You could not be more wrong. This is the most un-geek technical analysis software I know of.
Of course, you might find entering s symbol and clicking your return button to be technical, but compare it to what one has to do in Metastock, Amibroker, VectorVest, TC2000, FastTarck or any of the web based charting services to get the same information in front of you. I use all of them and there is no comparison when it comes to ease of use. Granted, the other programs provide some high tech geek capabilities, but that is exactly what B-C avoids. If you know of a program that is easier to use than Best Charts, and provides comparable information, tell us what it is. Easy to use one click for price charts with 16 technical indicators graphed is not geek, it is beginner easy. Do you think writing code for the other programs is easier?
