Hi Abhijit!

I was just looking to set myself apart from those looking to start
daytrading and make tons of money doing it. 

I actually got to where I am by doing things that I like and loving what
I do. This is why I chose to do the toolkit in Python/Java for example.
While it might have been a more marketable decision to go the .NET route
I decided it won't be fun for me. I love trading and I love coding and if
I'm to put in all the time required to bring something like Uptick up, I
might as well have fun doing it.

I second this motion. Don't want to risk my grocery money, though. I'd
rather have a pool of money that I can afford to risk so that emotions do
not affect my trading decisions.

    Thanks, Joel
