Totally disagree with that. I believe AB has given us small time traders an edge and I personally dont want real time multiple computer data synchronation. because firstly it is both expensive and time consuming to implement, and usually comes with performance penalty. Just look at how long and troublesome banking software take to implement. Secondly, I am happy that AB is staying out of large Coporates radar screen. Like TJ said, the current architecture is completely workable if I understand how to copy files over and that propagation of updates is kept unidirectional. It is more than capable to running multiple instances and on multiple machines. I do however support running large scale optimization over multiple machines. The problems mentioned above exist because people dont follow instructions or know what the instructions are. Creating complex synchronisation regime will create another set of and larger problems for those who still dont follow instructions.

Not to be too cute, but who uses just one computer anymore ... TJ, I appreciate your direct acknowlegement of this situation. It's something that people should know about in advance (if possible) of assuming/attempting otherwise. I sincerely hope that an appropriately high priority will be given to enhancing the AB architecture so that creational work done on different machines at different times (charts made, code written, layouts created, etc. etc.) can be easily cr0ss-copied to be available identically on each machine, with no problems being created thereby.
