I used to feel the same way, cause I'm in the same boat.
Unfortunately I've been run over so many times by the MetaStock/Reuters
steam roller that I'm starting to wonder. Success can go to your head, or
in this case theirs. And it's getting old.
Isn't there anything else out there that does charting, layouts, templates,
etc.?
It seems like there's an endless supply of contraptions for helping
mechanical traders
but next to nothing for visual traders. I don't understand why that is.
Maybe it's because the newbies and amateurs flock to what looks easy and
doesn't look like it will require much of their time. Not much training, etc.??
So they try mechanical first. And then when they flush they are embarrassed and
go away quietly.
I have long heard that the money for these app peddlers is in selling to
newbies who come and go every few months. Why bother with us successful old
timers?
All we buy is upgrades. Besides they probably figure we're locked in anyway.
Doesn't anyone know of an alternative charting app?
Surely there must be something out there somewhere?
Please respond by E-Mail if you fear the beast.
Thank You, Ray
