Although I've read a some negative posts on Dial Data, I do use them and haven't had much trouble with the data. ( Would like to learn what people don't like about Dial Data, but am too complacent to go out of my way to do so, I guess.) Once in a while there is an obviously errant figure, but that is easily corrected IMO. I have a watch list that generally has between 300 and 500 stocks at any time. Download cost is negligible: Dirty Data!! No error correction of data sent. Its all sent clear text..... SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Takes forever to download large #'s of securities.... Cost more than the service I prefer for less.... Adv. Easy integration to MS win or WOW. I prefer quotes-plus. WOW versus metastock is tough. I have both. I don't use the FA in WOW. WOW will system test multiple securities MS will not. MS has better charting, indicators (recursion, ie. Vidya), experts, and better quality system test. You won't be disapointed with either one. Both are powerful. If I had to choose one I would choose metastock. Sean
