To all MSWIN users......and I can only compare MSWIN to WOW, TC2000, and GET.....we are blessed with the ability to adjust Moving Averages by volume in MSWIN, and not in the other SW's. Richard Estes wrote a nice piece on Volume weighting on another board, and I have recently found that using the "VOL" instead of "E" (exponential) or "W" (weighted) in MA's will often (but not always) improve the signals given. For those of you who use the StochRSI's, try using "VOL" instead of another weighting factor in the formula and see if you don't like what you get a lot more. BW Chan

Sean- Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am checking out the WOW demo and have never even heard of Technifilter Plus. I'll try to locate it and look at it as well. The direction I have been leaning is MSWIN 6.5 w/Reuters for Data. That sounds like a winning combonation since: 1. I get $50 off MSWIN if I go with Reuters (cancellable at any time) 2. Unlimited data d/l's with dates going back to 1980 3. Internet access to data 4. Monthly data will be $22.45 Scanning/Filtering is going to be very important to me and from what I understand, MSWIN is going to work great in that regard as well. Comments always welcome. -= Russ =-
