hey lim..... when i first looked at
power pivots it seemed to be very complex but just as useful..... and a year later it's a certain..... for me, trading is easier with the wind at my back...... power pivots helps monitoring each time frame which keeps me betting on the larger trend and not against it........
its very complex though..... as you probably know, henry here on the forum is probably one of the worlds most adept at using/understanding it......
i'll be lookin at dr elders deal next week..... walter's is likely to take a few days and i'll sort it out this weekend.....
john murphys chart pattern recognition pluggin is probably the only of its type available for metastock..... there are some free sites where you can draw any sort of shape or pattern and the site will return stocks whose charts are close matches.... patterns have also interested me.....
have yet to decide which is best..... and of course, as we all trade differently, my choice for best might not be someone else's....... h
