Ron, Thanks for the response. I see what you are saying. Everyone is different and needs a different type vehicle. I agree that the TC2000 protocol is high level and with integrity. I have purchased the EOD Metastock and I think I will give it a try with my TC2K. You appear to have a good handle on the situation and I will give MS and TC2k combo a try. Thanks again for your consideration. Marshall

Subject: Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] questio for Ron or anyone
Marshall -I use MS as an End of Day program. I need data from someplace. I find the cost ot TC2K reasonable. I use their proprietary indicators - Money Stream, Time segmented volume, and BOP in a limited way. I can send ticker lists back and forth between the two programs. Some here may suggest that QP2 is a better choice to use in conjunction with MS. I have no real argument with them. Software is a tool. If you need the tool to do what you want, then you get that software.Many people don't quite know what they need or want until an issue comes up that they can't solve with what they have. I include myself in that group. If you want to do a For...Next loop, you will likely turn to QP2 or perhaps AmiBroker. If you find the proprietary indicators useful, and like flagging and sorting as ticker universe reduction techniques, then TC2k is a good choice. Others like Investor RT for its feature set. Still others TradeStation. The list can go on and on.When I've had occasion to speak at some investment SIGs, I've suggested that the combination of TC2K with MS for EOD users provided quite a bang for the buck. Those who have taken that suggestion seem to be pleased with the choice. It certainly will provide the tools one needs to find out what one "really" needs. It may be the case that you need nothing further. I believe MS is about $450 for the EOD program. That's a one time expense. TC2K data costs about $20/month for 20 minute delayed data. For me that's a high value combination.I think that making some software choice, probing what that software can and can't do, evaluating that in light of what your needs are is an ongoing process. It is part of the fun I have in trading. I have barely scratched the surface of what the program can do. Yet I sure wish they had added a looping capability.... ;-)RonM Smith wrote:> Ron, hi.
