> Equis International Announces the Release of
> MetaStock Professional for DBC Signal-
> Real-Time Technical Analysis Software for Serious Investors
>
> SALT LAKE CITY, UT, July 27, 1998--With today's release of MetaStock®
> Professional, Equis International takes the next step to help serious
> traders evaluate their investments with real-time technical analysis
> based on a Windows interface. Over 70,000 investors in more than 70
> countries have benefited from the power of the leading technical
> analysis and investment charting software, MetaStock.
>
> MetaStock Professional will help investors make faster,
> better-informed investment decisions by creating real-time charts;
> plotting prices and informative indicators; building, testing, and
> optimizing trading systems; searching for securities that match their
> criteria; and setting critical trading alerts. Investors can then make
> more educated, profitable decisions about their investments.
>
> Real-Time Data
>
> "Even though we have had a DOS real-time package since July of 1992,
> traders have been asking us for a Windows version of MetaStock with
> real-time capabilities," says Equis founder and president Steven
> Achelis. "We had to do it right because we know how vital reliable
> real-time analytical software is to professional and serious traders.
> It gives them the resources they need to make smarter, more timely
> decisions. And those decisions become second nature when real-time
> data is combined with MetaStock's ease of use and wide choice of
> powerful analysis tools."
>
> Works With All DBC Data Feeds
> Internet Data Feed
>
> MetaStock Professional for Signal supports all of the DBC Signal feeds
> including FM, Satellite, Cable TV, and the new Internet-based Signal
> Online. And MetaStock is the only advanced technical analysis program
> to support Signal Online. Introduced in November 1997, Signal Online
> delivers continuous market data to customers' PCs and laptops anywhere
> via phone line or wireless connection. It requires no special
> receiver hardware or start-up fees and is competitively priced.
>
> MetaStock Pro uses the Signal Data Manager API which means you can run
> MetaStock Pro at the same time you run other software that supports
> this API (such as the Signal Quote Screen software).
>
> Internet Data Feed
>
> Technical analysis is a basic approach to investing with a deceptively
> complicated-sounding name. As Achelis wrote in his 1995 book,
> Technical Analysis from A to Z, "Simply put, technical analysis is the
> study of prices, with charts being the primary tool." MetaStock
> Professional and its predecessors do the complicated underlying
> calculations to anticipate future price changes through technical
> analysis so that the individual investor doesn't have to. All an
> investor has to do today to use technical analysis is to learn to read
> the charts created by MetaStock and make appropriate trading decisions
> based on those charts. For this reason, many experts now call the
> approach visual analysis instead of technical analysis.

>
> Charting And Analysis
>
> With 9 charting styles and over 120 indicators and line studies,
> MetaStock Professional provides a remarkably powerful set of analysis
> options. Many of these indicators are currently found only in
> MetaStock. An indicator is a mathematical calculation that can be
> applied to a security's price and/or volume field and can be used to
> anticipate future price changes.
>
> Cutting-Edge Technology
>
> MetaStock Professional was designed specifically for Windows® 95 and
> Windows NT®. It is truly object-oriented with a 32-bit design and
> certified 100% compatible with Microsoft Office 97, Windows 95, and
> Windows NT 4.0. Because of this compatibility, users are familiar with
> the interface, and therefore spend less time learning the software and
> more time analyzing their investments.
>
> Internet Integration
>
> MetaStock Professional also provides integrated tools for Internet
> activities including links to option chains, current quotes, company
> news and information, and technical analysis references. As users
> chart and analyze the price data on a security, they can also get the
> most up-to-date news available with just a click of the mouse.
>
> Seven Tools in One Package
>
> In addition to the extensive charting capabilities and the wealth of
> indicators, MetaStock Professional performs seven vital tasks. These
> tasks include:
>
> * The backtesting of trading systems with the System Tester.
> Traders can quickly see how much they would have made or lost if they
> had traded with a certain set of trading rules. The System Tester also
> compares and optimizes trading systems for maximum profits.
>
> * Educational insight into chart analysis from numerous industry
> experts with the Expert Advisor(tm). In addition to offering
> commentary, alerts, and buy/sell signals on the user's chart, the
> experts also serve as an educational tool that many investors rely on
> for new perspectives.
>
> * The searching of the investor's database using The Explorer(tm),
> which scans a database of securities to find the ones that match an
> investor's set criteria. It can also sort and rank the results to
> focus only on the securities with good profit potential.
>
> * The ability to create custom indicators with the Indicator
> Builder. Choose from over 220 functions, including 40 special ones
> that identify Candlestick patterns.
>
> * Specialized options analysis with OptionScope®. An ideal tool
> for traders to calculate option price and implied volatility on the
> price of the underlying security. Works with any type of option
> traded, graphs results, and calculates all essential options-including
> the "greeks."
>
> * Using The DownLoader(tm), MetaStock's built-in data collection
> program users can retrieve historical end-of-day information from six
> vendors.
>
> System Requirements
>
> This version of MetaStock Professional requires Microsoft Windows 95
> or Windows NT 4.0 (or higher); a Pentium 90 MHz machine; 32 MB RAM; 50

> for data storage. This version of MetaStock Professional also requires
> any DBC Signal datafeed using Data Manager 4.0.
