PipStop

As soon as the email hit all t-post subscribers yesterday, there was instant reaction. One curious rumor was that the charts had been shut down. Well, unfortunately for that person, the t-post charts are still up, and I've been looking at them all morning.

At the beginning of everything there are always high hopes and idealistic projections. A lot of planning and development has gone into t-post over the course of the past year. Many of you have put in hours of time in using and evaluating t-post, and as you've been able to see there has been some great evolution that has taken place.

One thing that has been nagging, though, and precipitated an email to all t-post users yesterday is the inability to ensure it's overall reliability. 

From a practical view, you always have to keep your eye on the data feed streaming through your tradestation, but it's not really possible to convince traders that they might not be able to rely on their charting platform, at certain random times. Some of the issues that have cropped up have been been of the mysterious type, others just a lot more time intensive than originally thought, others might have been diagnosed incorrectly.

The bottomline is, it's not entirely reliable, and so we're strongly encouraging all t-post users to access thier Intellicharts subscriptions (which everyone had been receiving for free over the last month) as it has proven to not necessarily be perfect, BUT has proven to be more stable and realiable than t-post to date.

You ask why? We've planned, and adjusted our plans along the way, and the time, cost, and effort involved have been great. At the end of the day how far we've come has been great, but we looked at how much farther we have to go, and the agreement we had with our external development team was not in line with what we had been promised.

We're still trying to make it work in whatever way we can, but it is a two-way street, and we will keep you updated.
