There are many websites offering free stock charts, but mainly for US stocks. I managed to find some websites that offer charts for Singapore stocks. I have also rated their service and ranked according to my preference. I used an example of a penny stock, Tuan Sing Holdings, as a test subject for the websites. There are some sites that only cover large cap stocks, but I want to make sure they have a good collection and using a penny stock would affirm that. Secondly, I would also evaluate the data – how many years of data does the website provide. Thirdly, I would use 2 simple indicators – simple moving average for 50 and 200 days, to check on their availability of technical indicators.
#5 SGX
SGX definitely would cover all stocks listed on SGX. It contains all the announcements from the respective companies as well as the dividends given out.
Data: 2 years
Indicators: Moving average crossover available
Design and interface: Small and ugly. Difficult to see the price.
Website: SGX
#4 Chartnexus
This is a desktop application, which means that you need to download and install in your computer. This provides the biggest chart in this list.
Data: 3 years
Indicators: Moving average crossover available
Design and interface: Good, clean and with many indicators. But need to download data daily.
Website: Chartnexus
#3 Bloomberg
This is a famous company for stock data. No, you wouldn’t need a to buy a bloomberg terminal. They offer a free web version for your viewing.
Data: Beyond 5 years
Indicators: No moving average!
Design and interface: Reasonable size and aesthetic. Difficult to search for stocks
Website: Bloomberg
#2 Reuters
Reuters is another famous financial data provider.
Data: Beyond 5 years
Indicators: Only allow one moving average!
Design and interface: Good size, spread across my monitor screen from left to right. To search for Tuan Sing, I need to include the Holdings at the end. Otherwise it would not appear in the results.
Website: Reuters
#1 Yahoo! Finance
Yahoo! Finance is no. 1! The best free stock chart in this list.
Data: Beyond 5 years
Indicators: Moving average crossover available
Design and interface: Good size. Clear lines. Easy to search for stocks.
Website: Yahoo! Finance
Dear Alvin,
Thanks for the info. Was thinking whether you have any websites to recommed that shows key financial indictors such s PE ratio PEG rations, growth numbers etc etc for Singapore and Hong Kong stocks
How about interachart.com it does cover both singapore and hongkong. Many indicators and completely web based.
Hi great post. You can also try out investingnote.com/charts, the website contains powerful charting tools for Singapore stocks and provides up to 20 years of data for free. Many indicators and drawing tools.
Thanks a lot Peter. Your investingnote.com/charts suggestion works better for me. I’ve been looking for a site that uses TradingView for SGX stocks as I am more familiar with it. Any chance you guys could add a some sort of “stocks screener”? When I got no customers, i have this habit of screening stocks during trading hours. Thanks again.
And of course, thanks a lot Alvin for the list. I’ve just downloaded and installed ChartNexus on my PC. The free version is not in realtime – but i works well when I am screening for stocks after trading hours.
Best regards,
Nancy NC
Thks Alvin for the info. Is there any chart that provides corporate and retail volumes in the charts
