Brian,
This would seem to argue for staying with TradeStation, because it is
backed by the bigger company - exactly my point - UNLESS the other company
shows enough of an advantage to warrant the risk in switching.
Will this new company be able to stay in business, and will it be able to
continue to provide product support even if it does not make enough money
from sales to keep operating?
As to Mark's point, that Bob makes his money trading, that is (or should
be, I think) irrelevant, because any good business keeps itself separate
from personal funds, and measures its viability on its own receipts. For
real now, the business could fold and Bob continue to make millions
trading. He is not doing this as a charity you know!
