I am on about 5-10 email lists and bulletin boards:
one for foosball (Tornado), one for porn webmaster (YNOT), one for dog resue (KerryBlue), one for trading (Omega) etc etc
and on EVERY list, people want to KILL THE COMPANY, or KILL THE LIST OWNER ...it just seems to be a freak thing about human psychology. This TradeStation hatred is found in some form or other on every list I belong to...wierdest crap I have ever seen.
1. No own put a gun to your head to BUY tradestation
2. Bill Cruz is not the devil, he is trying to make a good product
3. Omega can't make everyone happy
4. If they suck so bad, go and by
METASTOCK
BEHOLD!
GET
BACKTEST WIZARD
or one other of the 300 programs available at
http://www.traders.com/Documentation/Survey/98Softwr.html#list
5. OMEGA doesn't OWE anyone an upgrade....and when the upgrade comes out, odds are that you are not going to find the holy grail system there either!
6. If TradeLab comes out, and they are dumb enough to have an email list, it is 100% certain that people will scream about that product as been as crappy, or crappier than TradeStation.
7. If you think this type of programming is so easy, why don't you just pay a programmer to whip together some custom code for you? I'll tell you why...to pay a software house to do TradeStation from the ground up would be $250,000-$500,000 or more. This is complex programming
8. I hate to tell you, but listening to customer needs does not make a strong company....strong marketing makes a rich company. Windows vs. Mac, VHS vs. Beta, McDonalds vs. Burger King ...and a million other examples...where one product emerges to the top of the heap through marketing efforts. Pick up a copy of IBD and their are 2-three Omega ads a day. So I don't think Omega is going to disappear anytime soon. They have a good product, and they are very good at marketing it.
I like Tradestation
