Hi Guy and Daniel
"... For most MetaStock users, I believe the MS Excel/MetaStock combo is
plenty. Most users, myself included, don't know how to program in Visual
C++. It would also be time consuming. ..."
The major problem that Metastockers have in moving to additional programs
... whether they be Excel or VB or Visual C++ ... is how to use it in their
trading.
Guy identified specific purposes that he has. As a spread trader I have
specific uses for Excel etc.
No one has written an article on the uses of Excel for trading and universe
of stocks screening.
We shall all have to wait and see what direction Metastock is going in with
version 7.0. Then the future will be a little clearer.
As discussed earlier ... reluctance to rely on a retail version of a program
is a reason why many traders turn to programming.
Another reason ... is the tremendous bias the retail program puts on your
trading thinking / mind set. I have to remind myself daily that technical
analysis is only one piece of the puzzle.
Each trader has to find his own market or structural inefficiency to make
money in. Going there is often off the beaten pathway with all of
existential terrors of emptiness and nothing-ness and unknowing-ness as your
friend.
Happy trails
Walter
