Barchart Stocks & Futures

March 2026 UPDATE: The app keeps crashing and then when reloaded starts pestering to review. If you delay the new review it crashes faster, so have to keep updating my review. Dropped them from 4 to 3 Stars Feb 2022, as use app daily crashing about once a week necessitating a new app download and new email to set up any favorites + *NEW REVIEW! If you refuse to review the app crashes by the next day typically. How annoying! My suggestions: 1) A big improvement for futures charts would allow the option to display electronic suspensions and not exchange settlements at former pit closing times, often hours hence, i.e., in Gold futures 12:30pm vs 4pm suspension. The net changes should be from suspensions, at least as an option! 2) It would be nice if one could update the watch list, without having to sign up for emails, as in earlier versions. 3) MOST importantly, please bring back previous 5 days intraday charts, like in earlier versions! UPDATE: they are obviously not interested in improving this feature. Overall, a useful app, better than other similar apps for now. Note: *The app crashes periodically and every time reloaded asks for another review, which if refused, seems to bring on another glitch and reload again! They probably are just collecting more reviews, IMHO.

Very nice setup. Multiple alert options, email updates on watch list, advanced screen with technical setups, sector strength, chart recommendations, etc. I could keep going on and on. This is great program for all the gambling degenerates and investors alike. Create a free account or trial, you don’t like it, don’t pay for premium. Even the free service is pretty darn good. Only other one I would consider is chartmill, but they are more expensive and Barcharts service offers more than just chart analysis. I would consider this a primary paid service with WSJ digital account. Enough info to keep the most OCD busy.

I got started in TA with Barchart, and have used it around 2 years. It’s a great tool and has only 2 drawbacks in my opinion. The first is during the open it lags the market for the first 15 minutes. The second is that you can drag you finger across the graph to see specifics for a day ie: OHLC and things like that. One of my favorite things about it is that your moving averages don’t get affected if you pull up a shorter-term chart. StocksTracker for example will cut a moving average if you pull up a shorter time frame than the moving average. When that happens you can view OHLC data for some reason. So I typically use Barchart when I want to view shorter time periods with longer term moving averages. StocksTracker gets used around as much as Barchart but I find myself less annoyed with Barchart as I don’t feel like I’m constantly getting ads. Aside from the 2 issues listed above, Barchart is a great way to view your stocks and apply certain technical analysis tools, also called studies, on the app. They also have earnings growth information, all the info to be able to find payout ratios, as well as earnings growth, revenue growth and other statistics like trailing and forward P/E. Honestly the more I write the more I like the app and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to further their knowledge on companies as well as keep up to date with market news.
