In addition to Metastock I also use the AIQ TA product. The user group for
AIQ is run via Egroups (now Yahoo! Groups) and is extremely successful.
There are a number of AIQ sub-groups covering specific areas such as
trading, formulas/systems, and general. AIQ also contribute many posts to
these groups (this is separate form their regular technical support). These
AIQ groups work so well I would imagine virtually all AIQ users go there and
would have no reason to look anywhere else.
Given the problems Equis have running their List Server I would have thought
it would have been quite an attractive option for them take the AIQ approach
and offload it all onto a Yahoo! Group.
