     This Current Report on Form 8-K of TradeStation Group, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Registrant" or "TradeStation Group") amends and supercedes
that certain Current Report on Form 8-K of Omega Research, Inc., a Florida
corporation ("Omega Research"), dated January 19, 2000 and originally filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2000 and amended on April
28, 2000, as a result of the mergers described in Item 2 of this report causing
the Registrant's securities to be registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Registrant to become the
publicly traded and reporting company in place of Omega Research.

Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Mergers

     On December 29, 2000 (the "Effective Time"), Omega Research and
onlinetradinginc.com corp., a Florida corporation ("OnlineTrading.com"),
completed the mergers pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization (as amended the "Merger Agreement") dated January 19, 2000
pursuant to which Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com were merged and combined
in a stock-for-stock transaction as described hereinafter. The parties to the
Merger Agreement were Omega Research, OnlineTrading.com, TradeStation Group, a
Florida corporation formed by Omega Research that became the holding company for
Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com upon completion of the mergers, Omega
Acquisition Corporation, a recently-formed Florida corporation that is owned by
TradeStation Group ("Omega Merger Sub"), and Onlinetrading Acquisition
Corporation, a recently-formed Florida corporation that is owned by TradeStation
Group ("Online Merger Sub"). Omega Merger Sub was merged into Omega Research
which was renamed TradeStation Technologies, Inc. ("Technologies"), Online
Merger Sub was merged into OnlineTrading.com, which was renamed TradeStation
Securities, Inc. ("Securities"), and Technologies and Securities became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of TradeStation Group. The mergers were approved
immediately prior to the Effective Time by the shareholders of each of Omega
Research and OnlineTrading.com at a special meeting of shareholders of each
company.

     As a result of the conversion at the Effective Time of all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of each of Omega Research and
OnlineTrading.com into shares of common stock of TradeStation Group and the
listing on The Nasdaq National Market of the common stock of TradeStation Group
under the symbol "TRAD" as of the opening of trading on January 2, 2001,
TradeStation Group is the sole publicly-traded company in the group. Omega
Research shareholders received one share of TradeStation Group common stock for
each share of Omega Research common stock (a 1 to 1 ratio) and OnlineTrading.com
shareholders received 1.7172 shares of TradeStation Group common stock for each
share of OnlineTrading.com (a 1.7172 to 1 ratio). Cash will be paid in lieu of
fractional shares of TradeStation Group. As of the Effective Time, TradeStation
Group was owned approximately 57% (on a fully diluted basis) by former Omega
Research's shareholders and approximately 43% (on a fully diluted basis) by
OnlineTrading.com's former shareholders. Immediately after the Effective Time
and after giving effect to the mergers, there were outstanding an aggregate
amount of approximately 44,333,120 shares of common stock of TradeStation Group.

     The mergers are intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United
States federal income tax purposes and TradeStation Group intends to account for
the mergers as a pooling-of-interests.

Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com Stock Options, Warrants and Stock Plans

     At the Effective Time, TradeStation Group assumed the following:

     (i)   the Omega Research 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the 1997
           Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the Amended
           and Restated 1996 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended (the reserved
           shares under which were increased with the approval of Omega
           Research's shareholders from 4,500,000 to 7,500,000 shares at the
           special meeting of shareholders held on December 29, 2000 to approve
           the mergers) (collectively, the "Omega Incentive Stock Plans");
     (ii)  all options to purchase Omega Research common stock outstanding
           under any of the Omega Incentive Stock Plans and/or assumed by Omega
           Research in connection with Omega Research's acquisition of Window
           On WallStreet Inc.("Window On WallStreet") and originally granted
           under Window On WallStreet's 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan or
           otherwise granted to employees of Window OnWallStreet prior to the
           adoption of such plan;
     (iii) the OnlineTrading.com 1999 Stock Option Plan;
     (iv)  all options to purchase OnlineTrading.com common stock then
           outstanding under the OnlineTrading.com 1999 Stock Option Plan; and


                                       2
<PAGE>

     (v)  warrants to purchase up to 225,000 shares of OnlineTrading.com common
          stock at an exercise price of $11.55 issued to the underwriters of
          OnlineTrading.com's initial public offering.

