Before you go to the expense of buying your own charting package, maybe it would be beneficial for you to check out a freebie online charting service, like incredible charts or investor web, etc .....
..... you may find that charting is not for you anyway ... some traders dislike it intensely, but that does not stop them from developing their own profitable trading plan.
-----
Incrediblecharts has a lot of online tuition and about 60 indicators built-in to their FREE online package ..... this is more than most traders will ever need ..... you can find them at:
http://www.incrediblecharts.com/
They also have US stocks online now .....
For simple online charts, go to:

... and there's more too, if you do an online search.
