agreed, seems like that is one of the biggest complaints about ts, too many things, bogs down the system and you get lost!

doesnt appear anymore difficult than some of the other matrix out there, what makes this one more difficult/complex than any other?

so as of now are you backtesting against the continuous and then using the actual contract to trade? when they update ts you will just use the code to trade the continuous? when did the last upgrade come out? what are your trading timeframes? any issues with ts on a short term trade like...

wouldnt you then have some disparity if you had an open trade when they roll it over or an open trade at expiry?

additionally, how do they calculate the continuous contract, always use the front month? at what point do they move?

hmm, didnt know you could do that, would make it much easier for auto trading, whats this 2 data work around you speak of, why not just trade the actual contract? too many changes to the code every time the contract expires?

anything significant to look forward to?

what are they adding to 8.2?

looking at some testing that I have done, one thing I noticed was that it appears the system assumes the highest --lowest, based on conditions-- price when intrabar order generation is on, how is this accurate? correct me if I am wrong but this is only known by the system when testing, what the...

what about global futures?

someone had told me that the stops were not held at the exchange when using tradebolt of sr, is anyone familiar with this?

what kind of slippage is reasonable to expect in es and er2 trading?

what if your strategy is much faster, say round turns every five minutes to 30 minutes looking to take out just under a point in 5 mins or so to several over a half hour.

you dont find that the automated trading is too slow for futures? what kind of slippage are you getting on es or er2?

I am looking for the fastest broker software combination, no bs, no sales pitches (I know this website is littered with them) I want to trade futures, quick turns as fast as one minute round turn, possible hold for 30 minutes. no bs, just quick, reliable turns

great answer! I will look into it further, thanks

seems like quite a hard sell unless you can prove that this is significantly faster than tradestations own automated service, seems like if you were a tradestation customer there is no reason to use this service unless you are trading forex which I imagine is a small percentage of their customer...
