CHICAGO, July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Barchart.com, Inc., a leading provider of market data and information, today announced the launch of a powerful new financial tool available for free through Barchart's website (www.barchart.com), named Barchart Market Pages.  Market Pages gives users the freedom to customize and manage their own set of pages within www.barchart.com.  Users of Market Pages have the flexibility to organize and display market-focused content in a layout that is most effective and meaningful to them.  Within each customized page, a user can select from numerous page templates and then drop-in different widgets or blocks of data, content and tools as desired.  For example, a user can build their own "Crude Oil" or "Energy Futures" page that contains a combination of market data, charts, fundamentals, technicals, opinions, news and weather related to a single financial instrument, like Crude Oil futures or an entire sector like Energy.  The same concept can be applied to single name financial instruments or combinations of stocks, ETFs, Mutual Funds, Indices and Forex pairs.

To use Barchart.com's Market Pages, a user is required to have a My Barchart account, which is a free service.  Once registered and logged in users simply navigate to the Market Pages section within My Barchart.  From there users can choose from several default pages, view tutorials, build their own pages and configure their settings.  Within the same My Barchart section users can easily navigate to other customizable tools, including Portfolios, Historical Data, My Charts and Screeners.
