Talk:TradeStation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The top most needed things from TradeStation Securities as a company, in my humble opinion are:
1) Visibility and explanations about features, functions, price changes, or business strategy changes for the upcoming 2 quarters at least, in a secure area that only members can access. Build in a second level of authentication if they are paranoid about security. Give us a schedule for new features that we can count on. This would stop the bitching that "they aren't listening" or "whey aren't the freeking product managers answering when we need them?"
2) Give the ranking of the most requested features to users, again in a secure area, so that we can see what has been requested, a TradeStation staff prioritization for those features, who made the decision (marketing, development, bizdev, or senior mgmt). Don't keep us in the dark about why our requests and demands for new competitive features are not being honored. Respect our needs, and give the REAL reasons why decisions are being made, not silence or some bullsh*t reason why our most requested things won't make it into the software in the next release (or maybe never). Give us the choice to stay with TradeStation that is built on trust and respect, not deceit and lies.

3) Improve TS data integrity. TS is a very volatile product. It deletes and corrupts files and can and will cost users time and money, unless users are overly diligent in protecting against these eventualities. TS has many merits, but data integrity is sorely lacking, and TS is therefore not currently suitable for institutional money management.

[edit] Security?
Apparently this software is the property of a stock broker. I would like to see an independent evaluation of the spyware potential of this product. In addition, I would like to see an analysis of the degree to which the decisions of the user are faithfully carried out. Are trading orders ever delayed? Is it appropriate for wikipedia to have an article which is so one-sided (POV) in relation to a commercial product? Too Old 03:29, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
