Hi Lionel,
Rather than dilute our business and produce a charting package we have
decided that our expertise is best provided in the data services arena.
For those looking for an alternative upgrade path with decent
backtesting capabilities, AmiBroker (www.amibroker.com) is well worth a
look and is extremely good value for money.
With the latest version almost imminent we are well down the track with
developing a new data updating system that works well with AmiBroker.
The additional capabilities that we have working well now include:
Historical index constituents (eg. test on S&P 500 constituents via a
predefined universe and with a simple addition to your Buy rule)
Classifications: GICS and ICB support
Ability to change data adjustments on-the-fly to incorporate either
capital return, special dividends and/or cash dividends.
Track dividends separately inside a custom field
We are also working on populating the Fundamental data fields within AB
(P/E ratio, EPS etc.) - expected in the next few weeks.
These additional capabilities are currently in an alpha test. Anybody
who is a current subscriber to our services is welcome to join our alpha
test program.
In the future we are also looking to integrate some of the above
capabilities into other charting applications.
Best regards,
Richard Dale.

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?
