Active day traders might be disappointed in the platform&#8217;s limitations and non-interactive charts and will likely be happier with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/tradingview-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TradingView<\/a> (check out our full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/tradingview-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TradingView Review<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading our Stockcharts review to get the full details below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h.i0t9ojhx9782\"><strong>StockCharts Features:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h.svaqbruqzq2d\"><strong>Charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stockcharts.com<\/a>&nbsp;has a large selection of different types of charts. There are many free options, with more customization available for paid accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pasted-image-0-46.png\" alt=\"Pasted image 0\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are 10+ different types of charts available, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>SharpCharts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>StockChartsACP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Point &amp; Figure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PerfCharts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CandleGlance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seasonality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GalleryView<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MarketCarpets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RRG Charts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamic Yield Curve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StockChartsACP<\/a>&nbsp;is one of the more interesting features \u2014 a highly-detailed interactive chart with dozens of indicators and real-time streaming data. Since most of the other charts are simply pictured-based and not interactive, this is a major upgrade for active traders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access daily and weekly candlesticks and up to five years of historical data on the free chart, but you will need a paid plan for the minute chart and up to 100 years of historical data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also trade directly within the chart thanks to a partnership with the Tradier brokerage. It is still not the best active chart out there (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/tradingview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TradingView<\/a>&nbsp;is still king!), but it\u2019s a good option for fans of this platform.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pasted-image-0-47.png\" alt=\"Pasted image 0\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Also, the Seasonality charting is helpful to see a security\u2019s price over the course of time and identify seasonal pricing patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For finding general entry\/exit points (used by swing traders and long-term investors), this is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see a monthly breakdown over a five-year period of time showing how often a stock closes higher at the end of the month than it opened:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pasted-image-0-48.png\" alt=\"Pasted image 0\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Dynamic Yield Curve chart shows the relationship between a given security in comparison to interest rates. You can quickly find out the rate sensitivity of an investment to help inform your trading strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the charts look a bit \u201cold school\u201d in their design, but the information can still be valuable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h.5f768i1qshby\"><strong>Dashboard<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stockcharts.com Dashboard<\/a>&nbsp;is fully customizable. It shows you a summary of the market as well as your selected panels, so you can focus on your current trades and watchlists.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pasted-image-0-49.png\" alt=\"Pasted image 0\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll find on the dashboard: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Market Overview<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data Panels (select up to 4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sector Summary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Market Movers: Top 10 Lists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SCTR Reports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ticker Cloud<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Predefined Alerts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DP Scoreboard Signals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ChartList Panels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chart Panels (select up to 3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Scans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Alerts (shows up to 5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commentary Panels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your ChartLists<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can customize your view. That way, you can zero in on the charts and data you want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of note: the sector summary shows the performance of all 11 U.S. market sectors at a glance, making it a quick way to see how each sector is performing. From there, you can quickly click through to the top-performing stocks in each sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Chart Panels<\/a>&nbsp;are helpful in showing you an update on your current top three stocks. But since they only show SharpCharts, the data is not truly real-time (there\u2019s a delay). This can lead to missing sudden market moves, especially on stocks with high volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is helpful at a glance (and perfectly fine for swing traders), you\u2019ll want to open an ACP chart for the stock for more up-to-date information if you are day trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I want to point out that the commentary panels are just the latest articles on the Stockcharts.com blog \u2014 not an industry news feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h.m8dnamf78w7q\"><strong>Stock Scanner<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The StockCharts scanner<\/a>&nbsp;is unique in the industry, but can also be very confusing to new users who don\u2019t have advanced knowledge of stock screening. It is syntax-based, meaning you can write your own screening criteria, and essentially you can code in custom scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scanner can also be set up as custom alerts, so you\u2019re notified when a stock meets your scanning criteria over email, SMS, or on your dashboard. But if you\u2019re new to stock scans, it\u2019s a good idea to start by watching the training videos in the education library.

The technical analysis articles will help any new trader learn a lot about trading with advanced charting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>While there is not a lot offered in the way of third-party research and data, you can tune into StockChartsTV to watch commentary and analysis from experts like Tom Bowley, David Keller, Larry Williams, and others. <br><br>It is streaming 24\/7 and gives you insights into the market and current market news stories. There is also an On Demand feature so you can watch at your leisure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>As for a feature you won\u2019t find, there is no stockcharts app. That means StockCharts is best for desktop users and not mobile traders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pasted-image-0-51.png\" alt=\"Pasted image 0\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h.uk3lpwm6a65x\"><strong>Who is StockCharts Best For?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StockCharts.com<\/a>&nbsp;is not for everyone.

