Hi Hani,
I am not sure how the new MS version
works, but with the plug-in the draw back is that you require a permanent
internet connection. As well, if you miss some data (due to a drop out etc) there
is no back fill option as the data is retrieved straight off the Brokers Price
Feed Server.
The flip side of the above is that all of
the data is written to your MS data files, and hence is available for back
testing. Further what I actually do is have the data saved into multiple time
frames (1,5,15,30 & 60 minutes). This allows me to
open multiple time frame charts for the same currency.
As for reliability I have been using the
plug-in for over 6 months and have found it to be exceptionally stable.
Hope this helps,
Tim.

I have an idea about Dynastore. The point here you have as
you said a great variety of data vendors to choose from based on your forex
broker plus this for free with most of them.
How stable is this option? Do you need any other plugin to
maintain data history of off times?
I appreciate your feedback.

I can’t see any point in upgrading
to a version that locks you into a certain data feed, especially when there are
better and cheaper options available.
For my money I am more than happy to
continue to use MS 8 Pro with a DynaStore FX plug-in.
For those of you that haven’t heard
of them. Dynastore offers an excellent MS Plug-in to connect to a number of FX
brokers (you choose the broker when you purchase) Best of all the plug in is available for
a once off of $79 US (from memory), which certainly beats ridiculous monthly
fees (eg e-Sig).
The website address is http://www.dynastoresoftware.com.
It is well worth a look if you are looking
for live FX data feeds.
Note, I am in no way affiliated with this
product or website, I am simply a very happy user of many months.

Thanks Dusant for advice. I think forex trading in weekends
is not a critical issue to medium to small investors. You have 5 days 24 hours
enough to make money :)
Do you have any plans to purchase this version? Interested
to hear others' opinions as well.

And others ... Please ascertain from
Equis before buying, that it supports the weekend data or not.
We do have trading in India, sometimes on Satrudays or
Sundays depending on whether an auspicious festival falls on those days.
While I was on consultancy to a bunch of
forex traders, the weekend data was a mjor issue. Wehn I wrote to support, they
admitted that the power tools do not work on weekends.

Hello all, Finally Equis has released forex version of MS pro. Package
includes Reuters quote center forex data feed (for monthly subscription ). I
like this offer and think it would be of use to me but like to know if anyone
has tested it for a while
How is the quality of data feed? since Equis rep. stated that this
version doesn't accept (for the time being) any other data feed.
