As I understand the below, they treat user groups and solution providers
using the same standardised apporach as old software:
Everyone believes they are supporting it until one day you find out they do
not.
If you do not see them feeding it, they are going to kill it, but they might
not have told you yet.

> It is with great reluctance that I have decided to withdraw

>
> 1. Omega Research, as a company, has dropped its support of
> user groups.
> And the method they chose to do this did not officially inform us as a
> user group, nor did they contact any of the other leaders to
> notify us.
> No
> further referals are being made to new users to the groups, and they
> have
> removed the user group locator from their web site.
>
> 2. Omega Research is now TradeStation Technologies. Their primary
> platform
> will now be TradeStation Pro. The previous policy was to provide a
> functional copy of their trading software to the user group leader to
> use
> in conjunction with the group meetings for learning and demonstration
> purposes. Along with some of you, I was given access to the
> TradeStation
> Pro client during the preview program, but that has now been
> terminated
> and it doesn't look like there will be any future support for
> user group
> leaders.
>
> 3. I have started a salaried position which takes up a considerable

> more of an
> interest in the technical capabilities of the program than in the
> execution of the program in a fast paced, high stress
> environment of the
> day trader.
>
> 4. Along with the drop in support for user groups, TradeStation
> Technologies has dropped the Solution Provider program which my
> independent consulting company was a part of. With the demise of those
> activites, and the direction to drop any association of my company's
> activities with theirs, I will no longer receive any referals
> from their
> company for support and/or support for the user group.
