<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Daniel,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If you can code in VBA, there is not

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>15 years ago (anyone remember using line numbers?
<g>) I have just recently started learning VBA, and what seems the most
"daunting" to me,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is getting familiar with the user interface and
controls ( I am used to the DOS style of programming ). You are correct that it
takes time to become profecient</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>at programming ( I'm still learning ), but I would
rather learn some of the minor differances of one basic from another than to
change to a differant user interface</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(tradestation, etc......) and learn BOTH the
interface and language. Of course this new feature will allow 3rd party
developers (Mark Brown are you reading this?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to create add-on programs that could let the VBA'rs
use their familar interface with MetaStock. Hang in there guys......things
are looking better all the time!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I concur. Learning to program is a complicated
process. I don't want to put a damper on the celebrations here, but
becoming proficient at programming could take up to a year. That is, of
course, if you were to spend at least 2 hours a day on VB. It's hard
enough to learn how to program in VBA, now we are expected to program in full
VB? I think not. Maybe when I'm not full-time trading, not system
testing, not learning new TA methods, not learning Elliot Wave...
<P>Fact is, the average full-time trader wants to make money, not learn how to
program VB. I think a more efficient route would be for Equis to create
a program similar to RadarScreen to track large numbers of stocks in
realtime. I have been tracking a (much smaller) group of stocks delayed
and this is definitely a way to spot moving stocks during the day.
<P>Just my 2¢, <BR>Daniel. <BR>
