I'm letting my data feed drop because I can no longer justify the 300 or 400 dollars or whatever I was paying a year for all that data when I'm not even trading anymore. I'm going to miss playing with all those charts in Metastock and making my own indicators. Does anyone know if the 100 dollar a year basic subscription at stockcharts would allow me to input any sort of formulas to create my own indicators?

Forget basic charts, they are too small and crappy, you'll be better off with free charts at Prophet and besides you can't create your own indicators. You might want to download free quotes from Yahoo, Goggle or whatever charting service your broker uses and covert it to Metastock. If you want to follow just indexes and a few stocks, this shouldn't be too much of a chore.

You can also use quotetracker software which is about 60 bucks a year.

I'm looking into playing around with this. You can enter formulae.
