Services for Chart Tracking

Beginner Questions
1

I’m curious which services you all use to view the charts.

I’m currently on a Demo account on IG and using their charts and I just find them to be more of a hassle than it’s worth. They have a ton of information which is good, but the resizing is just not very user friendly IMO.

I’m assuming it’s better to have your broker as the same place as your chart correct?

I’ve checked out the free version of Tradingview which seems to look a lot cleaner, but that’s just a chart tracker, not an actual broker correct? Also, on tradingview I can only seem to have one timeframe for the SMA which doesn’t seem like can be correct? Is it because I’m on the free version?

Are there other chart services that you use?

I use Meta trader 4 . dont know if it the best but I am very happy with it.

To actually place my trades MT4 but I use Trading View to analyse the charts. They have a paid subscription with some bells and whistles but the free version does the trick for most.

I’ve been using IC markets for years. It’s a safe broker who separately holds client accounts with AUZ banks. They have a daily trading report of all transactions - and now a much improved chat line

My live account is on MT5, spreads are very low, and it contains all the chart info I need for my simple Ichimoku strategy.
