Key issue: can you develop your own indicators and functions a la Tradestation's easylanguage. A slick GUI interface alone doesn't really "hack-it".

Me thinks you won't find anything to emulate that TOS feature. Remember, TOS is about 5 years in-the-making. There's probably about 50 man-years of effort to build that entire platform. It's not to say that what you want cannot be built. In fact, I think I could do it in Excel via the DDE or...

Great response and my sentiments...EXACTLY. "Show me the money". I don't think they have "produced" that many great traders. One reason is "attitude". I joined their chat group...and mentioned the morning futures one day.....and they said "no more talk of futures". They were so paranoid...

Of course....and a new Chevy Impala will be priced at $60,000, tuition at Harvard: $100k per year, gasoline $8/gallon, and so on and so forth. It's all relative.

Included in the above is one of the greatest minds in the country: Ken Jennings from Jeapordy fame. He didn't even attempt to go back to the software business after his huge winnings. Ask yourself "why not ?". Answer: read this entire thread.

How profound...and true. You're the smartest guy in the room now. Very impressive. How many other US companies are facing this same reality ? (their quality sucks and needs to improve)

That's you Brad ?

Everyone else gone bust ?

Temping in the IT contracting world today is really a lot like slavery. You should see the huge fees the agencies command.

Whatever happened to Sammy and JangoFolly ?

Just me....I think. Everyone else go bust ?

Listen-up ! I have to work with these "people" every day. Some of them are very good. But many of them are average-at-best and on top of that, they are hard to understand and communicate with. So American corps are GETTING WHAT THEY PAID FOR: lower quality and a lower price.

Tell all of this to the LOBBIESTS who are raking in 6 figure salaries to keep large corp's interests above that of the people's.

Interesting comment. However, as I had posed to other former IT pros: "Have you been able to match or surpass your former IT income with trading profits ?" And the answer is nearly always a resounding: NO

Very Interesting comment. Where I am working now as a "temp" (they call it "Agile employee") almost 70% of the workforce is FEMALE. Wonder why. Over 40 and male in the USA ? Welcome ...you are the new "niggah" ! I'm really interested in that new show coming up..."Men of a Certain Age"...

That says it all. Are you a foreign national or something ? Taking advantage of the USA are you ? You are judging our educational system ? Wow, you must feel ..... what's the word ?..... ENTITLED ?

TOTALLY, TOTALLY AGREE. Especially with all of the OUTSOURCING going on today. Pick the wrong field...and you've got a .... LOSER. Huge tuition bills, and low pay. That's America today.

Has anyone topped Jack's net profit for 2009 ?

I say.....NO ! http://www.marketwatch.com/video/asset/some-mutual-fund-firms-deserve-lumps-of-coal-2009-12-20/3FA375D4-7027-4D22-8472-08C2884E85E3?link=kiosk