     Each Omega Research stock option, OnlineTrading.com stock option and
OnlineTrading.com warrant described above was assumed by TradeStation Group
under the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the option or
warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each Omega
Research stock option will be exercisable for the same number of shares of
TradeStation Group at the same exercise price; (ii) each OnlineTrading.com stock
option and OnlineTrading.com warrant will be exercisable for shares of
TradeStation Group common stock and the number of shares of TradeStation Group
common stock issuable upon exercises of any given option or warrant will be
determined by multiplying the 1.7172 exchange ratio for a share of
OnlineTrading.com common stock in the merger by the number of shares of
OnlineTrading.com common stock underlying the option or warrant, rounded down to
the nearest whole number; and (iii) the per share exercise price of any given
OnlineTrading.com stock option and OnlineTrading.com warrant will be determined
by dividing the exercise price of the option or warrant immediately prior to the
Effective Time by the 1.7172 exchange ratio for a share of OnlineTrading.com
stock in the merger rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Immediately after the
Effective Time and after giving effect to the mergers, there were outstanding
(i) options to purchase in the aggregate approximately 4,998,900 shares of
commons stock of TradeStation Group and (ii) warrants to purchase in the
aggregate approximately 386,370 shares of common stock of TradeStation Group.

     TradeStation Group has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-8
for the shares of TradeStation Group common stock issuable with respect to the
assumed OnlineTrading.com and Omega Research stock options within twenty (20)
business days after the Effective Time.

Directors After the Mergers

     As of the Effective Time, the board of directors of TradeStation Group is
comprised of eight directors. The directors of TradeStation Group from and after
the Effective Time were initially designated as follows: Omega Research
designated five directors, including two Co-Chairman of the Board and two who
are required to be independent directors, and OnlineTrading.com designated three
directors, one of whom is required to be an independent director. Accordingly,
as of the Effective Time, the board of directors of TradeStation Group was
comprised of William R. Cruz, Ralph L. Cruz and Salomon Sredni, executive
officers of Omega Research, and Brian D. Smith and Stephen C. Richards,
independent directors of Omega Research, E. Steven zum Tobel and Farshid
Tafazzoli, executive officers of OnlineTrading.com, and Lothar Mayer, who was an
independent director of OnlineTrading.com until October 4, 2000.

Voting Trust Agreements

     In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders
of Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com entered into a voting trust agreement to
be effective at the Effective Time pursuant to which shares of common stock of
TradeStation Group owned by them after the Effective Time are subject to the
terms of such voting trust. The relevant shareholders of Omega Research who
entered into the voting trust agreement are affiliates of William R. Cruz and
Ralph L. Cruz (Co-Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officers of
TradeStation Group) who held an aggregate of 18,313,208 shares of TradeStation
Group immediately after the Effective Time, representing approximately 41.3% of
the outstanding shares. The shareholders of OnlineTrading.com who entered into
the voting trust agreement are Andrew A. Allen (the former Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of OnlineTrading.com) and his affiliates, affiliates
of E. Steven zum Tobel and Farshid Tafazzoli (Vice President of Brokerage
Operations and Vice President of Brokerage Technology, respectively, of
TradeStation Group), Derek J. Hernquist (the former Vice President of Operations
and Secretary and a former director of OnlineTrading.com) and a former director
of OnlineTrading.com who held an aggregate of approximately 15,263,998 shares of
TradeStation Group common stock immediately after the Effective Time,
representing approximately 34.4% of the outstanding shares. The parties to the
voting trust agreement have agreed that during the term of the voting trust
agreement and the continuance of the voting trust created under that agreement
the voting trustee, Marc J. Stone, will be entitled to exercise with respect to
TradeStation Group shares subject to the voting trust all rights of voting and
abstaining from voting or otherwise to participate in shareholder actions,
including executing written consents, in all matters relating to TradeStation
Group as provided in the voting trust agreement.


