Nice post gj0201, I agree with alot of things you have to say there.
I found IncredibleCharts quite clunky but I just thought I had to put up with it; after looking at ProRealTime, it appears I will be putting up with it no more.
There are so many little things in PRT that make it a great package compared IC.
#the pitchforks, something I had to learn to manually draw when I was using IC
#copying and pasting segments so you can get perfect parallel lines
#stacks of drawing tools (shapes, lines, arrows)
#has all the indicators you will need if you are a casual, after hours, chartist
#very very easy to use (just sign up at their website, and you just click a link on their website when you want to open up the program)
#it is a java based program so it won't lag the rest of your computer with memory craving coding
#you can customise nearly everything from the outline of your candlesticks to the width of your lines
I must say a big thanks to 10cents for letting me know about this one. Also a shout-out to jakspara for telling me about HUBB a few weeks back. It was a solid little program for a while but then it turned against me when I couldn't open it up without having it freeze on me. Anyways I think I have found my solution to having to manually draw my pitchforks, and that alone makes it a whole lot simpler to draw a good chart.
