You could look at stocks with Alpari's MetaTrader (www.alpari-idc.com), but i don't think you can retrieve the datafeed from your stock brokerage to
MetaTrader... Depending on the timeframe you want, you could write an EA to send
you alerts, and trade manually the other station based on these alerts.
unfortunately, you can only look at select stocks. i want to be able to look at
any ticker symbol i want
You may find other symbols if you dig further at other MetaTrader brokers, but I
don't think you can find one that would have all, because this depends on their
trading activities and reflects in the symbols offered by their server.

Is there a way to view stock market graphs (any stock i want) in metatrader? perhaps by writing a program to retrieve the datafeed from my stock brokerage and convert it to compatible metatrader? if so, where can i find info on the interface
consequently, is there another charting program that allows custom indicators to be written and that handles the stock market besides metatrader that is free ? (i know tradestation allows it , but it costs money)
