Agreed. I bought MS11 to stay current. The new
systems are hardly useful and I find myself using none of the new MS11
features. Tell me I am missing something useful please, forum people..
And yes. I run currency pairs using MT4 platform withg free data from an Aussie
broker and see that the MS bars and data are a tad slower in forming RT
compared to MT4.
I was also part of a local forum meeting where Equis staff presented Headley's
add-on and raved about the Williams %R system in it. I am sorry but that system
is a B- at best. more like a C grade. hate it when sales people just try to
sell you stuff without concern for how it compares to say some simple systems
that anyone can write. Throw in a name like Headley and you have a add-on to
sell to your client base.
I would really like to see us find a free source for RT data so that we can do
away with paying $1300 a year for QuoteCenter data every year.
Metastock really needs to hire someone on staff that can be more discriminating
on whats a good add-on and whats not. Or they need to use a true effective beta
group to evaluate these changes before zinging us with a 50 more indicators and
systems that don't make you money. They need to remember that they can succeed
if they met our real needs - which is to make moeny.

Meta-trader, many of the deficiencies have become glaring. Mostly in the

Where are the Heikin Ashai charts? Why can't we have hooks into setting
line length, placement, colors and styles based on indicator results? I
should not have to buy an additional coding extension to create these.Â
Same with chart scaling. Hate the way MS squeeze down to get everything
in. This really shows up with pivot point and dynamic S/R lines.Â
If something is out of a useful range, let it push off the chart display until
it comes into play. Virtural display ranging that I can scroll up and
down. Why can't I write indicators that are displayable on a blank area
on the right side of the last price bars? Where are the screen
positionable text
