What`s the best online, real-time stock chart/news/quote service in terms of price/value?

I`m a beginning trader interested in getting a platform set up for daytrading/swing trading and have found Yahoo! Real-time stock quotes to be the cheapest at $15, but I`m wondering if this low price reflects a lack of quality in their services?

no, thats fine. but i would ask yourself if you really need a real-time quote tracker. if you are an english teacher in japan sitting around without much to do; the time you do have class you won’t be able to follow the market in a fast enough way to pull off day trading. or, if you are free all day, there are still delays if you plan to do it via net. im not a computer whiz but they know your placing an order overseas by your server. you still won’t get instant trades. its a bad idea. if you are a beginner i suggest not day trading. you need to master shorting technics and options to make it worthwhile all the broker fees you will incur!
