Hey, I'm a developer as well, I know how it is and I know how crap rolls down hill (for instance, I completely agree with your long writeup on why object code based plugins for interfacing with various trade services is a terrible design and they should be using FIX, DTC, or basically anything that communicates via a socket) - but at the same time I know that when we agree to provide something for someone, and said feature becomes publicly available, the dev basically has to own it at that point, unfortunately. If a custom programming effort for someone ended up making sense for everyone else, it's only natural that it becomes a standard feature at that point. If it ends up being a one-off crappy thing of little value to the masses, then yes, it's perfectly reasonable it gets ripped out.

Anyways, I'm not trying to give you a hard time explicitly. I thought the feature sounded pretty valuable and that's why I tried to use it. I really like SC and am interested in helping make it as robust and powerful (but not necessarily full of useless features) charting/trading platform as possible. This is the headspace where my suggestions are coming from.
