A thought for the list,
I can not agree more! This one message put more of my thoughts into one
place than all the words of all the 'experienced', 'world weary' hacks to
date.
Thank you, Andy, for taking a stand.
Let us go forward from here with a positive, productive, constructive
attitude. If you find yourself feeling pissy then, please, just put a cork
in it, at least until you have thought it over for a day or three.

...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.

>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.
