Hi Andrew, while mc is much more powerfull... and it has features ive always wanted that ts doesnt...... for me to trade with mc, I_... features are most critical. Cant trade without it. For me to use mc as developement, there are cosmetic issues which I hate, but are probably very simple for you to fix. in priority 1) 2d optimisation charts just like ts. the fact that ts still doest have 3d charts after all these years is just one of many reasons why i cant believe how behind they are) .. I know the 3d charts have all the same info, but its just more cumbersome/slower/more powerful to use. 2) 3d charts are hard to interpret. you need lines that link to the axis. Please see the ones I drew in by hand. (light pink) If you look at offset, its hard to be sure where the horizontal lines connect to. See enclosed png file. 3) Performance reports. What I want is total $, pf, no of trades, ave trade, max win, closed drawdown at a glance. This takes two pages to click on, in mc while ts reports have it on the main section. Seeing as I do this zillions of times per day, its very annoying as mc is much slower for me to do this. 4) Support hours/Ib live data drops out each day. this is a ib mc issue, not a ib issue. it is not a mc openecry issue. your support staff may fix this for me, but 11pm support my time is very bad for me. If you could be open till 3pm central usa time, that would make me much happier. (8am australia time) 5) some missing el functions ie At$ ,TradeTimeEX, commentary function (even ts2000i had this) 6) export reports in mht or html. I dont want to buy office for my developement computer, and mc cant created xls without it. (installing open office doesnt help) thanks for listening
The matter ends for now. I bought owndata and multicharts more because Im so unhappy with tradestation. This means I no longer im reliant on their data.
