Most brokers and major financial sites offer free charting software, however the quality of this software is normally pretty average. Two major issues are you can't save your resistance lines drawn onto the stock chart and the data is delayed by 15 minutes.
Let us present www.FreeStockCharts.com. The website has free live data, you can draw lines on charts and save the lines so you can return to them again! Whilst FreeStockCharts will never be as good as paid charting software, it is a very good alternative.
