I feel it's pretty hard to figure out the target price. Like for tivo, Smith barney's target is 7.75. I'd like to set my target to 7.5. But the short term resistence is about 7.00. So is that wise to sell half at that price?

Ya. The data format conversion is a big issue. If everyday we have to convert it for over 30 times(only about 260 symbols each time) That's not good. I guess if we know the details of the two formats, making a conversion software shouldn't be that difficult.

at (removed by Moderator) I found the Metastock API supports 2000 securities per folder. Why TC cannot do that with the Export feature? MetaStock doesn't give TC permissions to do that? I found an alternative solution: use Convert2MetaStock from (removed by Moderator). Since TC can export all to an ASCII file, we can use Convert2MetaStock to convert that to the metastock file. This works theoretically, but I never tried it. Very glad to hear from somebody who has the actual experience.

I agree with you. TC has lots of nice staff and it's also a data source. I might subscribe for TC and also purchase a Metastock end-of-day since that supports TC data. so I get both systems working!
I am still not clear of one thing: why most of the softwares don't support the free data source like yahoo or ameritrade? while free software like Medved QuoteTracker supports those very well without a problem.

craig,
Thanks for your reply. Actually I am in my Trial period and I have viewed all the beginners' videos.
And I am using it. It's good. But I don't see Gann lines and the PCF functions are not strong enough, I think.
I am also not familliar with others like MetaStock, TradingExpertPro or ELWAVE. That's why I post this
for help. Glad to hear from users who are familliar with more then one of these softwares and glad to see
a detailed comparison regarding technical analysis and scaning features.

I am a newbie here. Checked out the top 10 software list at Traders.com. Some like MetaStock, TradingExpertPro and ELWave are pretty interesting. They all have the Gann Lines while Telechart doesn't have. How do you compare Telechart to those softwares? I am considering which to subscribe. Also, why all of these vendors don't use free data like from brokers or yahoo for end-of-day data?
Thanks in advance,
Optiontrier
