It's fairly clear that Omega products are unstable, fragile, backward
applications.  From what I've been able to gather from reading this list,
Tradestation only recently went 32-bit.  Many of the indicators are
flat-out incorrect and there are major deficiencies in Tradestation's
design and functionality (like the bouncing ticks problem, the inability
of Tradestation to handle large tick numbers, mysterious system
crashes, etc).

Instead of redesigning the products to be Y2K complient,
use an open data server based on TCP/IP stacks and fix many of its
killer faults... we got video clips of DeMark and Williams giving us
advice on how to trade.  Slick but superficial.

And to top it off, Omega still uses a non-open data server which is poorly
designed and implemented as evidenced by its performance.

The many misfeatures of Tradestation are why I never upgraded from
Supercharts to Tradestation.  Getting the system editor plus all of these
hassles wasn't worth $1,500 to me.

Omega products command a premium price for its programmable systems and
backtesting capabilities but the company will loose its edge and clientel
as upstarts (like TradeLab) become professional and viable products, so
I'm waiting until a product arrives that I can buy AT MY PRICE... not
Omega's.
