I use MetaStock end of day 6.52 and it does all you want except I am not sure about extra fields like PE. I know it can be done but not sure how easy it would be to get the data into it. For the PE it would be fairly easy since the earnings would only change quarterly and the PE ratio would just be a simple function of dividing the price into the constant. The data base MetaStock uses has extra fields to input data of this sort and the indicators, screens, fileters etc are easy to program once you get the hang of it. There is a metaStock thread here at SI that I forgot to go to first so I could paste it here but everyone there is very helpful. I run many of my own formulas and scans with it and have only been using it for a few months but love it. You can also build your own expert analysis that automates reading the charts. I am still refining a few things but feel that I was dumb for not buying it sooner as I used MS excel for all my charting prior to this and it took a long time and a lot of memory to run my charts. Just my input and there may be better out there but I joke that it will be years before I find and figure out all the bells and whistles on this program since I find something new that is useful every week.
