StockCharts.com does not provide true streaming charts at this time; however, we do provide auto-refreshing charts to members. With “auto-refreshing” charts, you have most of of the benefits of streaming charts without all the hassles.

Many people confuse the concepts of “streaming” charts and “auto-refreshing” charts. Streaming charts are interactive charts that are created by special software that runs on the user's computer using data from a custom datafeed. True streaming charts require special software and/or plug-ins to be installed on the user's computer before they can work.

Auto-refreshing charts are charts created by our servers that are automatically updated after a specified period of time. These charts do not require any special software or a custom datafeed, but still provide most of the same functionality as streaming charts.
