That's only half the problem. I have money elsewhere, but LeoWeb Techs call often with the latest silver bullet. When they do, I have to take down some of my trading software. Now picture a wild-eyed Irishman...Blue Eyes, turning a shade of pink...with a position on and the Annoucement about to hit but on the phone with LeoWeb and the software down. See, they Support during Trading Hours. When I take the BMI stuff down, for example, I lose all that data. Yesterday, for example, I lost about 4 hours of data on Tradestation. Even if you had two accounts or more would you try to play gearhead with your trading software and trade at the same time, particularly during a week like this? I traded up until Thursday waiting for this software, now I am sort of locked because I have to go back and forth with fixes several times during the day. Besides, splitting accounts adds to problems in April. I have spent much of the past year consolidating. Believe me when I tell you, it's a real effort just to get everything together to file in October as it is.
