Unfortunately, I believe you get what you pay for. Having said that, have you checked out Genesis?

You can go to the following http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/charts/chartdl.aspx?Symbol=NLY at msn investing. It has a pretty good chart program now; although, the prices are delayed about 15 - 20 minutes. Most of the online brokers have decent charting programs that give you real time charts, sometimes you just have to dig around the website a little to find them.
