Reliable trading charting software with a robust Real-Time (RT) market datafeed is the lifeblood of any professional trader. At any instant, with Real-Time data, a trader from anywhere in the world, through an online internet connection, can find out how a particular stock, futures contract or any other financial instrument is trading.

The system requirements for real-time trading and charting software and data vary according to the amount of real-time analysis that is required to be done on your PC locally. Real-time systems can range from basic off-the-shelf Pentium 4 systems to custom made dual Xeon servers with 4GB RAM.
