Yes... I am considering leaving TS, but at the moment I'm thinking more about a bridge for the next month or so - to see if these latest problems get ironed out. I'd also hate to quit TS just when the big upgrade FINALLY comes out. I'm thinking at the very least I should give E-Signal a...

Do you happen to know who provides quotes to your other provider? TS still gets theirs through S&P Comstock, I believe. I also wonder whether your running TS6 alongside another platform has any impact on the lagging problem. The problems I have mostly seem to center on small caps, as...

Many problems I was having were solved when I applied the "heap memory" fix detailed in the TradeStationWorld web site (under a thread whose title includes the words "desktop heap memory") - a typical Windows-related, not TS-related problem. I haven't, for instance, had any crashes since...

Or check out this one for confusing quotes!

It seems to me (I'm not 100% sure) that the problems began around the time or soon after the last software upgrade - when they changed method of running P/L calculation (I prefered the old way, actually). I also recall a period when they were first having peculiar problems with L2 data on small...

I'm not sure about AMEX - I think AMEX has its own problems - and the chart-lagging problem is an old one that usually remain trivial or easy to address (depending on the cause/situation). The main problem I've been having is with L2 and the Order Bar being out of sync, often for extended...

Looks like you're dealing with the highest x (e.g., close, high, etc.) of the last y bars

Sounds like you might get a lot out of Tradestation, presuming that you're willing to put some work into getting past the basics of EL. You should probably plan on reading several books, on consulting user groups, and on engaging in extensive trial and error. Also, spreads and other...

To get better advice, I think you'd have to be a lot more specific about 1) your intended uses for the software, 2) what actually is available to you in the UK, 3) your level of programming experience, ability, and interest. TS6 (soon to be TS7, we hope) is far superior to 2000i in...

...and most of us have gone through something fairly similar, whether in trading or elsewhere... I don't think that trading just one simple set-up on one tradable all day, every day is easy: Successfully doing it would require a very high level of discipline - probably instilled by training...

Again, without knowing time frames and other critical details, it's hard to say what's most likely happening. I have seen similar effects when I've run a strategy in real-time, tick-by-tick during the day on, say, 15-minute charts, then refreshed or re-opened the same charts: The indicated...

There are several reasons why the built-in trailing stops (and other signals, too, for that matter) can work much differently on historical data than on "live" data - one typical reason having to do with backtesting resolution and bouncing ticks. IF (big if) you have clean, accurate tick-level...

http://www.drudgereport.com/ They're here, along with some other stuff... you think "penis gymnastics" will also be market moving?

Allianz. They still show it. One of the worst things about the economic downturn and collapse in advertising is that certain annoying commercials have been playing well past their spoilage dates...

Enjoy your thoughts, but, if this is just a "game" or a "hobby," why get so worried? If you told us that you had lost and/or given up huge amounts of money, were on the verge of total personal financial disaster, were now comparing the virtues of different methods of killing yourself, etc...
