Charting Accuracy

Hey Remo (and fellow MetaStock fans!)

It looks like the 2-month deadline deal finished on Sept 27 or thereabouts... So my attempt at the end of september only got me a month.

I got in touch with MetaStock, and they were very good I have to say.

We reached a compromise deal where by I get a four month trial for $250.

If I'm not happy after that I can walk away. Hopefully this will give me some time really test-drive the beast, because right, I've only had a cursory look (and mostly from the Reuters side).

Anyway, all in all, top class service.

Hi Libero
Get in touch with them.
If you have the metastock pro then there is no need for the fx data. Its included.(i think) i get confused with there products as well.They have too much choice so can get confusing.
MetaStock XENITH European, Middle Eastern, & African Data: $1440.00 this is the one for you i think.
The last one im not sure why thats there for.

Make certain you get the 2 months free deal and make certain you cancel the package before the expiry as they will charge you. They are really good on customer service so just give them a ring.
If your lucky then they may offer another deal if you take it up like buy 1 month and get 3 months.

They do have level 2 for the uk but i would not recommend it. Level 2 is best used on the US Markets as they have a lot more info for the US markets.

I see you have discovered xenith...its amazing. This alone is worth the $1440 subscription charge a year for metastock pro which will include reuters news and all. Its one hell of a platform and very additive.Its more powerful than people actually realize. You have probably just touched the tip of what it can do.

Metastock charting is as powerful as well but i only use it for simple charting. There is a lot to this as well and more than people actually realize.Plenty of systems on there and you can buy loads of add ons to improve it. All the big technical authors have an add on for metastock.

Any way
play around with it ,im sure you will find new things that im nor aware of Let me know if you find any thing useful

Hi Remo,

Not sure I should get in touch with MetaStock, but I received this in an e-mail:

Our records indicate that your annual subscription to one or more of MetaStock’s products is nearing its annual renewal date.
On November 1, 2013, your subscription(s) to the following product(s) will automatically renew at the listed price:
MetaStock XENITH FX Data: $950.00
MetaStock XENITH European, Middle Eastern, & African Data: $1440.00
MetaStock XENITH Worldwide Futures, Commodities, & Derivatives Data (Discounted): $720.00

I signed up before the offer period ended, and not sure if I signed up for all this lot as I specifically copied your settings ...

Anyway, I'm sure if I get in touch with them they'll sorted it out.

Now, I've barely had a chance to tinker with MetaStock, but that Reuters platform....Wow.

I mean I've neglected everything I'm supposed to do (apart from keeping up my impeccable hygiene of course! ), but seriously, really loving this platform!!!

It is far too addictive... I wonder if there's DMA / L2 functionality?

Superb stuff... Cheers Remo!

Done.

With Caveats However.... Installation warnings. I'm on a Unix platform running a hardened native 64-bit version of windows, with 64-bit software, etc etc - but I'm guessing that MetaStock prefers a 32-bit vanilla OS, judging by the installer warnings.

Also, traffic runs through a different port to 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS), and this might give me a headache at work. Let's see if there's a solution.

Hopefully it should be fine. I just booted it up, and it is running ok, it reminds me of Bloomberg! I've attached a screen shot of .... Yep, GLENCORE!

I've got a three-screen (27" flanked by 2 x 24" rotated vertically) set up at work and at home, so I wonder if this program is accommodating in that regard?

Already lamenting the lack of time to really get under the hood of this program, even with 2 months gratis, the test is to find the time to really use it.

Lots to experiment with... Anyway, let's see I'll get on, and I'll report back in the afternoon as I start work at 5am tomorrow!


Once again Remo (and Ronnie!), thank you both for sorting out this amazing deal.

p.s. Weird, I've got myself a trial demo of ProRealTime recently, and it looks like a neat package too. The Agony of Choice.

Just to add to this, when you take out MetaStock Pro you have access to every share known to man. What you are paying for is the exchanges that provide live prices otherwise if you don't pay then it would be delayed by 15 mins but you still have access to every single share,currency, commodity etc.

Far as I'm aware F/X is included when you take out MetaStock Pro so you don't need to add it on.
If your uncertain about anything just ask them on the live help desk as they are very helpful, if they are not just let us know as we have other contacts.
