gann_144,
The people at Metastock don't listen to you
probably because they don't even know how powerful Fibonacci time projection is.
They don't know it (and many other techniques) probably because they don't
trade! Dynamic Trader is very strong in time and price projection, no doubt. DT
is so good because it is created by a good trader in the real
world.
I am really surprised that the new version of
Metastock is still very weak on time projection. Another thousand new indicators
are still useless to me.
Best Regards,Kelvin

Subject: Re: [EquisMetaStock Group]
MetaStock Official Add-ons
Roy,Those recommendations to Equis would definately
be a plus for Metastock Users. I have been using Metastock since v3 from
1992. My biggest disappointment with Equis is that they focus on the wrong
areas for their product like Add-Ons. Add-Ons dont do anything for the
Metastock program itself per say.I have constantly given them
suggestions on how they can make Metastock more powerful. Besides your
formula variables requests, I would think more dynamic tools would
definately be a plus. Many times I have made suggestions to them but they
dont listen. For instance I have mentioned to make tools like the Fib Time
tool be dynamic rather than fixed whereby the user can contract/expand the
time bars. I also have suggested adding other built in dynamic
tools...like those found in dynamic trader etc.They keep on
telling me not enough people request it and therefore they dont intend to
add them. If only I owned Metastock...my philosophy would be to not wait
for requests before implementing them but improve the software by adding
dynamic tools etc before. They shouldnt wait for the demand to make
improvements but to CREATE the demand for their product by having tools
that every type of trader would like to have in ONE software. This could
make Metastock the true king of trading software.I have tried
asking Equis on how I could contact Mr. Achelis for many years now but
they say he doesnt even have an email address. I know if I had a one on
one talk with him Metastock would definately be a totally different and
more powerful complete trading software.I believe the purchase of
Equis by Reuters will in the long term backfire on Equis for it was
purchased during the internet mania only because every company was
purchasing trading software companies...not to give traders a better
software but to draw people to their main business which is
data/information. ie. Reuters Data. Equis should concentrate on
improvements to the product itself whether they be more powerful formula
variables or tools and not focus on some add-ons. Just my thoughts.
Anyways, back to the real world i go..LOL.gann_144---
