that?

Steal music, not software.... dev's need your money, the RIAA wants your money, but doesnt deserve it......

 
Re: IncredibleCharts - Trial

Dreilly,

Very difficult to compare IC and Amibroker.

With IC pro version all Aust stocks are updated hourly and IC is very easy to use. The downside of IC is in its scanning function and if you you need more frequent data.

With Amibroker pro version is in its ability to do what metastock software will do, but cheaper. The downside is that you need to find someone who will support amibroker in its data. There are many but it gets down to cost.

May I suggest the following:

1/ If you are a beginner then pay 180.00 for IC for 1 Year. Develop your skills and read members forums.

2/ Subscribe free of charge to MedVed Quote tracker or pay about AUD $80.00. This is an excellent service especially if you are trading through Etrade or Commsec. They give you live data delayed only by 10 seconds, plus market depth. I am saying use this service and get use to it, because if you find IC not for you and want to use Amibroker then MedVed quote Tracker is linked to Amibroker.

My friend uses Amibroker and Medved quote tracker. She is happy with the service. She claims only use this system if you are trading with Etrade Commsec or sanford.

I hope this helps

Regards

Sarah
