that chart looks nice. i guess after looking at qcharts charts for 5+ years we get used to a look.why should it be so hard. every other chart package i have ever used has it available. qcharts, real tick, quotetracker.i am just supprised that ts does not have such a simple option.
10 round turn commissions and the platform fee is free. Hey, not bad, not bad at all. A fella could do that and save some cash just by trading 10 separate contracts a month. Now, TS is looking for more volume than that ..... I think i will open an account there to try out the coding part, always looking for new things to keep the mind active. So if i am correct, 10 contracts a month and the next months fee is waived, Correct? Not accumulated as a deduction later? The price would then just be the exchange fees......
eqttrdr but IB is not a chart platform. The normal price for TS is $99.99 a month with a 5k brokerage account, even if you make no trades during the month. You pay the exchange fees as usual. According to TS website the commission on the ES is $2.36 per side with fees or total round trip $4.72, they lowered that from $5.00 last time i looked. lot cheaper than CQG..for sure Do 10 wash trades a month......
That's little pig thinking. TS system writing and testing engine used to be an awesome product -- but the last time I used it was before the added the order entry platform.
Which exchange fees? If you have AMEX, NASDAQ, and NYSE with level 2 on the Naz, costs are $12/month with Tradestation and $20/month with IB. So for this package, IB is more expensive. Also, TS makes available a large historic data base while IB offers only the current quote. So, I don't think you can make a flat statement that TS has terrible fees compared to IB. BTW-IB is my primary broker and TS is my backup broker, and I like IB a lot better than TS as a broker. However, IB has no acktesting/optimization capability and I don't like their charts. DS
This little piggie went to mkt.... I just want to try TS for the coding, not order entry. I have also heard they were not ready for the brokerage business. My point was simply that, pointing out a cheap way to do it, do not always take me so serious......as many know by now.... I have the regular order entry account with X.trader , do not need TS for orders.
