Hello Alex,
TS8 is definitely and upgrade to TS2000i.
You might be hearing the grumblings from disgruntled long time TS2000i users who
were left to hang high and dry when TRAD took a break from software
improvements to implement their new online brokerage/datafeed
business model. To them, TS8 should have happened 3 years ago.
Instead, TS2000i was frozen in time, and was/is unacceptable, unless you wrote programs
and used 3rd party products to do what it lacked and to bypass its flaws.
