Maybe you should consider taking a dose of reality instead of concerning
oneself with what the Cruz's were smoking. So you think we all use TS
because we were suckered into it by the inCredibleCruzCrew? Get real! You
give their marketing too much credit. You would apparently feel they could
sell ice in Antartica.
For me, I use TS4, 5 and 6 because I have not found any trading software
better for the type of trading I do and I care less whether they have a
brokerage or whether they ever develop TS further: they are fine for me with
some minor inconveniences, mostly solved by using W2kPro for TS5. Why not
work on your trading and follow through on why you bought TS in the first
place. If TS does not meet your needs, find something else. Continual
complaining about the Cruz's ripping us off is exactly the same as a losing
trader blaming TS or his broker for his losses. Why not accept some
responsibility for your trading development or you will never find success
in this business. The only reason to use TS is if it can help you make
money in your trading business or investments.
This business is like a Jurassic Park and we are all just a little dessert
for the raptors, T rexes and whatever out there, hoping we are concentrating
upon something else like the Cruzes rather than how to avoid getting
devoured by them. However, the real enemy is ourselves and our ability to
accept responsibility for surviving. We need to keep our equity long enough
to learn how to live in this environment. Most do not make it long enough
to figure out a way to live amongst the predators. IMHO, the real crook is
oneself, if we continually steal our attention onto blaming rather than onto
responsibly *learning survival*.
Best wishes and good trading in TS Jurassic Park.

I have a high suspicion that long ago the CRUZ bros.
were toking on a nice fat doobie and had a brainstorm:
"Now that we've suckered a mass of consumers into
buying TS, let's stop supporting it and let's create a
web only version with heavy pressure for them to use
OUR BROKERAGE. Then, we can check by computers which
trader(s) have the highest profitability on their
trading, and we can invest all our money along their
trades . . . we'll make billions !!!!"
