There aren't many daytrading tools for the Mac, although my personal opinion is that ProTA is the best Technical Analysis program for the mony for PC or Mac. I have Metastock for the PC, and only use it for the optimization tool. The Neural net programs are susbtantially better just in terms of technical indicators and speed, but again, I do not use them for daytrading. My personal opinion is that one shouldn't rely on TA tools intraday, but rather use them to screen for stocks and use basic trendline, momentum, gap and price/volume trading strategies to place the trade - but that is just my opinion. I have some screenshots of ProTA in acytion on my website at fundpilot.net (under the stocks section, for specific stocks) as well as some filters. lastshadow

elepet, have you looked into Linnsoft's 'Investor/Real Time'? The version 4.6 has trading systems, backtesting, etc., and accepts live data feeds from several vendors. You can check out the features at their web site: www.linnsoft.com I've used I/RT for around three years now, have very little problem with it, and find they have great tech support and frequent upgrades. The current version even has capabilities for IRC Chat and Level II displays within the program. I think I/RT gets too little exposure on the TA discussion boards. It's a tremendous product.
