I'm actually all in favor of rocking the boat, just not sinking this
particular boat. Yes, 10 hours of my time once every month or so is a
royal pain in the ass -- especially if it happens to take out a trading day
in the process -- but by all accounts, TS is still the best product of its
kind out there. Granted it is pricey and buggy, but it is also getting
better with time. TS4 was quite solid and worked well within its
limitations. If given the chance, I have no reason to doubt that OR will
eventually get TS2Ki to the same state and we'll all benefit from the
improvements over TS4. I'm far from suggesting it is perfect or that OR
is even close to being infallible, but I don't see any benefit for myself
or others in going ballistic about it. I'm in no hurry to change trading
platforms and walk away from the (by now) rather huge investment of time
and money that I've got in TS. If I thought that OR was not trying to
improve the product, I might change my position on this, but I can see
progress. -uf
