OM and omegites:
Very often, there is a large gray area of individual assessment that lies
between an unethical decision and a one based upon poor judgement. Also,
poor judgement is often rooted in a lack of information. Only a very few
individuals would have all the information necessary to make the kind of
decision that you are proposing. And let's face the facts- this is not a
matter of life and death- it's a software package and I don't see any
conspiracy or coverup that would take this issue into the unethical arena.
I have been surprised and shocked, actually, seeing the level of anger
leveled against Omega Research on this forum. I really like TradeStation 4
and am happy to have had the use of this product for many yrs. I have
hesitated to switch to ts5 for fear of rocking the boat. I get what I need
out of ts4 and expect that most users do. I would only like to suggest that
constructive expressions are much more useful to all than the angry tirades
by some. My other recourse is to block the senders of tirades so that I can
make the list a bit more positive for myself.
Good trading (that's why we use TS, right?)

These are settled principles of ethics.
