Review
The software is very basic in terms of utilities and simple to use but lacks a lot of drawing tools and back testing functions which are needed for much more detailed technical analysis.
This is an excellent software to start with and also for a quick technical check.
The data availability in the free version is only 3 years which is the biggest drawback.
Saving as picture and templates are good features of the software.
Adding and removing indicators is a quick one step process.
Would recommend using the free version and not the paid one.
I believe many readers might be using the software and would like them to put their views in the comment box. Those who find any queries on the software and can post too.

Hi,
As this post suggests, Chartnexus is one of the great software for simple technical analysis. I use linux at home and work and I could not find much free tech analysis softwares for linux. Chartnexus supports both Windows and Linux and I used it for a while.
From the previous post, I heard about the Ganalyst Professional for the first time and it looks like it works only on Windows.
One other software that I suggest is Fibotrader. Setting up Fibotrader was a nightmare for me once and finally I figured out how to do that. The below link describes the steps that I used to setup Fibotrader with EOD data.
