BCE -
I just dropped TC2000 in favor of Reuters end of day data for about the same money. I was going to use esignal for data then I remembered the 100-symbol (or whatever you've signed up for) limit. I like to scan a universe of stocks (that total over 1000) and that's impossible with esignal. I use esig only for intraday bar collection using a neat little utility called QCollector.
I've never used 7.2 under XP so I can't tell you what the core differences are. I used it under W98 then briefly under 2k but not long enough to get a comparison of the 16/32-bit environment. I do know that 8.0 absolutely flies under XP.
Martin Pring's tutorials are obviously using W98 and it takes a long time for his demos to complete. For whatever that's worth, as we don't know how fast his machine was at the time (1999).
100 bucks - very well done! The going rate has been about 350-500 before the damn thing gets called off. Just once I'd like to see 1 auction end on time just to see a fair market value. 1695.00 is a total raping. Yes, MS is a great program but take away the backtester and really it's a trumped up TC2000.
That TC2000 was something else. For 30 a month the programming you can do with it was outstanding, but NO intraday data and that sucked.
There's a new 5.0 due out in Janueary that allows for multiple charts but I don't know it if's intraday or not.
