    Can anyone test the following strategy ??

    Be very careful about optimizing your trigger values. You are simply curve fitting them to match the data set. You do not have sufficient trades nor data. Much more data and trades should be used to make these adjustments. The same with stops, etc. that are used to optimize your results. Of...

    Choosing Software

    I would also suggest you check esignal. The package that you would be interested in is $79/month annual prepay. I have been a user of esignal for about 4 years, and it is becoming a very complete software package. Bob

    Is anyone having problems contacting Tradestation by email today?

    I thought TS7 was only about $100/month with an account opened? Therefore, this would be the price of esignal data feed to TS2000! Using IB as a datafeed does not allow you to download historical data. Bob

    Norton Antivirus and Norton Personal Firewall question

    I have all three that you have discussed. As far as Antivirus, do you ever download anything? Well, then you need it! Both Norton products work well with the Linksys dsl/cable router you have discribed. I have four systems connected and all work well...no problems once configured correctly...

    ...Need software to feed TradeStation with Esignal datafeed... Any opinions?

    and I believe that the latest eSignal version is your best bet. And it is free! On Demand does not use Global Server and stores no data; just downloads what you need...not very reliable in my experience. Uniserver is now duplicated by the eSignal version, so no need to buy Uniserver if...

    automation question

    Also check www.dynaorder.com Good luck with your system. Dynaorder has a paper trading function not in TradeBolt. I would paper trade your system for several weeks, then put the $ on the line if it proves successful. Bob
