Scott, your MyTrack information is very helpful. Re your Investor RT and TradingExpert Pro questions, I can't compare them to Q Charts, but I've come across the American Association for Individual Investors, aaii.com , who publish The Individual Investor's Guide to Computerized Investing online and in book form. Page 10-11 reviews Investor RT: it gets 4 on a 5 point scale for Performance, Usefulness, Documentation, Ease of Use, and Value. Some other comments-I don't understand all of the terms so I'm selecting out what I hope may be useful to you (if you can't access it or want more information I'll be glad to provide it): "unique in that it is the only cross-platform technical analysis application discussed here: it can run on Windows 95/98, and NT as well as Power Macintosh systems." "offers bar, candlestick, connected-line and continuous-line formats. Each charting window can contain multiple panes in which multiple securities or technical indicators can be plotted." "drag and drop functionality"; "With its slide show feature, Investor RT can run a series of symbols through any chart window. You can specify the length of the pause between each slide and sit back and let the program do the rest."; "spreadsheet portfolio management"; "For the most part Investor RT is a quality technical analysis program. Its only drawback is that, compared to other programs of similar price, it is lacking more advanced capabilities such as pre-installed trading systems and backtesting, thereby reducing both the usefulness and value ratings."
