    Been running metastock for some months, and just confirmed a problem, which by the way I had with an earlier stock charting program called Sharechart.

    Symptom.
    Open a chart in metastock for any index or stock.
    Draw a support line at a level, say 11,000 on the Dow.
    Now use the + and - (zoom in and out) buttons in Metastock.
    The support line is NOT maintained at 11,000.
    It moves all over the place, even disappears.

    I have done EXACTLY the same on my Windows backup DELL PC and the problem does not happen.

    There seems to be a problem with drawing graphics under Parallels.
    Can anyone confirm, or provide a solution? esp. someone from Parallels?

    Wondering if Parallels staff will give me some feedback?

    I am wondering if Parallels will give me some feedback on this problem I noted with metastock and other stock charting software? ... this is a critical tool for me and I need to make a decision about what to do in the next few days.

    Parallels 1, 2, and 3 have demonstrated the same or similar bugs.

    I really thought it was resolved ... but no.
    It is easy to recreate, and does NOT occur on a native Windows system.

    Please help or tell me to give up ... at least I will know not to wait any longer.

    Hello Lehmachr,

    We have not tested Metastock yet so I can not confirm or provide a solution right now.
    Could you please give a link for we could download demo?
    We'll try to reproduce the issue in-house.

    Best regards,

    Metastock has the bug after all

    Further analysis reveals that it is Metastock with a bug.
    (relates to choices used when overlaying ATR on a chart)
    Parallels is off the hook, which is good and makes me feel better about my choice. :)

    Metastock 11

    I'm trying to run Metastock 11 (monthly lease version) on Parallels Desktop 4.0, but it fails when I try to enter the serial number. Is anyone on MS 11 and working successfully?
