I ("we" if I may be so presumptuous) clearly understand you and the time
pressure you're under. I was just trying to get you to understand what's
going on with your fan club. I say fan club because you surely realize
that you have the unique distinction amongst TA software vendors of
havning a customer base that is more of a fan club and how jealous those
other vendors must be!
Personally, I have the utmost faith in you. You like to rise any
challenge and exceed even the most demanding expectation.
Quivering with anticipation...!!

Hello,
Excuse me but asking over and over the same question does not speed
up the development even a bit. In fact it slows it down.
I am bringing as many new features as I can.
Some people are exited about DMM some others are exited about
charting some others are exited about new feeds and some others are
exited about SDK.
Unfortunatelly I have limited resources and I can not
deliver "instant" satisfaction in all areas people are exited about.
Frankly speaking TR model is not as good as some "TR-evangelist"
preach. Some limitation is mainly caused by the fact that TR model
applies money
management AFTER backtest.
I won't dig into this now because of lack of time.
Anyway new backtesting engine will allow all that TR allows plus more.
BTW: TR sells for $2295 (http://www.tradingrecipes.com/order.html)
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
