If this list supported larger attachments, an MP3 file that played "Taps"
would be appropriate at this time to honor all Omega Solution Providers and
Users Groups.....
who have died from lack of compassion and support.

> > And the method they chose to do this did not officially inform us as a

> > 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

> > 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
