Comparing investment software packages

I am trying to find a list of Investment packages which offer a rich scanning feature.

Attributes I'd like to see in the package:
1. Excellent scanning
2. TA/Charting features w/many indicators supported
3. Reliable/timely data +historical
4. Reasonable price

Am I asking for too much in a single package? :^)

I am aware of Quotes Plus, TC2000, and MetaStock. Are there others that I should be considering? MetaStock looks VERY good to me, but I still have some questions about it, like: Can you only get data using "The Downloader"? and/or what is the cheapest data service to use with it? Does it provide news/announcement information?

Any thoughts/ideas are welcome.

Thanks!

Good job on the tester formula:

stoch(12,3)<36 and cross(stoch(12,3),mov(stoch(12,3),6,w))

stoch(12,3)>52 and cross(mov(stoch(12,3),3,w),stoch(12,3)) or
mov(stoch(12,3),3,w)>55

Seems to work very well with no changes needed.

bye for now,

Ed
