I have a few problems with that....if Trendsetter or another program ran using BMI I would switch right away. But as it stands, the following issues have to be addressed with regard to using Linnsoft.

If the software is buggy...and it is, even well into the third version

and,

The software creates data errors,...which it does, take for example the TIKI issue. I don't know that more issues aren't there as well.

and

There is nothing else available....which there may not be.

then

I have to close up shop on this machine and rely on the others which run PC programs. Such is life, but this is a business and I cannot justify spitting into the wind.

< So I expect both the software packages I'll be testing are very poor ports from the PC>

I always had that sense as well. Good luck, if you find anything please pass it on. That Bullsession site will not work for me, it does not have Futures quotes.

I think it is sort of a shame. I started with Apple ][ computers in '79, I think, and started running trading software on one around 1982 or 83. The house is loaded with Macintosh computers but if there is no quality software then it's a question of my own survival.
