Understandable....
It was the first implementation of DTN, maybe not so obvious for the first build
Anyway, some of the DTN bugs that you report seems to have been fixed with SP3,
for what I have read.
Some are not really bugs: Up Down volume on daily charts are not reported by the exchange.
The pertains to intraday data only.
If you want to use them , you need to build intraday bars ( length = on day expressed in minutes),
or use the activity bars.
There are probably some workaround to use Adv/Dec Issues or Adv/Dec Volume with TS2000i,
if the data are accessible to some parts of the software. I cant say because I am not using it
online and only on European market that do not provide them.
There are probably things that are true in your post, but not all of them.
I do not believe that Omega will not recognize that there are some bugs in the current version,
otherwise I cannot see why they develop service packs ( this is not only to add features but
to fix minors bugs).
This has been the case in the past with TS4, and I fear that it will be the case for any complex software like
TS2000i is.
In any case, Omega has not released a software with fatal bugs, despite of what you think
I monitor this list and the Omega beta forum, and I am well informed of the problems and the solution found,
despite of the fact that I do not use TS2000i realtime for the moment.
You can turn the problem in any sense, but this software is at this time , the most complex and powerful ever offered,
and that has passed the public test with some success, unlike other vaporware verbose competitors, that never suffered the
battlfield fire experience.
There are a lot of hardware software related issue that may explain some problems that are not reproductible by others.
Due to the wide offer now available with PC, video cards and the like, not to speak of various OS and related drivers, my opionion is
that fixing all of this cannot be done in one week ,and will be a permanent problem needing constant monitoring.
Sincerely,.
