Have to disagree.  Take a look at what a one-man 
shop can do by looking at <A

group.  As always, the problem lies with management.

  You may be wrong.  We are not keeping enough 
  Equis people employed. While the number of employees is not under our control, 
  there are not enough Equis employees to bring this program up to 
  snuff.

    You receive a warm fuzzy feeling when you think of 
    the Equis people that you helped keep employed.  
     
    Keep your eye on the up and comers like 
    AmiBroker.  It already beats Metastock in the programming and system 
    testing areas, and if they get their act together and do the same for 
    charting it will be a real alternative to future 
    upgrades.

      Lionel,
       
      Your point is well taken. I wonder what I got 
      for that last upgrade, and what, if anything, I will get with the next 
      one.

          Sean,
           
          Sorry to say, but my modem got zapped by 
          a lightning surge, I had to reinstall Windows, and I lost my e-mail 
          files. Thus I can't give you the direct quote of what Equis said. 
          However, I'll give you my interpretation plus my opinions. You may 
          want to go directly to Equis for 
          clarification/confirmation.
           
          1. Equis said that the indicators that 
          can be downloaded from the May 2000 article were written at some later 
          time, and may not be a direct copy of what Ehlers wrote.
           
          2. The Cycle Length Indicator from the 
          May 2000 does not agree with the one that can be downloaded for the 
          March 2000 article, according to my <FONT 
          color=#000000>observations.
           
          3. The Sinewave Generator from the May 
          2000 download does not agree with the MESA Sinewave indicator that is 
          contained in the Metastock indicator list, again according to <FONT 
          color=#ff0000>my 
          observations.
           
          4. My <FONT 
          color=#000000>impression is that someone at Equis who didn't 
          understand the article did the programming. They did not talk to John 
          Ehlers about this.
           
          5. Equis said that their programmers are 
          working on other things now, are very busy, and won't be able to look 
          into this anytime soon.
           
          6. I have found two other errors in 
          Metastock's programming lately.
           
          7. My overall conclusion is that you 
          shouldn't trust any of 
          their indicators; program it yourself if possible.
           
          Hope that helps. Let me know if you learn 
          anything else.
           
          Tom

              Sinewave Generator
              I recently downloaded from the Equis 
              web site the Sinewave Generator described in John Ehlers' May, 
              2000 TASC article. When I applied it to the Sept 01 Canadian 
              Dollar contract, as well as others, I got a strange looking plot 
              that missed several obvious cycles in the price data. I sent the 
              plot to John Ehlers and he responded that there was an obvious 
              error in the Sinewave Generator. 
               
              I have just notified Equis of this 
              error.
