You may even zoom in on the most actively traded options.
QuoteCenter Enhancements
QuoteCenter, first introduced in MetaStock 17, has become the industry standard for list administration. MetaStock 18 includes a new Gainers/Losers tab that allows you to check how your account or list is performing at a glance. Furthermore, you may alter the chart settings from your Power Console, making it even easier to get everything just right. It will now share the theme settings with OptionScope as wel

To top it all off, we ensured that all indicator values now appear in the title bar as well.
