Michel, Metastock 7.2 is just the first real Reuteurs/Equis step in the
direction of what TradeStation ao has already done = monthly subscription to
a tool + internet data service. That's the model this business is more and
more joining. I understand europeans are not happy... but what do we deserve
better really ?
7.2 = 7.0 + Internet data on demand. Period.
And forget about Supercharts. This product is DEAD. Forget about WoW Omega
took over. This product is DEAD ! The big guys are all looking to make money
by selling online data and brokerage services.
The next Reuteurs/Equis business step is they could discard the obsoleted
Equis/Computrac data format as well. Think about that.
Alain.
PS - Why did Equis PR leave their own e-mail list in favor of the Yahoo
Metastock Club. Interesting 7.2 experience report there btw.
