Get Free Forex Charts
Here’s a list of three quality sites I found the offer free forex charts. Free charts are surprisingly hard to find. Most sites want you to download their trading platform or pay for some premium charting service but if you look hard enough, there are some good forex tools available on the web.
After a bit of searching I decided to post these three sites offering truly free forex charts meaning they don’t seem to be trying to push some upgrade service on you. They each have their pros and cons, but any one of them can help you make your next trade a profitable one.
NetDania is one of my favorites for one main reason. These charts show the volume. Volume can be invaluable in determining pattern breakouts and trend reversals.
All of these features make NetDania my #1 recommendation for free forex charts.
Stratagem offers almost everything you need in a forex chart. The time frames are a little limited on the higher end. You can choose from tick, 1 minute, 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour; then it jumps to 1 day. You can also chose from a range of technical indicators and you can, of course, draw trend lines.
Stratagem also offers you the ability to see multiple currency pairs and time frames on one screen. That feature helps a lot when you’re trying to confirm a trend or pattern across multiple time frames.
Be aware that these charts are java based and it tends to take some time to load initially. The program can also be a little jumpy, but all and all Stratagem’s a good choice for some free forex charts.
Forex Markets offers your choice of two chart viewing platforms. You can use the web based charts or the java charts (pictured here). Like Stratagem the java charts take a little while to load initially, but unlike Stratagem the program is smooth once it’s up.
Forex Markets also offers you the ability to look at multiple currency pairs and/or multiple time frames at the same time. You can also use multiple workspaces. For example, on workspace 1 you could be comparing EUR/USD across 1 minute, 5 minute, and 60 minute time frames and on workspace 2 you could be doing the same thing for EUR/GBP. In addition, you can choose from a lot of your favorite technical indicators as well as draw your trend lines.
I really like the layout on Forex Markets. I just wish it had the options available on NetDania. However, it’s still a great platform.
For whatever reason, it’s tough to get free forex charts without signing up for a service or having an active trading account. Even then there are some trading platforms that don’t offer certain technicals. I hope one of these three web sites will help you fill in the games and make your forex trading more profitable.
