tradestation

have heard the same thing several times, seems equities are fine, charting is the best and futures execution and matrix seems to lag

 

I have been trading TS8 and TT side by side now for 6 months for a fund ive been working with and It is my solid belief that anyone who is not absolutely a high end roller is wasting their money on TT. If I were paying the fees while trading this fund, i Just wouldn't do it. i wouldn't pay for TT.
now about ts8's matrix. in the past, i have
had problems with their matrix. but since they have released 3159, i haven't had any problems. but you do have to make sure you have the correct hardware like say 2gigs of memory. it just goes with the TS8 territory.

EVERYTHING on Globex gets bottlenecked a little on Fed Days!
I am overall satisfied the past 6 months on TS8.1.

 

I like TS charting. Can't say anything about matrix, I use Ninja platform.

 

Good to know you can use NT with TS. I really don't like the look of
the matrix on the CD they sent me but obviously I haven't tried it yet...

 

is there any additional delay or disadvantage to using the automated ts rather than manual entry?

 

the martix is ok on ts but the line quotes suck and are way behind the matrix. i heard they use different feeds. ib's futures fills are much quicker
