Frank,
So what you are telling me is you don't use DTN satellite and have
never talked to their tech people. They have some good ones and some
that aren't so good.
Yes Tradestation got us a new file at the last minute or just after it
three times this year. The last one doesn't work correctly but it is
a big improvement over crashing all day. They either don't support TS2ki
anymore or only sort support it or something. So that is what we have to live
with or move on. Personally I get a bit tired of people bashing
Wealth Lab as it may be something we all need badly later on.
After a while we get a bit tired of either Tradestation crashing us or
DTN crashing us. Fortunately DTN is a very good vendor so it is only
frustrating when you have a lot of problems with TS2ki due to
Tradestation.
Now a part of being on this list is knowing as much as we can about
Tradestation products and problems and also related and very important
vendors like Data Feed Vendors.
