I would like to see a forum topic added that also provides some 'balance' to what otherwise might be perceived (maybe by new 'guests') as rather critical or negative tone to some of the inputs. I for example am one of those who have at times expressed some 'frustration' with some 'issues' that are not seemingly 'resolved' over a protracted time-period


I suspect that there are many 'users' who really appreciate the unique features of this MC product, but there are probably *very* few who have any clue what those 'unique' features have 'cost' in the way of extraordinary design efforts to achieve, or what kind of 'trade-offs' were made to achieve certain unique 'features', right? TSSupport should be given more 'credit' for these 'achievements', in my opinion.
It should be noted that TSSupport has, in my opinion, already achieved in 2-3 years (with minimal financial resources) what TS, etc., has not even seemingly attempted to achieve. But of coarse, 'beauty' is always "in the eyes of the beholder', so everyone will have a different value-scale of what is most important to them, at any given point in time.
I am thinking of certain features that have been desired by most users of the TS lineage of products (that span over a decade of time), but neither OmegaResearch nor TS developers ever offered,e.g., multi-time-frames (AND N-tick bars) on the SAME chart.
I could be wrong, but I suspect that this one feature has cost TSSupport developers the 'biggest challenge' to achieve (otherwise TS would have delivered it too, a long time ago).

I would really like to hear from the TSSupport developers how much of their energy is devoted to 'making this feature work' across so many different data-vendors. As an (ex-) programmer, I have some 'appreciation' for the complexity and trade-off headaches that were implied by adding this 'feature'. I kind of wonder whether there is any 'regrets', or are we (you) about at the 'finish line' for this challenge, and (almost) ready for the next one?
The other unique feature is the large number of supported data-vendors, as well as the 'free' data sources (mostly for stock quotes), and of course its support of the Interactive Brokers (IB) brokerage that is very popular for (mostly stock) traders, as well as the eSignal, ASCII files, etc...,,,how many data-vendors I have not counted..

I personally, have no interest in the IB support, because I have no intention of using them as my brokerage. My interest is mostly Forex trading, and eSignal data gives me the flexibility to monitor/analyze almost any market, and trade (manually) with almost any brokerage, so that is my data vendor of choice (for now). The EasyLanguage support is also essential to me, so that I can leverage the many years of previous use of the TS software.
Perhaps, other users would like to add to the list of their 'favorite' features? How many users have any programming experience and can appreciate the incredible amount of work that has been devoted to make the MC product as useful as it is today, in spite of some of its remaining 'bugs'?
