Well spoken.
If we instead of closing our eyes for the disadvatages in Tradestation
reported the bugs and got them corrected, then we would all benefit.
Tradestation should be capable to at least the same precision as single
precision math, preferably double precision, but at least the same as single
precision. Closing our eyes does not develop the tool. Closing the eyes is
only beneficial for resellers and their likes.
