TradeStation - pros and cons please?

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by Sponger, Jul 20, 2006.

  1. That's incorrect - TS has acknowledged this problem on THEIR end in the TS forums. They know there is a problem on THEIR end.

    Same thing with QM data lagging - it's not lagging on CQG or RealTick - again, TS has ackowledged it's on THEIR end.

  3. Not doubting you but if true, ESignal and TradeStation have the same technical problem with the same contract.

    I am looking at a ESignal/Multicharts chart of yesterday's EC with the same spikes that I show on TS - same time, same amplitude, identical in every way.

    Anyway, I wish all of you good trading with whatever tools you prefer.

  4. Actually it looks like they don't allow non-clients of theirs to even view the forums (confirmed by an email from them). I have been interested in TS just for the charting/backtesting but the fact you can't even view their forums seems like they want to hide something.

  5. Sorry mini, I did not know that. You can get a free trial though I think.

    The forums are not very negative as I recall. I don't recall much showing up there that they want to hide. I think they just consider it a service that you have to pay to get. Charging some admission keeps the bums out. Their forums were a place where you could have some serious discussion about trading last time I looked.

  9. That's good to hear. In the off chance that anyone from TS is looking here, it would be nice if you made the forums read only for non-registered users and allow the registered users to post. It could get more people interested in the product.

    For what it's worth, I have never used TS but have seen another guy use it..Like others, I've heard complaints about the brokerage execution quality, but frankly I think they have one of the nicest integrated platforms out there.

  10. Anyone else see the wonderful TS ticks today around 11:55am EST? If not, here's a screenshot of the ES. Happened on the ES, YM, NQ, ER2.

    Great data!

    Note: the actual price when this occured was 1264.50 approx. Just a little off.
