    New Tradestation threshold for free data

    Currently you have access to 30 days of tick data. They are planning on increasing this to 6 months of tick data, but I don't know when this will happen.

    TS2000i thoughts

    Assuming you have more than a 14k modem then I'd say there isn't much point having TS2ki anymore. The reason for keeping TS2ki was a) it is free and you had to pay for TS8, and b) you could import your own data whereas with TS8 you were reliant on the (limited) data feeds from the TS network...

    Optimizing a Trading System

    Time is like any other system parameter - you need to optimize on it to make sure it is stable. A system that runs well on 60 min bars but not on 55 min or 65 min bars is unstable. I wouldn't necessarily expect a system that runs on 60 min bars to work well on 5 min bars.

    Coding an Expert in TradeStation

    As Nana Trader says this isn't something you should try. If you want to have unattended strategies then you really need broker assist. There are several companies out there that will take your strategies and trade them for you (for a fee or course).

    Coding an Expert in TradeStation

    FX daily data in TS goes back to November 2000. FX intraday back to November 2002. TS have stated that they're not going to increase this. If you want to test on more data then you can import your own data files. I've attached a sample strategy testing report. You need to unzip it and...

    Coding an Expert in TradeStation

    Very simply it's done like this... if close crosses over xaverage(close, 55) then buy next bar at market; if close crosses over xaverage(close, 144) then buy next bar at market; if close crosses below xaverage(close, 55) then sell next bar at market; if close crosses below xaverage(close...

    Neoticker

    I looked at your demo but couldn't find a way to optimize strategies. I've seen that you're introducing this in a new version. When is this? Thanks

    Automated System With Limit Orders

    There is a (free) add-on to TS 8.x called 'Collections for EasyLanguage' (ELC) that allows you to simulate what you want. It works by peaking one bar into the future to see if the market price went through your limit order price. If it did you can place your limit order knowing it would...

    Dilemma in creating a system ...

    Because there isn't a system out there that will provide what you want. You need to run multiple, less than perfect systems, with good money management. Either that or your expectations are just too high.

    No. You'd need to speak to TS.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is only for corporate clients, not retail traders.

    backtesting/data

    I have TS 8.1 Build 2967 SP1. It is the production version, not beta. TS release their software a couple hundred users per day (for support reasons). So everyone will get it as the weeks go by. There are some inevitable bugs (with other features, I haven't found any with the data import) so...

    TradeStation as good as it ranks?

    The initial releases of 8.1 were a complete cock-up. However, the latest releases appear to have fixed the major problems, especially the performance issues. Several people have reported that the latest builds of 8.1 are now running faster than 8.0. Certainly, the initial releases of 8.1 were...

    Volume Percent Change

    I would have thought any software that has programmable indicators can do this. I use TradeStation and it 101 indicators that do similar things.
