I shouldn't be surprised to learn this deficiency has been posted to this list
before.   I'm a fairly new member.    Once about 2 years ago I got someone on the
line at Equis and tried to discuss this issue.   It was clearly an example of being
unable to think outside the box.   The box being defined by the lowest common
denominator of established technical analysis tools.

If Equis would start thinking in terms of Open Architecture instead of Predefined
Terms, they just might be able to leap into the market opportunity left open by bug
ridden bench of TradeStation's new releases.   Is anybody listening?
