iCharts Discussions

We have decided to discontinue our "Live Charts" product (the plain image intraday charts) due to these not being feasible for intraday live charting. We plan to release these later in an installable software format.

There are many technical issues with live charts. Plotting of charts is not exact, volume does not display properly, these charts are too slow resulting in our server slowing down. Too many issues and we will not be fixing these as these are plain image charts which are not suitable for intraday live charting.

The current Nifty futures chart in Live Charts will be removed too (after May 2008 expiry) as its data is not reliable. We are trying to get futures data from a data vendor, we will release futures service once we start getting data.

Please post your comments here.

Dear ST,

I am also a keen follower too of live charts like Sureshb65. His comments exactly matches with mine. There is no facility to look into 10 or 20 days chart in Jcharts. It is useful for Day traders only. Hence, you are requested not to discontinue Live charts keeping in mind the need of subscribers like me.


regards,

ramtirupati.

st sir, regards. i hope you reconsider and donot remove nifty futures live charts as it is only place where it is available. since you have made it very clear that it is not realtime nobody should get hurt by its inaccuracies. also i dont think its that bad that it should be discarded. at end of day it is very useful for analysis. since its futures which are traded that data is important. once again requesting you not to discontinue nifty futures live charts.live charts in present format is very simple and user friendly.will new format be so?

ST,

I follow more of LIve charts on NF than jcharts which is only for cash prices! Live charts offer the convenience of self updating NF charts, multi-day with indicators. One need not use them for just day trade. I feel it should be retained otherwise a major advantage of icharts site is removed.

i fully agree that these charts should not be discontinued.
actually these are the only charts i am using for day trading after doing analysis in the evening.
for actual price, i keep the JCharts window open.
however, for trading Hourly Bollinger Bands with three deviations simultaneously, Live Charts are peerless. this functionality is not availabe in other charts in icharts.
please, do not discontinue these charts until and unless alternate software is available for displaying 10-days hourly charts along with continuosly displaying three standard deviations(S#,S@ and S!).
and since it is very clearly stated that the prices displayed may not be accurate, where is the risk.
KINDLY KINDLY DONOT DISCONTINUE.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Fine....I will let Live Charts continue for a while.

Actually the software we were planning to replace live charts uses the exact same charts so the look and feel would be the same.

The problem is Live Charts are killing the server during market hours. We cannot just keep updating our server frequently. Live Charts ARE NOT AUTO-UPDATING as a user above stated. To be frank the charts do not display accurately even if we get accurate data. I am scared to realise that people are using it to trade.

NOTE: Whoever are using our live charts are using at their own risk. Nifty Futures in live charts will be removed once we launch separate futures service in near future.

Dear Sandew,

This is a very old post.
Live Charts have survived after that.

Have fun ...PT
