  <DIV><BR></DIV>I've reported the following Version 7.01 Bugs to 
  Equis.<BR><BR>Still haven't heard anything back from them. <BR><BR>Doesn't 
  seem fair that I have to make a 30 minute (usually longer) long distance call 
  to them (sitting on hold for over 30 minutes is the norm) just to tell them 
  about bugs in software they just finished charging me for. But they don't seem 
  to be interested in answering E-Mails. <BR><BR>Anyone have a better 
  idea?<BR>Ray<BR><BR><BR><BR><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica">Hi 
  Robert,<BR><BR>Still haven&#8217;t heard back from you on my last bug 
  Report??<BR><BR>Have uncovered yet another bug.<BR><BR>5. If I make a layout 
  of one security.<BR>Then add a second security with a LONGER history to that 
  layout.<BR>Then add a Zig Zag to that second security.<BR>Then shut down and 
  reopen the layout.<BR>The mouse will NOT be able to find that second 
  securities ZigZag. Can&#8217;t make adjustments to it etc..<BR><BR>Also I mentioned 
  last time that C/P doesn&#8217;t work.<BR>Well don&#8217;t forget to get them to fix V/P. 
  <BR>It&#8217;s MORE important and can&#8217;t be replaced by the new RS 
  function.<BR><BR><BR>Robert, This App is still crashing all of the time??? 
  Every 30 to 60 minutes.<BR>I&#8217;ve never seen an App this bad about 
  crashing.<BR>And that&#8217;s running it both in the online and off line 
  mode.<BR><BR>I sure hope someone&#8217;s coming up with some fixes 
  soon???<BR><BR>Ray Hodge<BR><BR><BR>Original BUG REPORT<BR><BR>Here is the 
  Bullish Consensus Excel file you asked for. <BR>If you don't get it please let 
  me know.<BR><BR>1. Again when I try to add this link to a window in a layout, 
  at first it lines up fine. But when I close and then reload the layout, the 
  dates of the Ole file slip. They no longer line up correctly. To see this put 
  some trend lines on the Ole chart before you save it and close it. (Try SP5 
  and .spx) <BR><BR>2. Also you were going to get back to me on why C/P won't 
  work.<BR>And more importantly when it will be fixed?<BR><BR>3. Also don&#8217;t 
  forget about the trendline bug. If I make a short horizontal trend line, it 
  won&#8217;t move vertically, only horizontally.<BR><BR>Robert, how about a layout 
  editor? I mean one that works without the chart being up. In English.<BR>That 
  would be a tremendous aid for those of us who trade off of layouts.<BR><BR>4. 
  Finally, this thing is still crashing A LOT! <BR>Especially when I have been 
  working for awhile, and I go to save my work into the layout or to open 
  another security.<BR><BR>I get a crash with this message about every 30 to 60

Ian,

Consider Robert Krausz"s work and include some filters in your decision 
making process. A good example is the ECO (Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator by 
Wm. Blau); a double-smoothed ratio of the difference between the closing and 
opening prices and the difference between the high and low. Now about the 
codes for the indicators you have used...where can we find them?
