Hello Mark,
I like the idea of a data coop, building perhaps on the one ztrader
started for TS4. I don't know crap about programming, file sharing or
have a server to donate but I would contribute my $120 as seed money
instead of buying Historycentre. Also I'd be happy to help organize
some of the effort. I know that's no biggie but maybe a few others
would ante up. Maybe ztrader and Colin West would lend their efforts
there. I also have some tick level asci data (mainly SP's from a well
known vendor) I can make available.
Just a thought.
Best regards,
Jim Johnson mailto:jejohn@xxxxxxxxxxx
