As my trial evaluation period for MetaStock ends next week and I will be
a bona fide owner, I now feel that I have an interest in and a right to
squeak. Before making this decision, I also got a trial setup with AIQ
Trading Expert for comparison and also did research on Omega
TradeStation. So in spite of my imminent squeaks, I still have to say
that MetaStock was the best option available based on my limited
knowledge.
That said, on with my wish list:
001 Would like a way to sort Securities by Symbol as opposed to sorting
by Name.
002 In System Tester, under "Options", would like to be able to set the
Trade Price for a Buy to be the High Price on the following day, and
the Trade Price for a Sell to be the Low Price on the following day.
003 In the System Tester, would like to have a function that would
return the purchase price and purchase date for the current purchase
position.
004 In the System Tester, while using the System Editor, under "Stops",
would like to be able to control the Profit Risk using the MetaStock
Formula Language in conjunction with the purchase price.
005 Would like "datewhen", "highestsincedate" & "lowestsincedate"
functions available as part of the MetaStock Formula Language.
006 Would like to be able to export Reports to a file instead of just
being able to print them or cut and paste to a file.
007 In the System Tester, would like to be able to view all buy signals
that were generated by a System Test since buy signals that occur
while in a long position are not identifiable.
008 Would like the ability to have the System Tester make a purchase on
every Buy Signal, even if the System Test is already in a long
position.
009 Would like to be able to run an Exploration that would check for
stocks with a Trading Expert that has a alert on the day that is
specified in the Exploration (default = today).
Having monitored this list for a little over a month now, I haven't
noted any references to the IRL "Investor's Reference Library" CD. One
of the deficiencies of MetaStock is its limited approach to handling
group and sector analysis. The IRL looks like it helps shore up that
void. Along that same line, I'm also interested in any input that is
available about Martin Pring's Companion CD's, primarily the Market
CD-ROM Companion, followed by the Super CD-ROM Companion and finally
bringing up the rear, the Indicator CD_ROM Companion.
Later,
Bob
