We’ve received many emails and phone calls everyday about supporting specific data feeds and brokerages. While many are very polite, some are more forceful as many expressed that they need such support in an urgent.

We understand that you want us to support your brokerage and data feed as soon as possible, but you need to understand that supporting a new data feed or integrating with another brokerage’s order interface is not an easy task. A lot of planning and design is required to make the new integration works smoothly.

Many users find that the NeoTicker formula is a very mysterious thing. On one hand they have seen very short and sweet formula examples printed in magazines, in our user group, and from our support staff answering their questions.
