looking to trade between 5k and 10k contracts a month, are you saying it will cost 250 a month plus .25 to execute these trades at a broker like velocity? this would be on top of their commissions correct? this would compete directly with something like running x trader at velocity and paying...

can someone clarify why there is a need for tradebolt, I was under the assumption that tradestation would automate trades on its own?

Hi tradebolt- this may be a completely ridiculous question as I am new to the automated trading world however, how/what is the advantage of using tradebolt over just using the automated trading built into tradestation? Thanks

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

anyone trading er2 this morning? lack of trend outside of the open?

why dont you post your p&l for your trading?

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

are you trading futures or equities?

seems that a lot of people complain about the matrix on tradestation but people love the charting, if the matrix is slow is the charting not just as slow? Any comments about the execution? All the above questions relate to trading futures. thanks

its quite volitile, I can see that and I can see how the fast moving times could get tough but not looking to trade ticks, more trends during the day, any input on S&P midcap 400 futures? seem volatile similar to russell 2000, anyone trade them? not quite as liquid? but similar trending and...

it has great trends throughout the day though, 3 to 5 points and today a couple even larger, bit of a swing trade on a intraday basis as opposed to multiday swing

agreed, what worried me was all this talk about factoring in $40 for slippage per trade

thanks polpolik, thats what I meant, some people make these assumptions about slippage being these huge numbers that make systems fail, as in $500 per trade or I have heard $40 per contract per trade, a bunch of random assumptions which can add up quickly.

nice, thanks what broker are you using?

how much slippage would you figure, close to none? how many contracts with minimal slippage? thanks
