You're right! It was a useful answer.
In fact, it's the most useful answer you may ever get. I'm sorry if
you thought I was picking on you. Nobody is being a smart ass here,
or trying to run you off.
If you won't read the manual and use the help screens to teach
yourself, no one can help you. I've seen it a hundred times. I've
wasted tons of my time trying to help people who can't or won't be
helped. They have an excuse for not doing every thing you suggest to
them.
Metastock and other TA programs cost a lot of money, and that's only
the start. I don't know one person who actually trades for a living,
and I know a lot of them, that hasn't spent thousands of dollars on
materials, data, and software. It's all part of the cost of doing
business.
The learning curve on MS is nothing compared to the learning curve on
TA. I make an extremely good living from trading, but I work at it 10
hours a day literally. The first year I used MS, I spent more on
books, "media" and data than I did on MS and it was the intraday
version. I still spend thousands on all that stuff every year, and I
only had to pay for MS once.
Pring has the best training program there is if you want to learn MS
the right way. If you don't mind "see Jane run", try Metastock in a
Nutshell. It's cheap. You get what you pay for. (There aren't any
other books because there aren't many MS users, so there's no money
in writing them.) However, if you can read Metastock in a Nutshell
you can read a manual, or use the help function to answer basic
questions.
Here's a simple example of what I'm talking about. Click on help at
the top of the MS screen. Open find. Type in: clear chart, which is
what your question was, I believe. Notice in the topic window it says
Clearing a chart. Click on that. Follow the instructions that pop up
in that window. That's all there is too it.
When you've got the basics down, and you hit something really
difficult like registry problems, or how to handle weird time
configurations, etc, I'll be the first to help because that stuff is
only learned through a lot of experience, experimentation,
frustration and sometimes suffering.
Trading is a difficult and psychologically bruttal business. To
succeed you have to do what it takes. In my case, I have trouble with
multimedia training because I don't like to focus on it for more than
a few minutes. In most cases it moves too slow to keep my interest. I
bought 6 Pring CDs when I first started. I watched one lesson at a
time and clawed by way through them. Sometimes I wanted to scream at
the screen to make it along.
I worked with MS and TA for a couple of months, and then I fidgeted
my way through the CDs again. Five weeks ago, I pulled out two of
Pring's CDs, tied my ass to the chair and plowed through them one
more time. The reason isn't because I like pain. It's because I learn
something new everytime I watch them. In fact, I learn something new
every trading day.
If you don't think this is a useful answer, think again!
