RE: Indicators and Spreads: Global Server API

I know everyone is interested in this......but it can't be done "right"
unless Omega releases the vital GLobal Server API so that spreads can be
calculated at the data server level and written to the data repository and
then treated like DATA1 in the indicators and signals.

You can only trade DATA1.....if you plot (CLOSE OF DATA1 - CLOSE OF DATA2)
you can't trade the delta......

your technique at least allows HISTORICAL-ONLY backtesting of spread
strategies.

TRADE STATION HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR DERIVATIVES STRATEGIES IN REAL-TIME.
OMEGA'S LICENSING RESTRICTIONS WILL NOT ALLOW IT !!

IT'S NOT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM, IT'S A LEGAL, LICENSING PROBLEM.
