Howard, ok so your friend bill cruz in new york impressed you with all the
eye candy, but failed to run it on real time data! we are talking real time
problems, not mutual fund eom (thats end of month) day kinda stuff. Below
is the private mail I got less the signature from one of the beta testers,
its completely opposite of your pals comments. Maybe you would like to read
it this time...I have received mail from many, many beta testers confirming
many of the same points..but hey I still give the thing a MUST BUY BECAUSE
ITS PRETTY RATING!
I expect most all who switch will be be very unhappy and many will want to
go back to 4.0. Here are some of the problems you may encounter. The server
now uses your system clock for time stamping incoming data. Change your
system clock accidentally and you will mutilate your tick data. Getting
charts to display for the correct trading hours is not easy. You must not
only have your clock, but also your timezone set correctly, otherwise
charts do not display correctly. 4.0 would at least display the entire
trading period even if the times were off, but the new program doesn't.
Also times in the quote page are in GMT and I do not see any place to fix
this. You ***CANNOT SEE*** your alerts on a quote page anymore! They are
now hidden in a stupid 'tool tip' type pop-up which you only see when you
move the mouse over a cell. If you love going through lots of mouse clicks
and dialog boxes to do anything then this program is for you. Editing bad
ticks is a nightmare - don't even ask. This program makes 4.0 feel like a
ferrari. Its a dog on 64 megs, so plan on getting the fastest machine you
can find and all the memory you can afford. Things take a long time to
happen and I have crashed many times by just clicking on something, or even
trying to shut it down. Crashes mean rebooting the entire machine. I have
many indicators which worked fine in 4.0 which run, but which no longer
work correctly in this program. I have ascii data files which load fine in
4.0 but the same file displays incorrect bar data in this program. What is
COM and how many of you know how to use it ? Maybe third party developers
will like this program but I hate it.
>you must be running the very firs beta they sent out.
you dont pay attention to what i post do you, i said i am looking at final
release canidate!
>A good friend of mine is a Beta Tester and I forwarded him your email, and
I went to the presentation in NewYork and saw ts 5 myself. Here is a list
of the things you posted before with my friends answers:
if he is a good freind of yours and he is not on this list then he must be
bill cruz..besides you saw no REAL TIME DID YOU? NO YOU DIDNT!
>If you load a symbol that is not being collected by mistake it will take
the entire system down and you must reboot
>- Never happened to anyone I know
then you dont know but the one beta tester named bill cruz..
>When you crash, you must reboot there is no other way - completely false
statement

>The quote screen is very disappointing and
>- How is it dissapointing?

>the name of the signals on a system have to appear on the chart or not be
seen at all.
>- False
well bull crap where is the system names in the system results then? tell
me i wanna know?
>when you paste a large ela in it randomly ranks the indicators and systems
in a jumbled mess.
>- FALSE, the editor lets you sort studies any way you want
i will get a screen shot to show you this one, it is obvious you know
nothing of the program and your buddy must have his beta still in the box
and reading the 8 page ads instead.
>If you fix the tick data you haven't fixed all the time frames of data like
the old ts 4 does - FALSE. it fixes ALL the time frames when you fix a tick
Editing bad ticks is a nightmare - don't even ask.
