Note: This is our review of the standard web based TD Ameritrade charts.  For our review of the TD Ameritrade Trade Architect charts click here.

Overview:
TD Ameritrade has very good charts. There are over thirty technical and fundamental indicators which should satisfy most people's needs. Being able to save chart settings and draw trend lines is also useful. Our only major complaint is that the charts are a bit on the small side. Those with high resolution monitors may prefer charts that can be viewed in full screen mode.
