There are just too many other charting/data vendors out there to keep paying what MS wants in their business model. GM seized the advantage when Ford would only sell black painted cars. It seems now that MS day in the sun has come and gone as well. Most brokers will provide both datafeeds and software platforms for free or nearly so if you only make a min number of trades per month. After all that is the point isnt it, chart so that you can make wise trades? Anyone just charting for a hobby should take up needlepoint! Certainly less expensive, in many ways!

Thomson-Reuters do not seem to be interested in developing and continuing MetaStock. Metastock is probably not a big enough money maker for them.
Charging for the program and requiring that we are then charged for data is a bit expensive.
Richard, perhaps you could buy Metastock?

I have confirmed with Thomson Reuters that the ability to use "MetaStock
format" local data has been removed in the latest upgrade - MetaStock
version 12. It is locked down to only use Thomson Reuters data.
If you use a data provider other than Thomson Reuters, such as
PremiumData, or might want to consider a different data vendor in the
future, then you should NOT upgrade to MetaStock version 12.
If you do uprade, you will be locked into using the Thomson Reuters data
feeds.
Best regards,
Richard Dale.
