Do the charts in that program reflect sydney open on Sunday(technically it is monday for them but sunday for EST) or do they skip it and begin at 5pm EST on Sunday with New York open?
This is crucial for me.

I don't think you people understood what I was saying. Right now I am pondering switching to Metastock Forex or Pro. The charts I use now are FXTREK free charts(comstock feed). Sunday at 2pm EST they "turn on" while my broker's (GFT) charts ignore time period from 2pm to 5pm EST on Sunday altogether. It is as if there were no trading during that time as far as GFT is concerned. This distorts the charts for me big time. I need metastock to be like FXTREK in this regard instead of GFT

Get Amibroker. You can filter forex to inlcude weekends and 24 hours a day. I am not sure about Metastock but I have tried both and Amibroker is better imo.
IShopAtPublix, i use 2 free, realtime feeds from Alpari Moscow into the
basic MetaStock Pro v 8 - MS, MetaQuotes - and MetaTrader 3 - MT3
both MQ and MT3 list 11 fx pairs - the majors; MQ is a direct feed but MT3
requires a utility to convert the price data from MT3 to MS, i use -
'To Metastock' :http://pavel.lica.com.ua/?p=soft&s=1&l=en
there's also a manual updating method via an MT4 indicator but requires
using The Downloader and Convert, however one has access to most if not
all fx pairs and etc from some fx brokers, i use it to collect data to view in
Advanced GET and there's versions for other charting programs
LicaSoft lists 'To MetaStock 6' which collects data from MT4, haven't tried
it and not sure if it's also realtime: http://pavel.lica.com.ua/?p=soft&s=2&l=en
Alpari Moscow's hours are Sunday 3pm PST to Friday 2pm PST
fx brokers set their their own start/end times, holiday closings, and may
have different Spring/Fall time changes to the US
if you - or anyone else - want a copy of MQ, MT3 or the MT4 indicator pm
with your email address
