Announcing TradeStation 7.2

  1. This TS Link DLL sounds very intriguing. Are you using it with 2000i or the TS 7.x online version?

    Can you give some detail as to what you can accomplish with this dll?

    Thanks!

    Sorry, I meant 2004 - but they don't say when in 2004.

    They have a demo version on their website with some sample code. It isn't DDE. You basically specify in your TS code where in a spreadsheet you want a particular value put. And it does it.

    I use it to take a range of values from my current chart, put it in an Excel spreadsheet, then I paste a link from this spreadsheet into an Excel Workbook Object that is running with TS next to my chart. I then have a traffic light system that works according to the values that are there. Does that make sense? You should also be able to take values from Excel worksheets and use them within TS. I haven't tried this yet but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work - it works fine in the demo.

    I use TS 7.1. I have this all running on 1 min charts without any performance issues. I sometimes have trouble getting it all started in the morning (sometimes the spreadsheet comes up automatically, some times I have to manually start it) but once it is up and running it works fine all day.

    Cheers

    Er... My quote was about DDE links to Excel. When will you support DDE links to Excel?

    I upgraded to 7.2 last night. I can put a different Workspace on each monitor. Very nice.

    Before upgrading I Exported all of my custom indicators to a backup file. When I upgraded 7.2 did not 'verify' my custom indicators and nothing worked. The solution I used to get them working again was to import them again from my backup file. Glad I backed up the indicators.

    First impression of 7.2 is very good. I like the multiple monitor support.

    Supporting DDE Links to Excel is a functionality that is very high on our priority list, so we do expect to add it in a future release. However, at this point, we do not have a time line for a release date target that we can announce.

  10. Just to clarify :

    Say I open an account at Tradestation with 40kusd, will I be able to trade :
    - US stocks
    - FX
    - Futures

    On the same account or will I have to decide what I want to trade and will I need to stick to this (in opposite with IB) ?

    I like your FX software, looks like a copy of GFTForex one. (I guess they created it for you?)
