In the 
interest of full disclosure, Do you have any financial or personal interest in 
AmiBroker? Also, if it is so good, do you continue with MetaStock? 
Why?

  Have to disagree.  Take a look at what a 
  one-man shop can do by looking at <A 
  href="http://www.amibroker.com";>www.amibroker.com and their Yahoo 
  group.  As always, the problem lies with 
management.

    You may be wrong.  We are not keeping 
    enough Equis people employed. While the number of employees is not under our 
    control, there are not enough Equis employees to bring this program up to 
    snuff.

      You receive a warm fuzzy feeling when you think 
      of the Equis people that you helped keep employed.  
      
       
      Keep your eye on the up and comers like 
      AmiBroker.  It already beats Metastock in the programming and system 
      testing areas, and if they get their act together and do the same for 
      charting it will be a real alternative to future 
      upgrades.

        Lionel,
         
        Your point is well taken. I wonder what I 
        got for that last upgrade, and what, if anything, I will get with the 
        next one.

            Sean,
             
            Sorry to say, but my modem got zapped 
            by a lightning surge, I had to reinstall Windows, and I lost my 
            e-mail files. Thus I can't give you the direct quote of what Equis 
            said. However, I'll give you my interpretation plus my opinions. You 
            may want to go directly to Equis for 
            clarification/confirmation.
             
            1. Equis said that the indicators that 
            can be downloaded from the May 2000 article were written at some 
            later time, and may not be a direct copy of what Ehlers 
            wrote.
             
            2. The Cycle Length Indicator from the 
            May 2000 does not agree with the one that can be downloaded for the 
            March 2000 article, according to my <FONT 
            color=#000000>observations.
             
            3. The Sinewave Generator from the May 
            2000 download does not agree with the MESA Sinewave indicator that 
            is contained in the Metastock indicator list, again according to 
            my 
            observations.
             
            4. My <FONT 
            color=#000000>impression is that someone at Equis who didn't 
            understand the article did the programming. They did not talk to 
            John Ehlers about this.
             
            5. Equis said that their programmers 
            are working on other things now, are very busy, and won't be able to 
            look into this anytime soon.
             
            6. I have found two other errors in 
            Metastock's programming lately.
             
            7. My overall conclusion is that you 
            shouldn't trust any <FONT 
            color=#000000>of their indicators; program it yourself if 
            possible.
             
            Hope that helps. Let me know if you 
            learn anything else.
             
            Tom

                Sinewave Generator
                I recently downloaded from the 
                Equis web site the Sinewave Generator described in John Ehlers' 
                May, 2000 TASC article. When I applied it to the Sept 01 
                Canadian Dollar contract, as well as others, I got a strange 
                looking plot that missed several obvious cycles in the price 
                data. I sent the plot to John Ehlers and he responded that there 
                was an obvious error in the Sinewave Generator. 
                 
                I have just notified Equis of this 
                error.
