Rory, one major difference with MSWIN and SuperCharts is the manual. SuperCharts does not assume the reader is a trader moving up or just cross-training into another charting package.

For example, pg 11 of the MetaStock manual is caught up with transferring data back and forth between Excel and MetaStock. What newcomer cares about that?

Page 10 of the SuperCharts manual takes up the reasons for trading systems: "History has proved that the great majority of traders who consistently make money are system traders - traders who develop a set of mechanical rules based on market criteria that they have tested..."
The SC manual teaches the software and teaches the "why" of the "how". A great deal of teaching research has gone into it. It takes the user without experience and wide reading from ground zero to a real understanding of how to use and why to use each aspect of the software in the same number of pages.

I've used MSWIN, SuperCharts and WOW and SuperCharts will serve one for quite awhile as it stands. The manual can get one up to knowledge and speed so that turning trading failure into success sooner pays for the that additional software one needs. (by then probably know why it is needed if at all)

It is not perfect, but it installs easily, behaves itself, has testing, merging, alerting, a CD of history to test systems, indicator creation and editing.

Just don't buy Dial Data for downloading without looking at alternatives like QuotesPlus and TC2000. TC2000 costs more per month than QPlus, but it is less trouble to integrate with SuperCharts (or MetaStock, for that matter)

The complaints about Dial Data occupy much internet bandwidth.
