I would think a Pattern Day Trader would not get so emotional ????? I guess since it ends with question marks you want a response. When I read your original post and it said "when you go down intraday" as opposed to the way you said it in this post "if the software is stopped and started" I thought you meant when you step it down to intraday scanning it does not work. IOW I thought you were saying that FA is only an EOD scanning tool. That is why I made all the points of its real time scanning value. So it would be clear. It was not so much feeling emotional at all but I was ROFLMAO and wanted people that have never tried it to know how well it works when set up correctly. As for stopping and starting I guess I never had that problem. FA is really more of an institutionally designed tool that usually is run on a separate dedicated machine and never exited. I have run it for 2 years'and have never been forced out of the program. The exception for me has been when my password expires. But I guess that with their new retail oriented internet feed that the problems you describe could be possible when not being run on a second dedicated machine. As for Omega Research products, I do not think I have ever seen anything worse out there as far as dependability. I suspect that the reason that theirs fills intraday gaps was born out of the necessity that it always crashes. So it was a feature born out of another problem. I like what they are trying to do but I have never liked the results of their unreliable code. Though I guess the comparisons should be with the Radar Screen product since FA is not a backtesting product. INSIGHT is another commercial grade product that is available but it is a bit more expensive and has more limitations than FA. Have you checked them out? PDT PS. I realize that they are not OMEGA anymore.
