Schwab does something similar on the mutual funds you can trade with them
commission free. To discourage market timers and short term trades they
will charge the commission when you close the position if you have held it for
less than 90 days.</FONT></DIV>

MetaStock v6.52 EOD and Quotes-Plus2.x Virtual Users:
<p><b><font color="#009900"><font size=+1>Freezing Problems in MetaStock
v6.52 when Using QP2.x Virtual</font></font></b>
<br>I am having a LOT of trouble using Virtual with MetaStock v6.52 and
Windows 98. If I have a large layout of 20 symbols using Virtual
data and expand inner windows or zoom in and out, MetaStock will appear
to freeze. This occurs after some use. MetaStock will freeze
for about a minute as though it has crashed, then correct itself.
<b><font color="#FF0000">Is
anyone here also getting this freezing problem?</font></b><font color="#000000">
I contacted Quotes-Plus but I didn't get much of a response. I have
included most of the correspondence below.</font>
<p>This is beginning to get irritating. Today I was chatting with
someone online about a stock with only ONE (1) symbol using Virtual data,
and it happened again. Once this freezing starts, it will occur again
very quickly even if I exit both MetaStock and Virtual and come back.
The funny thing is that it happens quicker with the same symbol.
I used a different symbol and I did not get the freezing. However,
I believe if I had used the new symbol for some time, the freezing would
still have occurred.
<p>I opened a very large layout of 24 symbols <b><font color="#FF0000">without</font></b>
Virtual in memory, expanded and restored inner windows, etc..., and everything
was OK. The data in this large layout did not use QP2.x Virtual data.
It was Yahoo data. I will try this again and see if it still happens
but it seems OK with non-Virtual data.
<p>The problem seems to occur quicker when I have large layouts of over
12 symbols after I have expanded and restored inner windows or zoomed in
and out. Virtual seems to have trouble when all that data is in memory
and it takes a long time to sift through it. When MetaStock freezes,
I am able to switch to other applications and use them normally.
After MetaStock unfreezes, I am able to go back and use MetaStock.
However, I will continue to get freezing problems.
<p>I called Microsoft about this problem. They advised me to use
their diagnostic program MSCONFIG. You run MSCONFIG in Windows 98,
choose "Selective StartUp" and uncheck all of the "Process" boxes.
This gives you a "clean boot". I also took a small Norton Utilities
3 program away called "SYMEVNT". Even with a clean boot, I still
get this freezing. There is NOTHING in memory which can be causing
this. The Microsoft tech support person told me it was a QP Virtual
problem. <b><font color="#FF0000">Does Virtual have a problem in Windows
98 and the new MetaStock v6.52? I don't believe I ever had this problem
with MetaStock v6.5.</font></b>
<p><b><font color="#009900"><font size=+1>QP2.x Virtual Seems only Compatible
with MetaStock v6.5</font></font></b>
<br>I had the 12/29/98 build for Metastock v6.52 after applying the patch
at that time. Because the newest Equis patch requires that I uninstall
MetaStock, I spent the last 12 hours uninstalling/reinstalling. I
applied the latest patch available on the Net which brought my MetaStock
v6.52 build to 2/6/99. Unfortunately, this did not help with the
freezing problem I am having while using QP2 Virtual data. I uninstalled
MetaStock again, reinstalled and I now have the original 9/11/97 build
for v6.5. <b><font color="#FF0000">Virtual does NOT seem to have
any trouble with v6.5.</font></b>
<p>However, Quotes-Plus Virtual MUST also be compatible with the latest
MetaStock builds because these patches not only make MetaStock Y2K compliant,
but they also fix a problem with the "Chart Tips" and Windows 98.
These are the yellow boxes which show up when you put the cursor over any
line or bar. Chart Tips will not show correctly in Windows 98 without
applying one of these patches. Also, the patches bring a crucial
new feature to the MetaStock System Tester. This is the main reason
why I want to use the patch. If you are also having freezing problems
with QP2.x Virtual, please tell QP to make their Virtual program work correctly
with the newest MetaStock v6.52 build. All users may download these
patches from their web site at:
<br>http://www.equis.com/customer/support/files/updates.html#mseod
<p>If you still have MetaStock End-Of-Day v6.5, you should use this file:

<P>Daniel, <BR>For the first question I have reported this problem to
our data department <BR>and will research this problem. There is
no problem with the program and <BR>windows 98 as we have 98 on multiple
systems here at the office and have no <BR>problem. The statement
by the Microsoft tech that the problem is in our <BR>software is false,
this tech isn't familiar with our software and does not <BR>have access
to our data and programming department to verify this statement.
<BR>>From the data you have given me the problem started on the
upgrade to the <BR>newest version of metastock (I.E. I don't believe I
ever had this problem <BR>with MetaStock v6.5. ). Until we can
obtain an upgrade from metastock and <BR>research this problem I don't
have an immediate fix for you. You can try to <BR>call metastock
and relay the problem you are having and they may have an <BR>immediate
fix as the problem appears to exist with the new version and a
<BR>possible incompatibility with the virtual metastock that has been
working <BR>fine in the previous version. </P>
