BILL Cruz gives us answers #1 of several.

Wow - I have today, met with Bill Cruz, and he spend over 30 min. giving
me
answers to every question that was e-mailed to me over the last 3 days.
I
printed out every e-mail and he read and answered them all. He was very
candid and I will write up all the questions and Bill Cruz's answers
from my
many notes. But it will not happen tonight. I am just too busy to do
it
all at once. So expect several postings from me over the next few days.
But, here is a little information that should please us all. The
release
that is going live on June 27, 2001 is still just a beginning release.
While it will have direct order entry and the ability to handle futures,
it
is in no way the final product. A great many additional features will
be
added to upcoming major releases over the next many months.
A few of the additional features that are to be added to futures
releases
are:
1. Many additional months of backward historical tick data.
2. The ability to correct bad ticks and change the data originally
sent.
3. The ability to ADD you own ASCII data and symbols.
4. The addition of Radar Screen's features.
5. The addition of Option Station's features.
Bill Cruz did not give me a specific month that Service Pack 6 will be
released for the 2000i series, but after a little prodding, he promised
me
that it would be out this year, probably in the late fall.
The company was very quick to state that they have made a major change
in
the direction that they are going. The old Omega Research was a
software
technology company. The new TradeStation Group is a financial services
company. In order to succeed in this new direction, many things will
have
to change. Especially the companies attitude towards their customers
and
the quality of their products, and the company understands what they
must do
to be successful.
Please, we all will have to wait and see what happens over the next
couple
of years. But the constant bashing of the company will not help.
Carefully check out TradeStation Pro with each new major release. At
the
present time I know that I cannot use the upcoming version of
TradeStation
Pro, but many others can. Within the next several releases,
TradeStation
Pro should have enough high quality features that I will be using it for
all
of my real time trading.
Please save this posting. More to follow.
