Ben,
You've put together quite a lengthy, wordy diatribe there. It sounds more like a convoluted sales pitch. Let me see if I can sift through all your verbiage.
----
You make the claim "...the best, most versatile, most cost-effective choice in point and figure charting software is EZ-PnF." yet three paragraphs earlier you say "I am in no way disparaging RTR or their product. It looks like a very powerful tool". You make the claim that your p&f software is the best, yet you obviously haven't done any true comparison between it and RTR (and possibly any other p&f software). Please, if you're going to make the claim that your software is the best, show all of us some concrete benchmarks which compare your software against the others and describe how you came to your conclusions using facts instead of emotion (come on, Ben, you're an engineer, you know what I'm talking about).

The Dorsey site allows you to create your own stock portfolio with associated p&f charts.

Your program doesn't help one learn p&f it only produces the chart - to become intimately familiar with how p&f works one must sit down with a sheet of graph paper and go through the exercise of creating one's own hand crafted chart for a stock. How exactly does your program help a user "Learn to use P&F" ?
---
"EZ-PnF is so efficiently programmed that the working program (<400KB)". Let's get serious here, Ben. The algorithm for doing the actual calculations and plotting for p&f charts is pretty straight-forward. Why did it take you an entire 400KB to write it ? This doesn't sound very "efficiently programmed".
---
"Tom's service does offer lots of information, when your internet connection is up and working". Must any hint of complement from you be gated with digs such as this ? When your Internet connection is not up and working you won't be getting any of that "free" data from any of your internet providers (e.g. AOL, prodigy, etc.), right ? Bad dig, Ben.
---
Write back when you have some objective data to present on this thread instead of your subjective, emotional opinion of a program you've written and are trying to sell.
---
BTW, how many books have you published on the subject of p&f or any other TA analysis ? I'd just like to know what your published background is in the area. I haven't written any, but I'm also not touting any programs I've written as "the best", especially without any factual data and comparisons to support the claim.
Cheers. |
