Re: Moving from SuperCharts to TS8

[donc <countach99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, yes Radarscreen.  You are right VK.  But RS has severe limitiations.
I think that is 1000 symbols.  And the computer resources required to run
RS can be tremendous, since all symbols are loaded and executing at the
same time.

And you must create your own list of symbols.
There is no way to scan sequentially the entire stock universe.  That was the
sterngth of the Chart Scanner, adn we are still missing that.

Thanks for the reminder.
