Re: Tracking Portfolio Trades using MetaStock

FWIW, I found that MetaStock stopped dropping arrows, etc. on my
layouts as soon as I defragged my hard drive. 

Have TONS of layouts loaded with text, arrows, etc..

Have seen no problems.

Wish MetaStock would let data vendors have the code to the new 2000
security data format. That would be handy.
