omnitrader?

I am told there are 2 new domain names tied to the www.omnitraderbugs.com website within 48 hours as well. I'm pretty pissed off at them myself. The sight contains live video's demonstating all the major bug elements. Stategy Builder is probably 75% inoperable.

www.nirvanastinks.com and www.omnitradersucks.com

I will be sending my stuff to the new websites as soon as they put a contact link up. It's still being built by a fellow trader that is more capable at building websites than me.

Omnitrader stinks, especially their Strategy Builder.

Have a look here:

and also a new website here (all the same place):

As a newbie I started with Omnitrader!!!!..........Now i don't use indicatorsl!!!! OTshould come with a health and wealth warning!

OmniTrader just came out with pre-release 4G that corrects a "ton" of bugs. You will notice they never mention the real bugs they corrected in the release notes but rather something that looks minor or new. They will never say "Oh, by the way, we fixed the major problems identified in August 2004...". Oh no, they will never show they are a year behind the bug curve.

They still have a long way to go, but it's much improved now; at least from a strategy builder point of view. I can only hope the constant nagging helped a bit.

It took them OVER a year to make strategy builder more than 25% functional and now they say they are testing the OT2006 release?

Wonderful... can't wait...

BTW, do you still trade with OT only?

Interesting that Windowsill now does not use indicators. Do you mean that you do not use technical analysis?
If so then there is no software for you.
OT may have bugs in strategy builder, I am not a programmer and therefore cannot comment.

I use OT simply to find stocks that fit a certain set of TA strategies.
Something along the lines of:
"Show me all stock where the 20MA has crossed the 50MA"
Up pops a list and I can instantly see all those stocks and how well they performed historically based on that strategy.

I must admit that OT is not the number 1 weapon in my armoury but I find it useful for testing strategies. I use EoD version, my realtime charting and alerts is from IT Finance which I find superb.

Use of rather loose language here, for which i apologise....I use Sharescope & by indicators I mean ......generally all those termed indicators, which aren't normaly on the main graph screen. Problem with OT, IMO is the incredible complexity .....& the need for this "excellent product" to have expensive upgrades to make it even more .....excellent?...for which you have to pay & then presumably have to face a further steep learning curve....If I had a look at it now (with hindsite & experience....yes I would agree that its makes a good mining tool.(with ma's though what doesn't)..the main advantage though is the fact that it (using signal trader) can list US shares commodities currencies etc, all in the same package.

Oh yes.....something else....It triggers a Green light & two days later changes its mind! This is very disconcerting for someone new to the game! (an example of real curve fitting) However you can backtest & then with your results forward test which is quite clever. So perfect a system up to say 2003 & then forward test it to date.

Hi Euro_D

Where can i find details of IT Finance software if it is good

Thanks
