I was stunned by the new WoW website as well. My guess is that Omega bought WoW to get rid of their chief competition with the Trade Station now that WoW had come out with the WoW Day Trader Software that does the same thing as Omega's packages at a fraction of the price. I have a S&P Comstock datafeed, and it looked like I was going to either get the WoW Day Trader or Omega Tradestation as those were the only two real time programs capable of using the Comstock datafeed. I would have questions about the WoW Day Trader Y2K compliance as well, so looks like I am buying the trade station. I have been using WoW Pro 5.0 and was happy with it, but I know think this is a good time to consolidate mydata feeds. I will be able to cancel quote.com real time and dial data as well. That savings will pay for half the trade station. I already have the S&P Comstock datafeed from my use of Realtick thru Townsend Analytics. Smart move by Omega Research buying WoW. Now there is no competition.
