data on demand is not crashing... that's bs.
dynastore... the reason why i don't mess with that is that i would have
to buy too much aspirine for my headaches... qcharts... i am bored...
what is it... qcharts now 79 bucks a month? why the hell would you want
to mess with qcharts/dynastore and ts 4.0 when you can get tradestation
pro for $99 a month... it think the cliche is "stuck on the evolutionary
ladder"
( dynastore was initially designed by russkies so that
they could run reuters on 4.0 in eastern europe... then our american
fellow junkie basement traders came up with an idea to bypass those bmi
charges
hence the qchart wave... )
why mess with that stuff now. evolve... you should be able to afford $99
a month for the new pro... i mean it's about 3 bucks per day....
damn it you gotta clime up a bit on that evolutionary ladder...
