Hi there, could anyone tell me what's the difference betweem buying MS10 EOD at $499 vs taking on a monthly or annual subsciption?
Also, does MS10 have an option to view my interface, templates, charts web- based so that I can access my stuff from home or the office?
thanks! stanley

hey stanley..... the monthly/yearly deal includes a data plan.... if buying at 499 , one would still need some sort of data source.... yahoo is free, along with several others but those will be cumbersome, at first, if you plan using meta much..... once you learn the ropes , yahoo might suffice....
more than likely you'll fare better with reuters, qc , esignal or some such provider..... they all have their pro's and con's....
yes, in a sense its possible to make your templates , charts, layouts and such web based but odds are it would be far easier to just carry things back and forth on one of the little bitty i/o magic type drives or just a cd.... you'll need meta at both locations which is easy enough..... h

hey there, thanks for the reply. which data provider would you reckon would be the most cost effective if i just wanted a handful of markets, of my choice? I would rather not buy an entire data suite that incorporates data from too many markets, most of which i'm not even interested in.
having meta at home is not a problem, is having meta in the office that's a pain, IT won't let us download or install anything, hence the question about whether it's possible to go web based... is there such a solution?
thanks much!

hey stanley..... in my mind the most cost effective would be either reuters or esignal if your here in the states.... most all providers have a minimum plan which still will contain far more than most of us will ever look at....
kinda had a feeling 'it' restrictions were the reason behind the web based question.... you would need to have the meta program at both places..... meta does have a web based java version, but it by no means would achieve your goal.....
dell might be a possible solution there.... it's fixin to be where if ya buy an ink cartridge, they'll throw in a laptop for free.......h

Regarding "web" access of your Metastock.
You could always use a program such as VNC (www.realvnc.com) to directly access your home PC's desktop from the office. All you need is one folder on your office PC (eg. on your desktop) that has the VNC program in it - no installation actually required.
So Metastock runs on your home PC and you view the screen over the internet.
On the other hand, if you were able to run Metastock on your office PC, make sure that both your Metastock licence and your data vendor licence allows you to operate at both locations.
Cheers,
Richard.

Richard, that's very good advice; the various free implementations of VNC are quite useful and I use VNC every day - it's running right now as a matter of fact, giving me visibility to my company's network from home. If you have a decent broadband connection the experience is almost as good as being right there. I used to use RealVNC, but have since switched to UltraVNC for its improved performance and extra-useful features such as chat and direct file transfer. VNC can be a bear to set up at times if you have firewalls and routers to contend with, but once set up it's pretty bulletproof and reliable. It's gotten to the point that I haven't fooled with it in so long I've gotten rusty and keep forgetting some crucial port-forwarding or something that needs to be done for a new installation. And as long as I've got you, kudos and many thanks for your ATR Chandelier Stop implementation for MS - in addition to getting it running I learned more useful concepts by understanding the logic behind it - I ended up studying ATR and stops in general more thoroughly.
