<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face="Bookman Old Style" size=4>I have installed one
mobile rack in my Tower case of my desktop computer connected to IDE cable #0.
This allows a removable frame to be inserted and removed from the tower case
without opening the case. I have two removable frames of which each one contains
a hard drive. These are 7.2 and 5.7 GB sizes and I use them primarily for
backups and restoring data when necessary. I alternately use each of the two
hard drives for back ups. These hard drives compliment my main working drive
where my programs and data reside in a 3.2 GB hard drive. I also have an old
drive of 1.6GB installed on IDE #1 cable which also accommodates the CD, but it
is installed as the slave and is slower than the other drives. It is used
as a buffer if I need to transfer data back and forth from the two removables. I
have been using this arrangement for about four months satisfactorily. The
disadvantage of course is the necessity of be carefully with hard drives removed
from the system. They may be damaged if dropped. I use the Seagate backup
software that came with Windows to record, compare and back up
files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face="Bookman Old Style" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=4>Cost wise the reomovable rack with
two drawers cost $40, the 7.2GB cost $160 and the finally 5.7 cost $127. These
were on sale and I figure for 13GB backup capability it is a reasonable cost.
Also the hard drives may be purchased from different sources. If one vendor goes
out of business the others probably will not. I think the hard drive scheme will
probably be used for sometime.</FONT></DIV>

MSPro users,
<p>I built this indicator for MSPro to save users the trouble of drawing
horizontal trendlines from yesterday's H, L, and Close on today's intraday
charts. While drawing 3 trendlines is not a particularly big deal,
it does begin to get old if you also draw daily pivot levels, etc.
Here's what I came up with, which hopefully will save you some time.
It plots
<i>not</i> at the time of the current live bar, but at the
<u>prior</u> bar. If you've ever momentarily lost track of
the last price as it moved behind various line studies, you may find that
you like this setup as well as I do.
<p>You'll notice that I've included the option to either display or not
to display the High and/or Low: This was done solely for scaling
reasons. The auto-scaling feature in Metastock reacts not only to
price bars, but also to indicators. This indicator's display option
simply allows you to "remove" (actually relocate) the low or high, which
in turn will allow the chart to expand without removing the indicator or
turning off Metastock's auto-scale feature, if in fact the low/high
plot was causing a compression. If you choose to NOT display the
L and/or H, it/they are simply assigned the same value as the prior day's
Close. Since the Close generally doesn't fall outside the H/L <g>,
this seemed like a logical place.
<p>I set the default value of the first bar's completion hour/minute for
a 5 minute chart of a market that opens at 9:30, however you can easily
select any start time. Note that the first bar's completion minute
of a 3 minute chart is different than a 5 min chart, etc. If you
drop the indicator on a chart and the indicator's start time and the market's
start time differ, it won't plot.
<p>I usually display the indicator as dots - it seems to make the chart
less busy.
<br>I've included a text version and also dta file which can be imported
directly to MSPro.
<p>Regards,
<br>Ken
