<DIV><FONT size=2>It may be that you will need to submit to the forum a specific
stock will 200-SMAs from different sources.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To check out your assertion, I had MetaStock provide me with a
200-day SMA for Intel (INTC). The chart returned 76.25. MS Explore returned
76.2482. And quote.com's Qcharts returned 76.245. For a 200-day SMA, MetaStock
could be working with incomplete information depending upon your loading data
settings. For example, the 200-SMA for the price bar of 200 days ago would
require 200 days of data before that, or a total of 400 days of data would be
needed to generate an accurate SMA for a chart containing only 200 bays of price
bars. You should check to see how many days of data you are loading as a matter
of course. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And I don't know about anyone else but when I find that I am
making a change in my chart windows that I want to apply to all the charts that
I pull up, I just delete my smart charts folder (not the data files), call up
one data file, make all the settings in my MAs and indicators that I want in
various windows, and then save this as my default template, so that it will
applied to every equity/whatever as I call them up thereafter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So, Joe, maybe you can check on your settings and record a
specific example for Intel if that is already among your data collection
list.</FONT></DIV>

discrepancies<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know this question was asked some time ago but
I can't find the answer in my archives. When plotting simple moving
averages[50,200,etc] I'm getting results that differ when compared to
identical simple moving averages plotted by other programs. The other
comparisons are identical with each other but differ by a wide margin
when compared to MetaStock's . Is this a problem with my software or am I
incorrectly plotting this average somehow? Could it be an incorrect default
setting for an ending date or what? Thank
you.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>

No nead for Paranoia or starting more Hoaxes (there are enough already !!!)
Additionaly to Equis Support's fast & honoust reply on this issue, there is a hic-up
in their MetaStock Cd's Autorun.ini feature, and in which Support-reply you
were advised to do perform a standard Win9x routine (holding down Shift key
to disable any AutoIt.exe calls), have printed further below another -for my situation-
better&in future use quicker solution.
Equis' advice was:
-Hold Down the SHIFT key while Insert-ing(on tray) the MSK-program Cdrom
into your CdRom-player(press the tiny button on the front panel)
-Hold SHIFT key Down for as long as it takes the Cd to be read for installation
file calls and when finaly being installed, eg until all the "player's installation noise"
has disappeared (eg when in Windows Explorer or My Computer you will see
your Cd-drive change Icons+Name).
-Release SHIFT key
A second and better option is to leave (undo) the Auto Insert Message option unavailable:
-go into ControlPanel|System|CDROM|"YourCdrom player"
-at the bottom left, click for your Cdrom player's Properties
-click the Settings TAB
-go to Options section
-uncheck the Auto Insert Message option
Next time any program that has the Autorun.exe feature being addressed to, will
find its attempts (made by their Autorun.ini file) die in harmony (eg it will not be started/run).
It does mean, however, that in future you will have to manualy start up any setup programs
that their Autorun.ini refer to, if you want such a Cd's program being installed.
You can view the Autorun.ini by copying file to a temp folder, renaming its extension
to TXT and double clicking file for opening by NotePad. In file you will see what Setup.exe
or Install.exe is the correct one to run a setup. (Eg Office has 3 of such setup files in the
Office Cd's main folder, but only one will get addressed in Office's AutoRun.ini).
