I have been following tradelab on and off for the last six months. The
company made a decision awhile ago to stop promoting tradelab until it
actually was a product for sale. Apparently there was so much interest that
the company was overwhelmed in answering daily questions about it and could
not make headway in finalizing the product. The big guns of the company
dropped off the tradelab list for the same reason - to work on the product
instead of talking about it. Things were very quiet for awhile.
Tradelab is currently in beta testing. They took the approach of having beta
testers pay them for the privilage of testing the product. There was a bit
of a stink about that, but they must have garnered enough people to proceed.
In hindsite, I can say that at least they were being very honest in telling
these first users that they were beta testers. Unlike many other vendors who
release a product and wait for the initial customers to tell them what the
problems are - and I am not picking on Omega here because this seems to be
the norm in the software industry - and then charge for the upgrades that
fix these problems.
If tradelab comes out as the product promised it should give TS a run for
the money, but only if they include the ela transfer module as part of the
initial package. Personally, I just can not see people abandoning all the
work in custom indicators and systems that they have invested in TS - no
matter how ticked off they with Omega. I also do not anticipate in seeing
tradelab hit the market until it is a fully workable product - from what I
have seen these guys learn from other peoples mistakes.
