Re: Software Testing Team; Beta testing

I looked into Beta testing several years back. The trouble is, if you are a 
pro trader, you will not use the Beta in real time....If you are making a 
living trading, why in the world are you going to risk profits on unproven 
crash prone software? Even PO, who makes at least part of his living selling 
TS2K, admits he is not willing to risk using TS2K in real time.

If you were ever brave enough to try a fresh TS upgrade on the first release 
you know they rarely even get the symbol universe right. I've seen errors in 
stuff like the Dow. This tells me NO actual traders are in the Beta pool.
