    Who uses Metastock?

    Same here; the last time I used it was version 8 and it was dreadful. Layouts were set in stone (couldn't change chart parameters on the fly etc) I see they're up to v11 but at 1700 bucks to piggyback off eSignal (also a charting package) is insanity, or be married to their own data source at...

    Another weird laptop issue

    The hate of a man directed at another man, because of better trading results, Unbeliv

    Another reason I like trading at home with the cat in my lap instead of at a brokerage listening to all the cowboys. You make 1/2 ES point more than they do and they want to know what system you're using to get the edge. Christ.
