Sandy, In 1997 I purchased AIQ Trading Expert. Forgot the exact price, maybe something like $850 or so. Now, I believe you can either purchase the new version for around $1,295 or you get software free if you subscribe to their data service, for which they have several plans. By the way, if you don't subscribe to their data plan you still need to buy data from someone else. Also, subscribing to their data will allow you to get all future software upgrades and enhancements for free. Oh, by the way, their new version, 5.0, includes everything I had in their version 4.1 plus all the add-on modules that used to cost extra. However, if you don't need realtime intraday data, you may save plenty by buying their cheaper plan. Data starts at something like $59 per month. I believe I have the Silver Plan for around $79 plus some exchange fees, totalling around $90+ per month. I'm not exactly sure. Actually, I'm still on the free 30-day trial period, I believe. If you're really interested in AIQ you should probably review their thread for the past few months and then contact their sales department for more accurate info than I can provide. The thing I like most about the stuff, though, is that I have a full database of stocks on my hard-drive (thousands) and can see charts on any of them any time I like, instantly, without logging on to the net. Also, I have the stocks organized nicely by various sectors and groups, can track the sectors and groups, look at S&P 500, S&P 100, N-100, IBD group structure, or even make my own, which I've done to track the vast array of IPO's and hot internet issues. It's like having an historical database library on your own PC. Nice to be able to look at after the day is over, or anytime. And, as I said before, you can build your own trading systems, use their systems, review and customize lots of different reports to pick stocks with high relative strength, stocks making new highs or low, moving average crossover, anything you can think of. I loved it the moment I first saw it. Good luck, Bill
