Vitaly:
It depends on your level of computer literacy. The $10.00 for a CD is
quite cheap and metastock online help is usually good. But rather than buy
the manuals now, I'd wait until V 7 eod came out and get the whole box.
Like you I use QP2 for data. There are fewer problems with them than with
my previous data supplier.
Hope this helps
What other software do you use?
