learning a new programming language

bingo, you got it!

the beauty of tradelab is that you're not tied into a "niche" language
like el, thus more resources are available for learning the language
or hire others to do the programming for you. i can easily contract
vb/vc++ programmers in my immediate area for complex systems
development than i can now with el. most of the simple stuff i'll
program myself like i've done in the past with el. 

the downside is that traders used to el will have to learn a new
language. but from what i've seen already with my vb6 installation,
the transition should go smoothly.

the question i have is: if ts 5 and tl both support active x / ole,
then how will this feature help those of us running vb6 compiled
trading programs under tl and wanting to run them under ts5? ie, can
we run those same vb programs under ts5?

i look forward to the day when sir fuzzy runs under tl. really!

Easy Language is not a mainstream programming language, but a specific
one. If Omega has, say 80,000 customers, only a few percent really use
the language
on a regular basis. Maybe less than 10,000, in my opinion.

Considering this, it's difficult to write a book like you could do for
VB, C, when potential readers are 100 times ore more.

Arthur Putt has written two EL books , and it could be interesting to
knwo how many copies he has sold.
 
As Easy Language is Pascal in fact, you could maybe consider to buy
some books on this language that is the closest to EL, specific TS
functions excluded.

...Who knows ?
I'll probably have a look on TradeLab some day.
Unless what you could believe, I'm not a 100% TradeStation
unconditional. 97.5% (*) is enough and left some room to other
products, if they can bring
something to me.
 
*) percent subject to change with TS5.
