Quote from edo870:

If TDA decides to no longer support QT... what exactly does that mean to current users? I could live without future updates so long as I can keep the current functionality.
It's a desktop application and from what I can tell (and I'm no programmer) they only thing that might cease to function are the feeds. Heck, I'd even use the ad-supported model over TOS.
I'm sure a patch (like the one used to fix the backfill issue) could be created to bypass any TDA issues once they bring QT down. Right?

If someone hadn't provided the update with the holidays I believe the indicators that we use would have shown faulty feedback.

There is a lot to keep maintenace for this kind of coding, but thankfully somebody loves this software as much as the rest of us users.

There is no way TOS is even going to come anywhere near providing the immediate feedback and capability that this program does in any sense. It is a monstrosity already.....

And who cares if it was written in Delphi or not.

Half the airtraffic control software in Heathrow etc is still in fortran and it's not going into mothballs anytime soon.

There are plenty of Delphi programmers out there and there are ways of upgrading the language as they do for big control centers.

@edo870 - the patch already bypasses TDA servers for registration, disables web update, auto registers, and increases max # of days on charts to 60. That was in the first one posted.

@tomi01 - note that you can edit the holidays yourself on the OPTIONS/Edit Preferences menu, CHARTS tab, Multiday Timeframes sub-tab... Select the timeframe, then hit the Market Holidays Button. Or, you can just edit the TFHOLIDAYS.XML file with a text editor
