How to Choose a Charting Tool for NSE Trading: A 7-Point Checklist

· 6 min read · By EasyExecute

There are many charting tools. Most have a free level, and most have a catch. A short checklist saves you months of switching.

Seven questions to ask about any charting tool.

The checklist

  1. 1
    1. Are the prices live and for NSE?

    Delayed prices are fine for study, not for trading. Check stocks, indices, futures and options. EasyExecute follows live NSE prices.

  2. 2
    2. How many indicators can you use?

    Many tools limit this by plan. Count the indicators you really use on one chart, then check the limit. EasyExecute allows 30 on one chart.

  3. 3
    3. How many charts can you see together?

    Comparing time frames or stocks needs several charts. EasyExecute shows up to 9 on one screen and saves 50 layouts.

  4. 4
    4. Are there real tools for options?

    Look for an option chain, open interest, a payoff graph and a margin preview. See OI analysis and the Strategy Builder.

  5. 5
    5. Can you plan and place orders well?

    A chart that only shows lines is half a tool. Look for ladders, time slices and stop-loss handling. See Easy Execute.

  6. 6
    6. Does it help you review?

    A skill report and a trade journal turn trades into lessons.

  7. 7
    7. Is the price fair, and is there a way to practise?

    Add up a full year. Look for a practice (paper trading) account so you can learn without risking money. EasyExecute has a virtual account built in.

Score your tool

Give each point 1 mark if the tool meets it without extra payment. A score of 6 or 7 means a complete tool. A score under 4 means you will need more tools, and more subscriptions, to fill the gaps.

Why practice accounts matter

New traders lose money while they learn the tool. A virtual account removes that cost. Orders, margin, fees and market hours behave like the real market, so the habit carries over when you trade for real.
