Here's a fix for the trailing stop problem. If enough users complain
to Equis and stop buying their idiot upgrades that haven't fixed a bug
in the program for two years, guess what--they'll start fixing them.
Too many people get all jacked up about crap that they glue on to MS
for their next upgrade that is simply window dressing and doesn't do
anything for you. MS 9.0 is a perfect example.
If you stop sending them your money, they'll listen. Otherwise, why
should they. Because it's the right thing to do! Get real. They hear
Reuters breathing down their necks, not you. Until they hear you, the
customer removing their money from the Equis wallet, nothing is going
to get fixed.
They used to fix all the known bugs with interim releases. They don't
do that anymore. It costs money, and you and your problems don't.
I've got a list of dozens of things in MS that don't work properly.
Equis has known about most of them for at least two years, and
somethngs they've known about them for three years. You know how many
have been fixed. I do--none! Who's fault is that?
It's time for all the users to take responsibility for fixing the
problems with MS. How to do you do that? By getting very vocal and
telling Equis, it's either fix the problems or hello AmiBroker.
