    Does anyone have an API for TS2000i?

    I am interested in writing an interface to this new datafeed:
    http://www.opentick.com/

    and I would like to see the TS API or programmer's documentation, to judge the level of difficulty.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    TradeStation has never publicly released their data feed API for 2000i. In fact, they no longer support 2000i. TradeStation has terrible support in general, but they really screwed their clients with 2000i.

    Also, beware of opentick, their data is full of bad ticks.

    tomhaden,

    Thanks for your reply.

    There are several companies which have written an interface to bring the Reuters or Bloomberg feeds into TS2000i:

    http://www.itservice.net/
    http://www.hypertrader.it/hserver.shtml

    How did they do it, if the API or some docs are not available?

    Thanks for your comment re OpenTick: how long did you try their datafeed, and can you offer any other comments ?
