I had read somewhere at the ET forums that Curtis Faith is no longer working with Trading Blox.

Curtis has not been involved in any consistent way with Trading Blox for over three years. He finally sold his remaining interest in the product about a year ago in order to pursue other interests.

Quote from Murray Ruggiero:
Yes, There a good section on it in Robert Pardo new book book.
The Evaluation and Optimization of Trading Systems (Second Addition)
In addition I have written several articles in Futures on the topic over the years. One I remember was April and June 2005.

Quote from TraderSystem:
Just to help you out, following are links to the book (Robert):
a) http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&sea...%20Pardo&page=1
b) http://as.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyT...0470128011.html
c) http://www.ecampus.com/book/9780470128015

To search for Murray articles, go to http://www.allbusiness.com/ site and type either his name (Ruggiero, Murray) or the topic you wish (e.g. walk forward).

I found the above articles really interesting. Can TradersStudio do all that what is mentioned in the above articles?

Purchased Traders Studio about two weeks ago, the accompanying manuals are poor and not up to date with the software.
Customer service has been slow to answer questions and is not responsive to problems.
So far I am very dissapointed in this system.

TS staff has responded to all of the issues that I have approached them with, some I had already figured out on my own.

I would encourage you to stick with TS regardless (to a point) of beefs you might have with support on any given day. Were it a vanilla, run of the mill product then, yes, classify the product & company based on responsiveness of a support guy.

But given the relative merit of the product I'd encourage you to hold tight and do what you seem to be doing already - learn by trial and error. Given the sophistication of what can be done with TS I wouldn't be surprised if many of their support people struggle to grasp what many people may be asking them anyway.

Quote from jconrad1:

What is NinjaTrader missing?

Ninja is missing historical data loading and robust backtesting. They call their current backtesting mode "replay".
It's really not quite even up to Tradestation's TS2000i's standards in that regard and that software is 8 years old.
Don't get me wrong, Ninja has great potential...the support is excellent and they listen to their users.
I think Ninja Version 7 is going to be setting a new standard for excellence in a comprehensive trading and testing platform.
