Pros: NAME BRAND
Cons: TOO SPECIALIZED CHARTS

Pros: Great options, easy to use

Pros: Charting utilities
Cons: Lacks stock utilities other then charting
Summary: The charting on big charts is exceptional as it should be as per the name. But the rest of the site was not of too much value. I felt they could have done more in terms of stock analysis and news. Big Charts is a subsidiary of my favorite site CBS ... read more
