    Chartaffair hails from your country and has a free trial I believe. Ask @Christof+ for that. Volatility HQ has been around a little longer and has some features that Chartaffair might not have but for a starting SOer both are equally valid. I stuck with VolatilityHQ because I started with it, @Djtux is very responsive and VoltalityHQ does what I need and more. So I have no reason to change and honestly I think there are people that would say the same about Chartaffair.

    @Drizzle_268 I was thinking about this further after my reply. I was exactly where you are many years ago. Fortunately, I quickly realized that I could make better money in a much more financially responsible way, continue plying my trade. I went to an options class and a couple of follow ups just on a lark in the 90's. At first I bought the whole line, we are talking about the dot com 90's, all you needed to make money was a pulse, or so I was told. I realized it would take a lot more for me to do it without just making it a gamble. So I played with options off and on for 20 years, making a little money and learning a little but continuing to work full time. My point is that if you believe that this is something you can do with a couple of months hard training, it will put immense pressure on you psychologically, as it did me. That's why I dropped it so quickly, I was not about to embark on the learning path in a way that already had me tied up in knots. It was 20 more years before I retired early and applied myself to options trading full time. It doesn't matter how good at options trading you are, if you have that huge load of psychological pressure, you are going to screw it up. Just my 2 cents. The last 3 years, learning and applying it full time has been fun, especially the last 1.5 years with SO.
