Eduardo,
Many others have made excellent suggestions on how to improve MS, to which I
have just a few more to add. Except to re-emphasize that, unless you have
complete tunnel vision, you will grasp the basic fact that users are more
interested in having the MS improved rather than having some idiotic add-ons
shoved in thir face. To the list of deficiencies already enumerated, let me
add a few more:
- I use MS Pro; the process of creating real-time tickers is horrendous and
you have to create one for each time frame you want. So if I want to create
1min, 5min, 10min, 30min & 60min tickers for just, say, 2000 stocks, that
will be 10,000new symbols! And they will be scattered over several folders
given your current folder symbol limit. This is INSANE! Wish your
programmer(s) had even a little bit of trading experience
- The ability to adjust window sizes e.g. the exploration results are always
displayed a small window such that without shrinking several columns, I
can't see the ticker symbols in the last column. I hope you know that the OS
most people use is called W-I-N-D-O-W-S and its whole premise of the OS is
the ability to see things in windows and adjust those windows. But some
cretin programmer at Equis has decided for the entire MS community what the
window size should be, and not a mm more! DUH! Can you wrap your mind around
the fact that I have a 21" LCD (actually two) and that I am not a school kid
trading from a stolen laptop (with a 12" screen running Windows 95 and VGA
display), hiding under the bed?
- The ability to select the # of decimal places if you view the values in
Title Bars. Right now, they display to 4 or 5 decimal places whereas many
times I just need upto 2 decimal places, sometimes none. e.g. if the ADX is
33, that's OK; I don't need to see 33.0000. This should be a user-selectable
option, again not something already pre-decided by a cretin programmer
I could add a few more but that list suffices - for now.
The excuse offered by Equis that new features are only introduced if there
is a demand for them is lame. How can you judge the demand if you never poll
the users? I have *NEVER* received a questionnaire from Equis about what I
may like to see in MS, so how can you judge the demand? If you rely on an
occasional email from a frustrated user as the "demand" gauge, that is very
stupid. At one time I used to send in requests but no more; why bang my head
against a brick wall?
Of course, if you just send this email to Trash like all the others, its
understandable - after all, you are just another employee, your job is to
collect your monthly pay check and count your stock options and impress your
bosses about how good a job you are doing - till you get booted out or move
on to greener pastures. But at the very least, give these points some
consideration, or forward them to the appropriate people for their eyeful.
May your tenure at Equis be peaceful and productive.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] MetaStock Official Add-ons
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 11:17:33 -0600
Hello Everyone,
I must say that I enjoy the messages from the group I am very impressed
by the organization and the level of discussions I see on the group
every week.
As many of you already know I work for Equis. My main responsibilities
are managing the Business Alliances, the Indirect Sales Channels, and
the 3rd party products that Equis offers.
We have recently introduced a program for Official 3rd party add-ons,
those are products that are developed by 3rd companies and users of
MetaStock. We have found this to be a way to support our users by
offering additional trading tools not included with the MetaStock
package.
I am writing to the group to ask for some help, and also to make sure
that we are offering the tools that users like you would like to have.
If at all possible I would like to ask each and everyone of you group
members to give me some feedback of the types of products that you would
like to see as an official MetaStock Add-on. This can be products that
you have heard about, or products that you have developed and would like
to have Equis review it. I would like to introduce 2 to 3 new add-on
products this fall, we have started the evaluation process already with
about 3 products but I would like to evaluate at least 6 of them and
choose the ones that have the best functionality.
The official add-on program offers marketing support for the products as
we present the products to our customers, we include the add-ons with
many of our offers and have a brochure with the products listed.
I would greatly appreciate if you would give me your feedback by
September 12th. I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Eduardo da Silva
