Hi Chip, Thanks for the link... I remember running across it a while ago, but i appreciate the reminder. the big difference between tradestation and other "similar" programs is that few, if any, programs have the programming and testing capabilities of TS. In fact, that's why I bought the program, although I don't do as much system testing and building anymore. Imo, TS sucks on a lot of fronts, not the least of which are the graphical user interface, the data management functions, and a few other things. But when it comes to programming capabilities, it is near the top. Heck, TS doesn't even draw forks, without programming it to do so.... but if you can code, there's nothing you cannot do. I guess for most it's an issue of coding for TS. From what I hear, WOW is a pretty smooth program like metastock, although lacking in the system building/testing area. FWIW, talk to you later Best Regards, Frank
