I don't feel it was a waste. I don't have the time or the knowledge to program for myself. I tested it before I went with it, it has worked for me, and I am happy to continue to pay for it, and will continue to pay for it as long as it pays for iteslf, which so far for me it does many time over. Some people build their own cars, some people make their own shoes, some garden for their food, some people want to program their own trading system. If that is what people want to do I have no problem with it. I just don't feel people should put down the product if they know nothing about it.
