I like Amibroker. Tradestation is pretty great as well.

I'm a fan of both Amibroker and Tradersstudio.

I want to echo what dareminator has said - I'm a relatively new user of Amibroker and a long time user of Tradersstudio. I find, for creating systems, that Amibroker is just much, much faster for development, but it lacks the reporting and multisystem support that comes with TS. But Amibroker...

The idea of using correlation on the drawdown is an excellent one. Great suggestion.

Can you list/point me to an example?

Is there any support for strategies that are based on rotation rather than on entry/exit? So, a typical strategy for me involve rebalancing on a weekly or monthly basis based on some ranking criteria rather than a classic buy/sell rule.

I've been checking out Amibroker - $259 for real-time version, and I have to say I'm impressed with it. I have used just about everything, and it seems to me like the best for the price. I had been using QT, Esignal and Tradestation. Just a suggestion - might be worth checking it out...

What's new in 2.0? I can't find any reference to it on your website or in any of the forums. Thanks!

Hey Andrew, I use a fair number of rotational strategies where there isn't a classic buy or sell signal - rather, there is just a max number of positions and a ranking methodology for those symbols - the classic would be "buy the top five stocks based on a ranking of RSI". Can MC do this...

I have the Shiller housing futures up on my TWS, and while I see the contract bid/ask occationally change, I've never seen a trade - meaning volume - on any contract. I've been looking at the BOS 08 contracts (Feb, May, etc) - nothing. Am I missing something - should I being seeing volume on...

A few things come to mind: - ThinkorSwim - charts match your criteria but I don't think they have the Trade Ideas. - Quotetracker with Trade-Ideas. Quotetracker is very cheap - you'd have to pay for data separately (or use, say, Interactive Brokers). I use this combo with IB although I...

When you say "more sophistication" - what do you mean? What features are you looking for? More indicators? Backtesting? What's missing from Scottrade that you'd like to have?

Anybody have it or understand what it now includes? All they say on the website is "multiple strategies"...wondering if there are any other changes.

The only issue I've seen with the ATR method is that it can leave you having a large position when ATR/vol is low - just before a big event. So if we look at situations where vol is compressing, your positions should be bigger and bigger - fine if the position goes your way when vol expands...

Hmmm...interesting combo of stuff you're looking for. Take a look at: - Tradecision - SmartQuant - SeerTrading - RightEdgeSystems

Dude - I read the notice - and yes, I know a few people that trade that size lots intraday. And I also didn't imply they "needed" to give notice - I just found it interesting - nothing else.

Agreed - it could really kill someone's trading plan. I'm a bit surprised by the lack of warning and I'm wondering what's driving it. I wonder if they had to do a huge amount of margin calls last week.

I suspect it is a bit of both, maybe combined with tightening of credit...

Anybody know how many trades/contracts originated from IB? I wonder if that change will make any impact on volume....

My issue with Quotetracker is that I need historical data and all the integrations I've seen have you using bigcharts or something for historical data.