                                       3
<PAGE>

     From and after the Effective Time, the Omega Research shareholders who are
a party to the voting trust agreement have the right to direct the voting
trustee to vote all of the shares subject to the voting trust in a manner such
that five of the total of eight directors constituting the board of directors of
TradeStation Group, two of which are required to be independent directors, are
designated by those Omega Research shareholders. The former OnlineTrading.com
shareholders who are a party to the voting trust agreement have the right to
direct the voting trustee to vote all of the shares subject to the voting trust
in a manner such that three of such total number of eight directors, one of
which is required to be an independent director, are designated by those former
OnlineTrading.com shareholders. In the event that the number of directors
constituting the board of directors of TradeStation Group is increased or
decreased from time to time on or after the Effective Time, then each group of
shareholders will be entitled to designate its number of the total number of
directors of TradeStation Group based upon a ratio of 62.5% for the former Omega
Research shareholders and 37.5% for the former OnlineTrading.com shareholders.
If the foregoing ratio yields other than whole numbers as to the number of
directors for which each group of shareholders is entitled to designate the
shares to be voted, then the number of directors which each such group is
entitled to designate shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the
one remaining directorship that this rounding down will create shall be
designated by the former Omega Research shareholders.

     With respect to all matters other than the election of directors as to
which a vote (or written consent) of shareholders of TradeStation Group will be
made, the voting trustee will vote the shares owned by each TradeStation Group
shareholder who is a party to the voting trust agreement as specifically
instructed in writing by the shareholder owning the beneficial interest in, and
voting trust certificate relating to, such shares.

     The voting trust shall dissolve on the earliest of the following dates: (i)
the second anniversary of the Effective Time; (ii) the date when the voting
trustee shall resign in writing unless such vacancy is timely filled as provided
under the voting trust agreement; (iii) the date when TradeStation Group
shareholders who are parties to the voting trust agreement holding 67% or more
of the shares then subject to the agreement shall execute a written instrument
so declaring; or (iv) the date when less than 75% of the aggregate number of
shares owned as of the Effective Time by either the former Omega Research or
former OnlineTrading.com shareholders who are a party to the voting trust
agreement remains subject to the voting trust.

     There were no material relationships prior to the mergers between
OnlineTrading.com (or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of
OnlineTrading.com or any associate of any such director or officer), on the one
hand, and TradeStation Group (or any of its affiliates, any director or officer
of Omega Research or any associate of any such director or officer), on the
other hand, except as described above.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

                                       11
<PAGE>

     On June 29, 1999, an amendment to OnlineTrading.com's current lease
agreement for its office space located in Boca Raton, Florida became effective.
The amendment added 5,009 square feet of office space to its Boca Raton
location. The space was completed on March 1, 2000 and results in additional
monthly rent of $11,028 plus applicable taxes.

Litigation

     On January 11, 2000, Robert A. Whigham, Jr. and Patricia F. Whigham filed a
civil action against onlinetradinginc.com corp., Barry Goodman, Jan Bevivino,
William L. Mark and Bear Stearns Securities Corp. OnlineTrading.com's attorneys
moved the case to the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts, Eastern Division and on May 5, 2000 the United States District
Court granted OnlineTrading.com's motion to compel arbitration and subsequently
entered a procedural order dismissing the Whigham's civil action without
prejudice. On September 9, 2000, OnlineTrading.com received notification from
NASD Dispute Resolution, Inc. that the Whighams had filed a statement of claim
and initiated arbitration against all parties named in the former civil action.

