A large screen or multiple monitors work best to exploit all the capability provided here. Going in another direction, MetaStock 6.5 allows you to save your charts as HTML documents, which is a nice convenience if you're publishing electronically. Technical and Online Support Not on the Web site but in the help function is a thoroughly indexed and cross-indexed manual, which includes some formulas, parameters and brief interpretations of most of the indicators in MetaStock 6.5. I found the indexed help tremendously helpful but often wished for some elaboration. The heavily hypertexted online manual will easily get users to their information.
Customer support continues to be as strong as it always has been, both by voice and E-mail.
Within the program itself, help buttons are everywhere. The entire book is available on the Web site, so you can find explanations of the indicators you run across, from the popular to the obscure. The book must not have been updated since MetaStock 6.5 was released, because the new indicators in 6.5 aren't described in the book. In addition, the program fully exploits the operating system's abilities to interface with other programs such as browsers and Microsoft Excel. Saving layouts of charts can be a little tricky.
