I don’t fully agree with this as I believe it would be a mistake in their overall long term strategy. Any company should expect that your users/clients needs evolve as they evolve.
With this in mind T212 needs to evolve their service to accommodate their clients future needs. I still hope in the future T212 would explore a different financing stream (maybe subscription based) to allow them to faster develop more advanced features (some of them already requested numerous times here on the forum) and avoid loosing users that are looking for those features.
As an example of this is an API access point (similar to what IBKR are providing) or custom indicators/charts (similar to TradingView) etc => features that not all users need, and most likely cost a lost of money to build and maintain. I am not willing (and most like most users feel the same way) to wait 5 years before T212 can manage based on their current cash flow to develop these features. As such I am using a competitor. I would be more that willing to pay what I am paying the competitor to T212 if that means that I can have access to these features in 1 year or so.
The point that I am trying to make is that the so called Independent Trader Movement is here to stay and new users have new expectations and I personally believe this will require brokers to adapt and improve their current products. The question is will T212 choose to be a leader and innovator in this new world or not? Only time will tell
