William,
No one has said it better than you.
I am actively looking for a substitute for TS - especially one for which I
might buy the source, and especially with an eye towards compiling it under
Linux.
I like TS' sophisticated graphical interface and features (when they work) -
and will continue to use these, but ultimately expect to end up with
- a fancy, interactive, graphical charting program (like TS or SC)
- a modeling program able to test any stategy I can think up
- a flexible order-entry program able to read (almost) any data feed, run my
selection programs and emit a signal.
This might involve three different programs.
I am contacting SmartQuant and have been compiling a list of ALL candidates
for the above functions, and would much like to share these with like-minded
persons.

it is always the same problem in software: a compagny creates software and
develops it but, if the source is not available, when this compagnie decides
to stop working on it, the users are hostage.
I will be glad when i will able to use only free software. I use linux for
my work except win2000 for tradestation. I will be able to use smartquant in
perhaps 1 or 2 year. But even if tradestation tech do not upgrade i have no
regret to by it.
