    Thank you for your opinion. If it would not
    be asking too much, would you be kind
    enough to be a little more specific .

    Thanks again.
     
  4. I've been playing around with TradeSignals over the past few days. Very interesting software. My issues with it are as follows:

    - A german company - you can't currently buy the software/service here in the US (I'm just using a trial). The other downside is support is, well, challenging. The online forum is german only, and the tech support staff seems to be around for very limited hours.

    - No "run" button. Their software is designed to be constantly updating. This works well in many cases (scanning, etc.) but the software itself is very slow to update when you're running a system and making changes because it tries to update the system after each change. So, say you are trying to modify two parameters - you have to wait until it updates the portfolio for the first one before you change the second one.

    - I find the interface a bit Mickey-mouse.

    - No offline editing - you have to be online to use the service.

    On the other side, it has a quite impressive feature set:

    - Genetic tools (which neither QD or RE currently have.

    - Good charting capabilities.

    - Realtime data feeds via Reuters - so you can run the system in real-time.

    In general it looks like an interesting package if they make some strides in setting up shop here in the US. It doesn't provide the flexibility of either QD or RE but would be good for someone just starting in system development.

    I try the demo of TradeSignal and it looks very interesting. It is great to have in a single tool : a screener, charts and news. The trouble is the news are in German. It is possible to set up RSS feeds but unfortunately it is not possible to access stocks' feed.

    Does anyone know a workaround for this?

    Is there a single RSS feed that allows to get news for all US stocks?

  7. No work around for any of it yet - we'll have to see if they grow a US presence.

  9. I'm using the trial version now and find it quite good
    in many respects. However, I think it could be greatly
    improved by adding the following:

    1) being able to drag to expand and contract the the y and x
    axis.
    2) pop up charts that can be dragged outside the platform
    and saved in that position.
    3) pop ups for all windows(charts, news etc.) with an 'always
    on top' function.

    DO YOU BELIEVE IT WILL HELP YOU MAKE MONEY?
