LastShadow, I'm a current user of Windows On Wall Street 7.5 on Win98. For some time I've been interested in converting to Mac but this stock app is one of the more important apps for me. I've roughly indicated what I actually use below. Are my needs similar or less complex than others on this thread and would ProTA or other programs meet my needs. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I use real time feed to watch about 100 stocks or options symbols on my screen at any one time with all the normal parameters. I often call up complete options chains on 2-3 stocks at a time which appear in a separate screen. I usually have 10 or so real time charts - usually set up as 5 minute candlesticks. This gives me a feel for the market during the day.

My database comes qtr on CD, contains about 9000 stocks, and is sortable into industries and sub-industries. I often look at these sub-industries on my screens to see how various sectors are doing during the day. I have composite graphs made up of participants in a sector I can do end of day analysis on to determine where a sector is technically. I can automate and sked end of day analysis on any or all of 9000 stocks using about 50 indicators and can write my own trading indicators or systems. I can incorporate fundamentals into screens but the fundamentals database isn't very up to date. Systems incl backtesting. I use an old 133 Mhz Pentium so testing about 1000 stocks takes about 80 min. Rich
