No. But you can get data to/from Excel in real-time using 'Global Variables'.

It can take a while to get responses to coding questions. I've posted a reply to your question on the TS forums.

I was asked to post this T&S window. You can format it how you want.

Major differences are... 1. With TS2ki you buy the software and that's it. With TS8 you have a monthly fee. Though see above re. getting TS8 for free. 2. With TS2ki you have the database on your local PC. You need to buy data for your database, maintain it and get a realtime data...

Yes. Though you'll obviously still pay exchange fees.

How long your optimizations take will depend on 1. how much data you're processing 2. how many optimization iterations you are going through 3. how well your code is written If you're processing on 1 min data, can you move to 5 min? Your optimization will be 5 times faster. Then if...

If you do 'File', 'Open Workspace...' from the TS menu there are some example workspaces provided by TS (can't remember which one's they are). This forum doesn't allow the uploading of TS workspaces. You'd be better off asking on the TS forums.

I also posted this in response to your question in the TS forums...

Your strategies are held on your local PC. TS doesn't have access to them. They can, or course, take the buy/sell orders you send to them and try and work out what your strategy is but that's the same for any broker. If anyone thinks TS has some secret software that is copying their hard...

My understanding (though I accept I may be wrong) is that this plan starts on 1st December and TS usually go back a month i.e. if you've done 10 round-trips in November then you wont pay for December.

Have you looked at NeoTicker?

...almost right. :) TS actually stamps its data down to 1 second. But the client applications currently only handle time down to 1 minute.

With minute and above data it all just comes from the TS network. There's no need to store anything. Though you can download all their data and save it to ASCII files if you want. With tick data it's stored in a local cache on your PC and you can build it up as long as you want. Several...
