I emailed MetaStock about this and they said Windows 98 changed something and they do not have a quick fix or patch, would have to wait for Window 98 version. The problem was when you point at a chart the data window opens and displays the Close etc that day funky.

Feline Woman: Wall Street Access has ridiculous pricing. $45, who are they kidding? With real time Level II data you can save yourself that 1/16 they rave about. And the same with options. Do yourself a favor and get an account with Brown&Co. 5 Bucks for market / 10 bucks for limit up to 5000 shares. Option trades: $15 + 1.50 up to 30 contracts... $15 + 1.75 for 30 contracts and over. Placing an order with a broker at Brown you can ask who the Market Maker working your order will be (They use NITE or MASH). If you go limit you can almost always slice the spread by a teenie and become the bid... or you can beat the best bid with size (go 1100 vs. the usual 1000). I do this over and over. At 10 bucks a limit order you can do two round trips for less than one side of a single trade at Wall Street Access. I'm using Signal Online and will be picking up MetaStock Professional soon for the current user discount. But really, Brown truly is a good deal for superior service. I always get good fills with them, and they always pick up the phone on the first few rings. Regards, --spaw--
