I agree, the charting part of QP is marginal, but its adequate for finding basic chart 
patterns.  If I really want to look at something, I do have Metastock and can export 
the data and use that to look at the charts.  But the chart limitations shouldn't 
discourage anyone who needs a data provider from checking out Quotes Plus.

(I don't know what's up with Equis (Metastock), but I don't think they have done as 
much as they could with their product, I don't think they've displayed a lot of 
creativity in the last few years.  Its good, but there are some obvious improvements 
they could make)
