I thought this would be of interest to others on the list.  If it's 
too NeoTicker-oriented, I'll take it off list.

Lawrence, I think a significant number of the people on this list are 
interested in system development & trading, and I suspect many of 
them would be interested in finding a good replacement for 
TradeStation.

It appears to me that you are doing Good Things with NeoTicker, but I 
have to confess I don't understand what they are.  :-)  I've seen 
your brief descriptions here, and I've wandered through your website 
a number of times, and I'm still confused.  

Could you explain your model a bit more?  What type of trading 
(systematic, discretionary, scanner-based, etc) does NT support best?

Your website says you support system trading.  Are you saying you can 
write, test, and execute systems, but you just can't iterate through 
ranges of input parameters?

Presumably someone (you if no one else) uses NeoTicker for system 
development.  Can you explain how one uses it?  What type of 
development methodology do you use to build systems without any kind 
of parameter searches?  (Or do you just do it "by hand" in your 
system code?)  What kind of development process does NeoTicker 
support?  In the system-trading world, what does NeoTicker do that TS 
doesn't?  What does TS support that NT doesn't?

I freely admit to being stuck in a TS-centric thought pattern, since 
that's where I've done nearly all my system development.  Please 
educate me on what NeoTicker does and how/why it's better.

I don't see the power of sending a symbol from a quote page to a 
scanner.  This sounds like a scanner that scans a list of symbols, 
which is hardly revolutionary.  Am I missing something?
