Metastock has a good many things to recommend it to traders.

However, Metastock 6.5 does not support multiple data streams with its
version of a chart window that can be referenced by an "exploration" or a
"system".  IOW, no TS-like Data1, Data2, Data3, etc.  This, and the desire
for accessing real-time data, was THE reason I moved to TS.

I don't know if the new real-time version has been enhanced to support
multiple data streams.
