Casaubon,

Even though I'm a Windows on Wall Street user, I think your best value for end of day charting is probably Metastock equis.com in combination with Quotes Plus quotes-plus.com for EOD data.

QP is excellent for volume scanning. Metastock has a more versatile language than WOW for developing studies.

I evaluated TradeStation and while I love its language - best of the bunch if you like for and if's and stuff like that, as I do - I don't like its data collection facility one bit (I'm on the road a lot), and frankly, for what I use the software for it is priced out of this world.

WOW is nice in one respect - I have their real time data and I just find it damn convenient to use one charting program for EOD and real time. I actually only use QP for scanning (but it is dirt dirt cheap but no substitute for a full charting application)

FWIW.

Michael
