TRIN: Anybody got a way to compute TRIN (Arms Index) on Metastock? X.NASD-A, X.NASD-D, X.NYSE-A, and X.NYSE-D give the number of advancing and declining stocks, but how can advancing and declining volume, which is also needed, be obtained? TIA.

Hello Lee and others Just got my copy of Metastock 8.0 - a couple of questions if I may First, my machine is an AMD Athlon (Firebird? ThunderBird?) 1.1G, 128M RAM, 40G HD. When I installed MS 8.0, it prompted me to upgrade to IE 6.0 Now my computer has really slowed down a LOT - when I ask IE to open when MS is already open, it literally takes a minute. Even when MS isn't running, it's acting weird. (a technical term). Not used to this!! :) Is MS a bad resources hog and if so, must I upgrade RAM, or the processor? Also, I can no longer click on html text that appears in emails - when I do, an Explorer window tries to open, but just sits there, sort of see-through (I can see my in-box but the borders of the IE window appear). Forgive me, not a computer expert. Second, re: building my database, I want my data to reside on my machine, would rather not use Data on Demand. I looked at the overwhelming list of indices available, and started scrolling through them, highlighting the ones I thought I wanted, but I quit at the letter B - I play guitar for a living and my hand and forearm was starting to hurt from holding the mouse for that long. At 38, I thank God for no tendonitis but I try to be careful :) Is there any way that I can get a 'canned' set of indices, (i.e. the major US and international stock markets and the i.e. top 25 most watched industry groups) into a new folder quick and easy? Or must I first figure out the symbols for the indicies I want then go through and manually add them to my new 'indices' folder? Hope this last question is clear. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help with these issues. Nikku