     The Whighams have alleged that, during the period from January 1999 through
August 1999, their accounts were serviced by an unregistered person, Barry
Goodman, in violation of Massachusetts General Laws c.110A and that
OnlineTrading.com aided and abetted Mr. Goodman in violation of c.110A. The
Whighams have also made allegations of excessive trading, excessive commissions,
negligent supervision and fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. ss.1962. The Whighams
seek total alleged damages of $561,000 plus interest, costs, fees and treble
damages. OnlineTrading.com intends to present a vigorous defense and to seek
reimbursement for certain costs associated with OnlineTrading.com's defense.
OnlineTrading.com believes the allegations to be without merit; however, there
can be no assurance that OnlineTrading.com's defense of this claim will be
successful.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On December 29, 2000 (the "Effective Time"), OnlineTrading.com and Omega
Research, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Omega Research"), completed, the mergers
pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as
amended the "Merger Agreement") dated January 19, 2000 pursuant to which
OnlineTrading.com and Omega Research were merged and combined in a
stock-for-stock transaction as described hereinafter. The parties to the Merger
Agreement were Omega Research, OnlineTrading.com, TradeStation Group, Inc.
("TradeStation Group"), a Florida corporation formed by Omega Research that
became the holding company for Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com upon
completion of the mergers, Omega Acquisition Corporation, a recently-formed
Florida corporation that is owned by TradeStation Group ("Omega Merger Sub"),
and Onlinetrading Acquisition Corporation, a recently-formed Florida corporation
that is owned by TradeStation Group ("Online Merger Sub"). Omega Merger Sub was
merged into Omega Research which was renamed TradeStation Technologies, Inc.
("Technologies"), Online Merger Sub was merged into OnlineTrading.com which was
renamed TradeStation Securities, Inc. ("Securities"), and Technologies and
Securities became wholly-owned subsidiaries of TradeStation Group.

     As a result of the conversion at the Effective Time of all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of each of Omega Research and
OnlineTrading.com into shares of common stock of TradeStation Group and the
listing on The Nasdaq National Market of the common stock of TradeStation Group
under the symbol "TRAD" as of the opening of trading on January 2, 2001,
TradeStation Group is the sole publicly-traded company in the group. Omega
Research shareholders received one share of TradeStation Group common stock for
each share of Omega Research common stock (a 1 to 1 ratio) and OnlineTrading.com
shareholders received 1.7172 shares of TradeStation Group common stock for each
share of OnlineTrading.com (a 1.7172 to 1 ratio). Cash will be paid in lieu of
fractional shares of TradeStation Group. As of the Effective Time, TradeStation
Group was owned approximately 57% (on a fully diluted basis) by former Omega
Research's shareholders and approximately 43% (on a fully diluted basis) by
OnlineTrading.com's former shareholders. Immediately after the Effective Time
and after giving effect to the mergers, there were outstanding an aggregate
amount of approximately 44,333,120 shares of common stock of TradeStation Group.

     The mergers are intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United
States federal income tax purposes and TradeStation Group intends to account for
the mergers as a pooling-of-interests.

                            TRADESTATION GROUP, INC.
           INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the
merger of Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com, on a pooling-of-interests basis.
At the Effective Time, Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com became wholly-owned
subsidiaries of TradeStation Group. TradeStation Group's unaudited pro forma
combined balance sheet assumes that the mergers took place on September 30, 2000
and combines the Omega Research consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2000
with OnlineTrading.com's consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2000.
TradeStation Group's unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations
assume that the mergers took place as of the beginning of the periods presented
and combine Omega Research's consolidated statements of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 with OnlineTrading.com's statements of operations for the nine
months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 and the years ended January 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively. TradeStation Group's unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements are based on Omega Research and OnlineTrading.com's
historical financial statements and related notes thereto, which have not been
restated for the effect of the mergers. See Item 7.(a) of this report.

     Nonrecurring merger expenses incurred in connection with the mergers are
estimated to be approximately $4.5 million, comprised of approximately $2.1
million in banking fees, $1.4 million in legal, accounting and tax service fees,
$0.6 million in severance expenses and $0.4 million in printing and
miscellaneous expenses. Such expenses are not reflected in the unaudited pro
forma combined statements of operations, but are reflected as a reduction of
equity and cash in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet.

     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the combined
financial position or results of operations of future periods or the results
that actually would have been realized had the entities been a single entity
during these periods.
