Thanks, Roy.
I am a visual analyst. Optimizing systems does interest me. I find the subject puzzling and wonder how much of the MetaStock program beyond the platform is in the public domain or copyrighted by others such as Walter Bressert, John Bollinger, Gerald Appel, Larry Williams, or Welles Wilder just to name a few. If Reuters wants to exclude the other vendors it would be reasonable to expect someone to be motivated to compete with MetaStock. Who knows, perhaps Bloomberg would be interested. These are just some random thoughts.

Correction, 12 is only partially installed, and since I don't have a data subscription it refuses to complete loading MetaStock and is therefore quite useless. However, my main interest is in what new explorations, experts and indicators there are. At first glance it seems that the MS12FORM.DTA file contains exactly the same 250 odd base formulas that MS11 had - PREV functions all over the place in the formulas where the names start with MS11. It's disappointing that the Adaptive formulas still have all the bugs that were present on the release of MS 11. If you're wondering how I examine the contents of an MS 12 DTA file without running MS 12, it's simple enough to do. I copy the newer version formulas into MS 11, change the name of the old formulas so that they're not recognised any more, change the name of the new formulas introduced to MS 11 so they are recognised as MS 11 files, then start MS 11 and open the appropriate tool to see what formulas etc. are present. I went to http://www.metastock.com/ to look for MS 12 information.

I don't share it with anyone so I stopped when the 9.1 started with limitations. I use CSIDATA Unfair Advantage. I use Windows 7 with XP so I don't have any problems but am always looking to see if anything has changed that I can use. I just looked at the MetaStock site and 11 PRO and EOD is all they are showing. I don't know where you found MS 12 EOD.

Has anyone purchased MS 12 EOD and established if an existing (non-Reuters) data provider can still be used? Equis sales have assured me that I must subscribe to their data feed, but I'm not sure that I believe what I've been told. Thanks.
