Didn't they at one time use REFCO for futures accounts ;) Reminds me of one of my favorite pair of quotes from TS: 1. "TradeStation Group, Inc. (NasdaqNM: TRAD), through its operating subsidiary, TradeStation Securities, Inc., offers the TradeStation platform to institutional...

Hi Spxdes, I don't see anything wrong with your frustration, many traders go thru much worse by trading something they think will work only to lose a lot of money; hopefully, this did not happen to you. There are a few threads in here worth reading, for example the following one that...

Ebo-is your statement online? My latest statement is still September's. Who do you know at TS to get this kind of service. I have an equity account, so maybe you have a different type account and that is why you already have your statements as you need different accounts depending on what you...

So, does this mean never do biz with someone who had troubles in the past? Have they fixed the problems? My experience with IB has been very good, but they are not a good broker if you need handholding (not meaning you, but anyone else reading this). TS continues to have troubles. EG...

I agree, I do most of my trades at IB. How about IB buys TS, putting together good software with a great broker. DS

Eric, TS does not disclose the number, but in their usual "customer friendly manner" they do publish a difficult to use list. AriP, who posts very usefull information over at Tradestaion forums, puts out a daily list and count in an easy to use format (strange that TS won't provide its...

Agree, thanks Tradestation for a big improvement in your brokerage business. DS

Here is a response from Dean at Tradestation to a similar question: "The strategy automation execution system on the platform will attempt to recover from a disconnect and many times is successful in doing so. However, I'm going to confirm your suspicion that it is very risky if not downright...

Assuming you can get 5 years of data from TS (you need a trading account with them for 99/month plus the initial account funds plus exchange fees or pay about 250/month if you don't), the answer is yes. TS sometimes gives you a trial run for free, call one of their salespeople to see if they...

The city of Houston, Texas after encountering many problems evacuating for Hurricane Rita have issued a revised evacuation plan: City officials just announced the official Houston 2005 Hurricane Evacuation Plan: Hispanics use I-10 West to San Antonio Cajuns use I-10 East to...

The market tends to react as it wants. If the mkt is bullish, it will view the report as bullish and vice versa. DS

Missed your point, a hazard of online communications by typed forums, but I do share the entertainment. Sometimes I wonder if people are serious about some the really off the wall stuff you see. BTW-I have a theory of how economic news is reported and it is not far from the hot dog...

"Everyone" knows the govt manipulates the cpi, etc. I was wondering if you have a more perfect indicator you might share with us or a link to one someone else has developed. DS

Funny comment as a few years back when the $$$ was trading much higher, it was the folks from the Euro Zone lamenting their currency was "worthless". DS

Nah-the US will invade Alberta and make it the 51st state or maybe invade and take over all of Canada, except Qubec. Too French for Bush! There is also synergy after the invasion: Bush could put his pic on the $1 coin and it could still accurately be called the "looney". DS ps-IMO...

Bush's appointed panel on tax reform released some of its recommendations and they are not reform but a giant TAX INCREASE: 1.. Limit the home mortgage deduction. 2. Make taxable employer contributions for health insurance. see: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9665431/ This is just a tax...
