If all those features are important to you, don't consider Best Charts. Look at Amibroker, TradeStation, eSignal.
Personally, I afraid of programs that are highly automated and integrated to my broker. Best Charts is excellent for the more casual trader with modest needs. You might consider using B-C for a "second opinion".
