TJ's business model is certainly unique. NEVER before have I seen a business owner / developer directly involved with each and every customer thru a forum like this.
TJ deserves praise for tightly integrating increasingly sophisticated functionality into the AB product. But the AB customer community deserve a great deal of praise for innovative ideas that TJ ultimately adapted to AB. Fred is a free-thinker who introduced us to the concepts of portfolio backtesting and PSO which have since been tightly integrated into AB. William Peters introduced the 'wizard' concept for non-programmer's which has since been improved upon and tightly integrated into AB by TJ. Howard Bandy's published analytical approaches using AB as a platform have resulted in new AB functionality that TJ has incorporated into the product. And there are quite a few other users whose ideas / suggestions TJ has implemented into the AB product. And of course Dimitris was the ultimate 'end-user' in years past who could show us all how to implement new features of AB. None of this takes away from TJ's development skills, but it is important to acknowledge the contributions of the entire AB community in the evolution of AB.
