QTstalker is no use for day trading. It takes data from public sources such as Yahoo, so it'll be 20 min delay unless you are lucky member of http://www.opentick.com/. It can't display 1 min charts either. BTW, the code of QTstalker is a bit messy because it doesn't use proper libraries, for example, for xml parsing. I've fixed and committed to the upstream (not released yet) few bugs, so make sure you apply it http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2010375&group_id=25632&atid=384885 http://bugs.gentoo.org/218904 I would also suggest to use it in combination with http://www.freestockcharts.com/ (requires www-plugins/moonlight :( ) or your broker's website (mostly in Java).
