RJO wants a passport? The woman told me other id is enough maybe she just lies. So does tradestation well that explains that. I put a complaint into tradestations CEO about the passport issue I guess its RJO that wants it.
Don't mean to break your stride angry but maybe this thread needs to get back on track... The riginal question was based around software for strategy testing, with a preference for Tradestation... To be blunt I think Tradestation is yesterday's product. Doesn't mean it's terrible but there are other out there better. None are ideal but I'd recommend Tradersstudio which has excellent all around features and has a development profile which is genuinely geared to trader productivity. Support is good too, which will be important for neophytes.
Don't have experience of AMI I'm afraid. I think there are posts on these boards that do compare them and TradersStudio comes out favourably in most of those comparisons.
Please check out the following threads: a) Review thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=104393 b) There was some discussion of TradersStudio in this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=111293&perpage=6&pagenumber=3 They might help you.
