WoW & OR are completing their move to the online software 
business. OR is also merging with an online trading co. (YA 
dot.com).
 
WoW.com is the current marketing priority of the new 
company. The Supercharts development has been dropped since quite a long time : 
there will no SC 2000i. All advertisements for the TradeStation 2000i client 
product line have been stopped too (see TASC and Edgard ao).
 
OR is working at the online version of 
TradeStation, TradeStation.com (YA dot.com), for the professional. No 
release date was provided yet.
 
The plan is : ONLINE SERVICES (MONTHLY) SUBSCRIPTIONS 
will replace the licence fees business.
 
Alain.

  I thought that Windows on Wall Street was bought 
  by Omega and promptly discontinued. I spoke with Omega recently and was told 
  that they are only promoting their high end software. They are not promoting 
  SuperCharts anymore.  WOW was very similar to Metastock, but no tech 
  support and when I phoned I had to leave a message on an answer machine ( 
  this even beats Omega's reputation for tech support).

    Theo I have been going over similar thoughts you are. 
    I currently use IQCharts, which is non MS, and of the stapshot variety 
    real time.  It has been very good for about $35 per month.

    I am considering going back with Signal, having subscribed to them, off 
    and on, over the last 5 years. 
    Several brokers have a Signal fee rebate program so that as long as you 
    make so many monthly transactions with them (as few as 5 I think), the 
    Signal fee is minimal.  Although Signal man still supply only a 50 
    ticker capacity with their minimum acct, you might like the fact that, if 
    your brokerage account is active enough, your RT charts will be almost 
    free.  You may have to speak to a Signal sales person, to learn which 
    brokers offer what. 
    Look into it, and let me know what you think.  I have been 
    procrastinating, but hope to go back with Signal soon....maybe my Dreyfus 
    account will still qualify for a rebate.  Signal often offers a one 
    month free introduction period at shows and seminars.

    I have friends who swear by WindowsOnWallstreet.  They offer a one 
    or two week try, but I have never cared to take the trouble to look.  
    There is always much to relearn with new software.
