Quoted from his last post:
"You may not know that you are not enforced to use TS6 with the TS brokerage
platform."
I am not sure what he means by that statement. However, my reading of the
TradeStation website indicates that (1) TradeStation 2000i is no longer
available to USA residents, and (2) In order to access and use TradeStation
6, one must maintain an active brokerage account, either futures or
securities.
One of the features of TradeStation that I found many folks liked the
ability to purchase TS, learn it and EasyLanguageŽ, sign on to eod or
real-time data, and take one's time in applying strategies and methodologies
without any pressure to actually trade. My reading of the website tells me
that inactive accounts will be disconnected from TS6.
Don't read me wrong. I am not a TS basher...in fact I have used TradeStation
since 1993 and version 3.1 and now use TS2K daily.
It's just a completely different ballgame now. TS2K owners were promised
upgrades which did not materialize beyond SP 5. Any improvements to the TS
product will be available only to TS6 users. And so on...
Yet PO still spouts all the old Omega party line baloney when he knows it's
not true. I would believe that most if not all his new European customers do
not read nor subscribe to the Omega-List. Too many issues to explain.
I would also believe that a promising scenario, given TRAD's recent stock
price, etc., is that someone will come along and make a bid for the
TradeStation 2000i/TS 4.0 product lines and customer lists and the
bankruptcy judge will accept it. Perhaps then, with a working product to
start with, the properly motivated new owners will endeavor to produce the
product we have all been waiting for all these years. And PO will have to
re-apply to be the European representative.
With all the amazing number (millions and millions) of boomers entering
"middle age" now, and most, if not all, our trading products going
electronic, the potential customer base for a fine product will be quite
large, to say the least.
