Interactive stock charts
and 3d stock charts
Best online trading site for free stock charts
Interactive stock charts are now often used by free stock chart sites like Yahoo stock charts, Google interactive stock charts site or Reuters .
Such charts are published as dynamical charts generated by flash or by some scripts.The question is : Is such free stock chart good for stock trading or active investing or not ? My reply is that I do not think that such free stock chart can be very usable for active ETF trading or active stock investing. They are fine is you want to have overview about stock market situation . But they are not so good if you plan to use some
stock market screener
to find best stock pick for your portfolio and then prepare stock trading setup or ideal ETF trading pick. The main disadvantage of online stock charts presented by these web sites is that their free stock charts are not very customizable. They offer only limited options how their online stock charts can be modified. What indicators could be used, what time frame and what time period can be charted. And finally their charts cannot be used as realtime stock charts as their data are delayed. Here are some examples of technical stock charts from popular free stock chart sites.

3d stock charts
Regarding this issue I would like to mention my opinion that looking for 3d stock charts is total waste of time. They are much worse for technical analysis of stock charts then normal 2D charts.
Is there some solution if you want to use free stock charts ?
Yes , I have found one web site which is quite usable.
FinViz
offers free stock charts and free stock screener. But to have advantage of full functionalities, you should consider to use their paid services. Their charts are really good if I take in consideration that we speak about free stock charts. Their interactive stock charts already have visualized some important trend lines and support levels. Here is example of their technical stock charts available online.
Their site offers also several other functionalities as free stock screener and much more. If you are interested in free stock charts or free stock screener, check their website.
Another free stock chart option
When I am asked I recommend this solution. Buy
Amibroker
software - it is one time fee only. And then use some free stock quotes sources like Yahoo to update data in
Amibroker
every day, week or as you need. And
customize your charts
in Amibroker as you want. Select as much time frames on one screen as you want, define your own technical indicators you want to use.Customization is very big advantage of using
Amibroker
with some free data source for technical stock charts analysis. It is option to online stock charts available on free websites as mentioned above.
