Mark,
I purchased the TW too - mostly because trusting your
claim that it will keep improving.
Then got so pissed that finally gunning to polish and
release our in-house tools to the public :)
In the software business, it is not a matter of
create, sell and walk away. It is a long term
relationship issue that makes a product shine and
working the way the customers like.
The OSDN has tons of trading apps projects in
development. None of them are completed. None of
them are ready for the real world. In a communism
environment (software source code for free!) people
tend to do the next best thing - strike for power
and control, instead of money. Thus the reason
of so many trading platform projects.
I do sympathize what may have happened to you.
But as a customer of TW I have to say I was very
upset too. But this time round I will not put my
effort into a product created by someone else who
do not trade day-in day-out with the product.
Omega may not be the best company around. But
they did fill the need at a point in time in the past.
Anyhow, hope your open source project will
eventually result in something.
All the best.
