Wake up and smell the coffee. There are a few of us who have dealt with
Omega a long time and even helped Phil put together the list of bugs. This
is not bashing. It is the truth. Just because you haven't discovered
that system results are not reproducable realtime or that the server loses
ticks doesn't mean others haven't found this out. Pride goeth before a
fall and some of us are just waiting for Omega to fall. 

You might be a little more sensitive if your livelihood depended on
software like this. How about permanent passwords that are not permanent?
Serious traders have developed their own software. One theory is that the
installed database is largely served by DBC and now that DBC is on the
Board of Omega it is just a matter of time before DBC buys them. There
goes customer service.

My gripe goes back to 1991 when I was promised all of the features of the
DOS product, System Writer Plus in the Windows version. We are still not
there. It is really horrifying to think that this program still doesnot
have all of the features of a program last updated in 1987!

BTW, you might want to ask yourself how far the fraud goes. Can you tell
me how Tradestation\DTN wins the award from TASC for best institutional
trading software when it wasn't even available at the time of the survey?
You couldn't even buy\lease it from DTN. I tried! Advertizing revenue can
work wonders!
