QuoteTracker No Longer Adding New Features - Being Abandoned

  1. Mr. Medved,

    I have a lot of questions I would love to ask you, but I would never put you on the spot like that..

    All the best to you and good trading to you...

    some of the best things in Trading seem to fade away...There are a lot of changes taking place and I feel the Trader is a shrinking profession and I hope I am wrong.

    Now that Jerry is active, stop worrying about QT, enjoy the hard work of Jerry. If Qt goes away from TD, it will come back as another better child from Jerry's brain.

    Thanks Jerry for your contribution to the investing world. Someday, your grandchild will read this using whatever search at that time, and be proud of you.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Jerry,

    I'm the guy that got these two threads going. I want to thank you personally for the best trading software going. It's a crying shame that something so clean and pure is going to die. You or your staff were so awesome helping me get QT set up with a custom color scheme which I use to this day without wishing for a change. I remember I would send a support request e-mail and you would respond within minutes sometime and even at hours way outside business hours. That's the true nature of entrepreneurship - people who have skin in the game care most.

    So is there anything that can be done for us sorry traders that are going to be forced to use something else but long for the good old QT? Can you find a few whiz kid JAVA programmers and cook together a spiffy new trading program? I'm sure the code got old and patched but getting started fresh with a new outline could result in another superior product that would last for quite awhile.

    Maybe this is a long shot but I'd be eternally grateful and willing to pony up for decent software. Obviously you understood trading and had built QT to do just that - chart and trade. Simple. End of story.

    Best regards,

    Garry

  8. Garry,

    Don't know what you can do about it. I am not privy to TDA's plans for drawing down QT. As for having someone create something that mirrors QT using some other language, that is technically possible, but would be a big undertaking, and not one that I can participate in.

    Hi Bernard,
    That's the last thing I heard from them. I get the feeling from the tone of the email and the content of these threads that updates will not be coming anytime soon, I know from experience that when code bases change hands there can be a pretty steep learning curve for the new developers and as others have mentioned we don't really know what TD's plans are for the software.

  10. QT is a fairly basic program.
