What way to go?  Keep your eye on 
AmiBroker.  It is already better with respect to programming and permits 
use of script.  It's charting is inferior to Metastock, but the developer 
is very aggressive and I would be surprised if that gap is not closed within a 
year or so.

  I 
  think exactly the same way as you but I got a VERY strong feeling that the 
  things you are hoping is just a dream,  Because don't forget that Equis 
  is now from Reuters and what does Reuters sell ? Correct data !  So it is 
  very logical they will and are already taking that pad.  Last upgrade 
  what were the new features apart the useless systems which are password 
  protected, yes Data on demand.

  So I 
  believe he can only dream of the MS what is used to be.  And a very 
  bummer is that Supercharts seem to be of the market, is that correct ? Other 
  ways we don't have no where to go.  What would be a good alternative 
  ?

    make a good point. However, if you have emailed them suggestions in the past

    me personally, the next major release (whenever that may be) is going to be 
    the make or break. If they really improve the program, I&#8217;ll stay forever and 
    continue upgrading, buying their addins and data&#8230;If they put all their 
    effort into making it a &#8220;Tradestation.com&#8221; offering (making it an online 
    subscription using only their proprietary data and brokerage house of their 
    choice,  etc) to try to suck 
    more $$ out of us, I&#8217;m history. I&#8217;ll move to AmiBroker or something else. 
    I&#8217;ve always thought Metastock was the best charting package, but not the 
    best analysis package. Again, with a few improvements, done with the user 
    (and power user) in mind, they would be the best.
