Real time charting for financial data is a crucial piece of any modern market data terminal.
Within a node.js platform you have a lot of choices. I recommend this post on Sitepoint to give an overview of JavaScript charting libraries. So far I have been looking at Smoothie and D3. I think it's pretty clear that D3 represents the state of the art but for the purposes I am looking at I don't need anything so fancy. Smoothie is not as functionally rich and may not be a long term viable component as client requirements change, but for the very simple needs for deliverable zero it's a nice fit...
