Where can I find the Vidya indicator ? It doesn't seem to be in my 6.5
program .
Also does anyone have a recent Stocks & Commodities CD of back issues
for sale ?

Metastock : It would be nice to have individual indictors on your web site
that can
                    be downloaded quickly like Omega Research does ,but
with  an
                    explanation as to how to use then so there's no need for
back issues
                    of Stocks and Commodities .
