Thanks for the info. I am using QuoteTracker now. Windows only but its
real-time using optionsxpress streaming for US markets with almost all the
TA/charts I could possibily use. And it only costs US7/mth with subscription
and actually free without sub but with ad and some limitations. As for
web-based , they are slow and opentick is no longer available.

"However, we are sad to say that the time has come for us to close the doors
for opentick. However, this isn't goodbye. In fact, it's a new beginning. We
will be introducing a fresh service with all the bells and whistles we've
been slaving on over the course of the last year under a new name, a new
website and a new level of service. Check back here in the near future for
more information about the forthcoming new company and service. Of course
amongst all these changes, there are some things that will remain the same -
we still aim to provide a reliable free market data service, with an open
architecture for a wide range of software platform support."\

Too bad.
