There's been a fair bit of "bitching" on different forums over what MS can and can't do, and a lot
of it is justified. Yet when specific code has been provided to test entry and exit on intraday
prices (aimed at EOD users) there's been very little response. In fact I don't think anybody  has
asked me about the use of the entry and exit stops in Trade Equity, as posted at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Metastockusers/message/1934 . Two Pro users that I am aware of have
been unable to run the explorations in the form presented, so a work-around has now been developed.

My concern is not for those that are happy to throw dollars at any percieved MS shortcoming, but for
those that have already spent good money on MS and yet have not been able to use it to its full
potential.
