lets see,

for eod, there are

metastock 7, investor/rt, byte into the market, 
biocomp profit, neuroshell trader, etc.

for rt, there are
metastock rt, investor/rt, neuroshell trader pro, etc.

for new comer - our neoticker eod and neoticker rt :)

so there are tons of choices available.

I understand that in Europe there are not many
choices of realtime software and you did a good
job promoting TS over there ...

But TS is now vowed to become a single source 
platform and has triggered all level of angers 
towards this company in north america because they 
are trying to steal businesses from their current 
business partners like sp comstock, dbc signal, dtn, 
etc. Most companies working with TS no longer endorse
the usage of TS with their products.

So the chance that TS can survive is slim, as
they have to become the single source marketer 
of their product and services. And there is a 
competitor out there in the field TS is stepping
into - CyberCorp. Backed by Charles Schwab, they
are in a way better position to survive either a
price war or a technology war.

I still use TS4 as a backup thus if the company
formerly known as Omega Research is gone, I know
there will be no support and no upgrade - BUT wait
a minute! There has never been any upgrade anyway :)

PO you may want to make your neuro stuff standalone
to avoid being dragged down by TS in case they go
under.
