Uh - any reason you are not asking the author of the new service instead of
us dummies ?
These are really things we'd all like to know.....and so would Omega's
competitors.
Doubtful you'll get all of the answers until the launch date.

> 2. Will TradeStation.com interact with TS2Ki?

> add-ons, like we currently can with TS2Ki?
>
> 7. Will TradeStation.com be similar to WindowsOnWallStreet in
> that there is
> "significant" code that must be installed on the users system (as
> opposed to
> a pure web interface).
>
> 8. When is TradeStation.com supposed to be available?
>
> 9. How much will the monthly subscription fees cost?
>
> 10. Will these questions be answered at OmegaWorld 2000 next month?
