In order to do technical analysis for day trading I want to have web site that provides real time charts and host of technical indicators to work on. BSE & NSE are not of much use and Yahoo Finance is late by 20 minutes and therfore not of any value for day traders. I dont mind paying if there is no free site but even after payment if I am linked to yahoo finance it is of no use. I am operating from India. I am sure some knowledgable Indian brother trader or investor or professional can understand my problem and help me out.If possible give me the indicators you are working with for intraday trading only. I intend working only in stocks for the time being and not in futures or derivatives or forex or commodities.
Many thanks in anticipation.

TerraNova is the only one that you can trade everything — stocks, commodities, futures, forex, options — real time, online, direct access. A lot of online brokerages claim to give you direct access, but if they take more than a second to execute your trade, it aint direct.

Find the articles online that have evaluated and compared online brokerages. I found a good one online in Barron's, but you'll find others in the trading magazines.

This is worth putting a little time and effort into, because it's a pain to switch, so once you choose, you're kinda stuck with it.

Townsend Electronics, the Parent company of TerraNova, is the one that digitized and electronified the Nasdaq. They are technological industry leaders and have a powerful and well built trading system.

I use RealTick at TerraNovaOnline, but it costs $275/mo. I think the Investor package is free to use, and just uses one screen.

What you should try is a free trial of their Investor demo. Their rates are good also, but of course, it depends on how often you trade. It will take you months to learn all the bells and whistles of what this program can do.

The other top-of-the line program is TradeStation, but it costs big bucks to join and operate. Some people consider it the Cadillac of trading and technical analysis.

TerraNova is the home of the Day Trader, so they think nothing of you making several hundred trades a day. You don't have to do that, but it's okay here if you do.
