That said I could just register as a publisher with them, since I plan to get my own ISBNs anyway; however, Lighting Source doesn't provide an online retail store that readers can buy directly from, which is something I'm looking for as I don't want to deal will individual order fulfillment or distributing through normal retail channels as they get too large of a cut in my opinion (unless you can make up the difference by vastly the increased volume over what a niche book will move).

It appears that most of the outfits you name actually print and sometimes distribute through Lightning Source Inc. Why not consider giving the design and layout work (assuming you don't want to do it yourself) to a local firm, since all this needs is skill, flair and a basic computer -- an ideal cottage industry? -- and then go direct to LSI with the finished files. They'll handle the printing and worldwide distribution, the bit where big really is beautiful, and apparently do a better job than most. I’m just researching this area myself.

Any solutions out there that would be compatible with Ninja, TD ameritrade or E-signal? Metastock is another option but Tradestation is not.

The reason the optimizer is so slow is because it's iterative. But there are solutions out there to fix that. Currently I'm using a Genetic Optimizer.

It works for me - any class either in the same file or another file. Quite surprising that Komodo didn’t find the class definition from another file for you.
