Therein lies the problem...whether we like to admit it or not, 95% of the
people on the list that trade are consistent losers in the markets. And as
such, people cycle in and out of the list as their accounts ebb and
eventually blow out. Some of the 5% that win tend to either not share their
findings (keep an edge in their way of thinking), or as Bob says, others
with many years of EL programming get frustrated with TSX, get a data feed
SDK, and roll their own proprietary trading platform with industrial
strength language.
Another problem lies in that sad fact that TSX is a proprietary language,
so I doubt that even Sam Tennis could help with formally publishing a
manual/document detailing the internal workings of TSX due to legal
disclosure restrictions as a part of his employment separation agreement.
And the same must be true with other former Omega/TT employees as well. The
precision thread several months ago was the closest I've seen to document
TSX internal processing functions in my many years on this list.
