I am having to do through a bank, the user interface is utter shit. I've been following in google finance so far
I write scripts in R you can find a lot of good scripts on GitHub for forecasting. Pythons also pretty good but if you use quandl you’ll have to pay for api calls. Quantmod is free from what I recall.

I'm writing my own. In Rust. With data in a database. It's a pleasure to work with. Imho almost all charting software delivers very basic charts and focuses on other stuff. Sorry, charts are important.
