The bear market means far fewer new entrants into trading.
Few new entrants means few new shrink wrap sales, which means
they need to increase their revenue from elsewhere.
The choice is between leveraging their existing base by trying to catch
hold of the brokerage fees paid by users of Tradestation, or by
spending dollars on fixing legacy software for which they see no big
new market.
You seem to think they should choose the second, because that's
what suits you. Silly boys.
