If the MetaStock data-locking rumor turns out to be true, these are
some of the alternatives I would consider:
1) Stick to the current version of MetaStock (v8.01 is fine) - no need
for added "new features";
2) Prepare for a long learning curve with alternatives such as
AmiBroker.
Although I can code in AmiBroker, choice #1 remains the most
attractive to me. MetaStock v8.01 will work fine for a long time, and
there are some bright people working on some fine MSFL enhancements
that will extend MS's working life well into the next decade.