Rather, you need enough data for a clear strategy on a long-term trade. Since you don\u2019t necessarily need access to real-time charting, StockCharts could be a great fit because of its customization and unique charting views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, if you\u2019re a swing trader, the ability to custom-code your own scans can help you keep on top of the market in a more automated way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most swing traders can use the free version of StockCharts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h.3plxhzwd5mhx\"><strong>Long-Term Investors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a long-term investor and more interested in market trends and long-term positions than short-term trades, StockCharts.com could be a valuable tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 10+ charting types, dozens of overlays, and customizable scans, long-term investors have plenty of tools to get a zoomed-out view of the market and search for value investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All long-term investors can use the free version of StockCharts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"callout-box-block_132ced0845de970913f992cb55ac6ccf\" class=\"callout-box info\">\n        <div class=\"callout-box__icon-wrapper\">\n            <svg focusable=\"false\" class=\"callout-box__icon info\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                <path d=\"M12 3c-.46 0-.93.04-1.4.14-2.76.53-4.96 2.76-5.48 5.52-.48 2.61.48 5.01 2.22 6.56.43.38.66.91.66 1.47V19c0 1.1.9 2 2 2h.28c.35.6.98 1 1.72 1s1.38-.4 1.72-1H14c1.1 0 2-.9 2-2v-2.31c0-.55.22-1.09.64-1.46C18.09 13.95 19 12.08 19 10c0-3.87-3.13-7-7-7zm2 16h-4v-1h4v1zm0-2h-4v-1h4v1zm-1.5-5.59V14h-1v-2.59L9.67 9.59l.71-.71L12 10.5l1.62-1.62.71.71-1.83 1.82z\"><\/path>            <\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"callout-box__content\"><p>If you\u2019re an active day trader looking for the best charting platform, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/tradingview-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TradingView Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h.xo74y8syfa43\"><strong>StockCharts Pricing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StockCharts.com<\/a>&nbsp;offers free charting directly on its website. But if you want to save any settings or have access to more charting tools, you\u2019ll need to upgrade to a paid account. There is a free one-month trial available for any level, which lets you unlock all of the abilities of the platform for a limited time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pasted-image-0-45.png\" alt=\"Pasted image 0\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are three pricing tiers available, each offering a different level of detail and tools. Here\u2019s a breakdown of StockCharts pricing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Basic ($14.95 per month)<\/strong>:&nbsp;The basic plan allows you to save your charts and settings, access 25 indicators and overlays per chart, and create custom alerts. This base-level access is best for investors with a narrow focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extra ($24.95 per month)<\/strong>:&nbsp;For an additional $10 per month you can get access to 250 chart lists (versus just one), 200 custom scans, and 100 advanced alerts (versus just one). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PRO ($39.95 per month)<\/strong>:&nbsp;For $15 per month more than the \u201cExtra\u201d plan, you get a lot more, including quarterly and yearly charts, 500 ChartLists, 500 price Alerts, and 10 Price Datasets per chart. Plus the auto-refresh time is cut down to only a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h.dq03isx9qhb4\"><strong>StockCharts Free vs StockCharts Premium<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Is StockCharts free? Yes, there is a free version. However, the free version is really more of a trial version that lets you preview the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t save anything, which is not useful for building a trading strategy. You can see all of their charting types and play with indicators and overlays, but that\u2019s about it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StockCharts premium plans give you full access to the platform, a customizable dashboard, more up-to-date data, and the ability to save your settings and favorites. The higher-tiered premium plans allow for more customization and alerts, and more detailed charting and scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, while StockCharts free version can help you validate an idea, actually executing it requires access to the StockCharts premium version, which isn\u2019t a huge deal if you\u2019re a swing trader or long-term investor looking for more general entry\/exit points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Check out StockCharts<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h.buy9e9word2k\"><strong>Pros and Cons of StockCharts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"mtr-table mtr-thead-th\"><thead><tr><th data-mtr-content=\"Pros\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Pros<\/div><\/th><th data-mtr-content=\"Cons\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Cons<\/div><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Pros\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Access to free charting tools<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Cons\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Limited access to real-time data<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Pros\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Seasonal, Yield Curve, and Multi-view charts available<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Cons\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Most charts are not interactive (pictured-based)<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Pros\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Custom code scan criteria<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Cons\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Free version loaded with display ads<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Pros\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Customizable alerts via SMS or email<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Cons\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Fewer indicators and overlays than competitors<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Check out StockCharts<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h.5fvi392ff5f3\"><strong>StockCharts vs TradingView: Which One Is Best?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TradingView-vs-StockCharts.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7272\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StockCharts.com<\/a>&nbsp;is best for quickly finding entry\/exit points for swing trades and longer-term opportunities for fundamental investors.

The paid versions of TradingView offer a similar value, but you can add in quite a few more alerts at the entry-level (at the same $14.95\/month price), and a more modern interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it up, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StockCharts.com<\/a> is more appropriate for long-term investors. <strong>If you\u2019re an active trader, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/tradingview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TradingView<\/a>&nbsp;is the hands-down winner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h.qb15l3580o02\"><strong>Final Word: StockCharts Com Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As this StockCharts com review demonstrates, the platform offers some charts that are unique in the industry, plus the benefit of easy access \u2014 you don\u2019t need an account to check them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a huge library of tutorials and 24\/7 market analysis available, you can build a decent trading strategy with this platform alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, StockCharts is really not suited for day traders.

Plus, the platform\u2019s interface is dated, you can\u2019t save charts without a paid plan, and there are fewer indicators than the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stockcharts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Check out StockCharts<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a swing trader or long-term investor who wants to validate your trades quickly, StockCharts.com is a great platform.
