I feel squeezed by Microsoft too but I still use Windows. Truth is that if
you can trade well the price is not out of the picture. I myself would like
a more cost effective approach, but IMHO TS is still the best of the best.
MetaStock comes closest but still lacks certain features such as a means of
file shareing. For many the Internet is too unreliable for day trading, me
included. Many Internet services like Mytrack are like ordering al la
carte. By the time you get what you want it costs plenty. 

Good luck,
Brent

I feel "squeezed" by Omega Research. The reviews that I have seen so far
about TS2000 are not all favorable. Tradestation 4.0 is limiting as far as
real-time data providers, does not have a Y2K fix yet, is slow (imho) and
pricey compare to it's features.

The age of the internet is here. A lot of the features that we require as
professional traders are now being offered by internet companies for a lot
less money and most are FASTER than our cable/satellite providers. In other
words, our industry is changing and unless we keep up we will get way
behind.

Let's pool our experience here, if you have reviewed, demod or talked to
any other software/data provider, please share your experience here. 

I know the fees are insignificant compare to our industry, but I hate being
squeezed.

AIQ, CQG, Metastock, WOW and other quote vendors that offer their software
with technical analysis tools look interesting.

Thanks in advance,
