Myron -
Thanks for your positive comments of MetaStock. I believe that it is a
great program and feel best when focusing on what it will do, learning new
ways of using it, than looking for its limitations. Sure, knowing
limitations is important, but building on strengths seems to be more
productive.
Maybe I have a work-around that will satisfy your desire to visually
screen some sixty issues an hour. How about having whatever issues that
you want to look at in the same directory(ies) and clicking on the arrow
(Next Security) to go to that issue? I believe that you would have to have
Tools|Options|Chart Options|Change Security set to "Keep Line Studies" for
this to work.
