I received my 2.0 yesterday, but only had a short time to look at it. Unfortunately, I have some questions, which I have sent off to ParTech. They are setting up a web site at parityplus.com and you can email them at info@parityplus.com. Paul has an address at prickert@parityplus.com. Here is what I emailed them last night. I have not received a reply yet, of course. More testing to come:
I received my copy of Parity Plus 2.0 today. A few problems...
1.) The AD() indicator doesn't always work. It seems that if the
Volume is low when the indicator crosses the zero line, the indicator
goes to zero and stays there. Check out ANGLY, BIGE, CAFE, CBJ, GLDFY,
and RIC as examples. Two hundred days worth of ASCII data is what I am
using (Date, high, low, close, volume). The same data files do not
display this problem in Parity Plus 1.5.
2.) When a group of securities are analyzed, they display normally and
as expected when first calculated. When you go back and forward to
redisplay charts held in memory, however, they draw and then immediately
redraw each chart as it is displayed. Very distracting...
3.) It takes twice as long to calculate and display a chart in 2.0 than
it does in 1.5. I hope this isn't progress... I am using a Gateway
2000 386/33 with 387 and 16 MB Ram running Windows95.
4.) Parity Plus 2.0 started up with the tool bar on the left of the
screen. I prefer it on the right, so I used Options/Tool Bar Options to
change it to the right. No problem, fairly intuitive. However, when
the program is closed and reopened, the tool bar reappears on the left
side. It took me quite a while, and a fair amount of aggrivation to
find Options/Chart Preferences/Diplay & Data Preferences/Tool Bar
Options, and then go back one screen and do a Save To File in order to
get the change to stick. Not very intuitive...
It took me about two hours to find these problems. Not very
encouraging... |
