Thank you all for the info.

None of the above is! they all do not offer portfolio backtesting except Wealthlab. TS only offers it with RINA (5000$) and it sucks. TS has failed to deliver it for many years one reason why I left it.

I agree on this one. I used CQG years ago at the bank and it was very good. They did not have any backtesting then. I do not need real time now and I would safe money for this service. Take a look at QCharts too.

Take a look at WLD. If you only need EOD then the website is good enough. I saw on the feature list that real time scanning is in the planning for the new version.

If you look for system testing on end of day systems I would use www.wealth-lab.com. It is free and has more features then most of the expensive software out there. Charting on the website is rather limited.

I am planning on buy a new tft monitor. What do you recommend, 2 small once or one big one. I love the new 23'' from Apple. Is there any way I can connect it to a PC? Any opinion/experiense welcomed.

When looking for a replacement for my TS4 I had a brief look at Behold www.bhld.com. It looked ok.

I'm not sure about converting from TS2000i to WealthScript but I had little problems converting my TS4 systems to WLD2. I have not looked much at esignal scripting language, but since no other software offers portfolio testing I decided to use WL and it is very good.

TS2000i you can choose your data vendor, no monthly fee but pretty expensive. I never used 2000i or TS6. Last Omega software I used was TS4 so there might be people who know better.

I just saw the bad review from S. Larson about wld. With all respect to his personal experience but he knows nothing about trading software. I have been using various products and WL is by far the best. It's so easy to create a system if you know just a little about programming. I am convinced...

If you have some programming skill you can use the WL page for free. Program your patterns and scan for them for the new signals.

You might want to read the articles from Thomas Stridsman in the Active Trader magazine.

If you have a way to predict the crossing of 2 moving averages, I will be a Bill Gates in a year (and I would not sell the method). If you have ever programmed a system that happened to look into the future you know what I mean.

There is a tool that connects RealTick with WLD2. I have not tried it and I am not sure how many people are using it. You may want to take a look at it. http://www.realtimesalsa.com/

In my opinion TS7 just offers more data. There are hardly any new features and it still lags basic back testing features. For 500$ I can get years of historical intra day data on the web, I can use it on my computer and I can do as many tests as I wish. So where are the great enhancements?

There is no way you can buy yourself a money machine. The key for being successful is to use simple rules and good money management. Money management has to be applied to the whole portfolio in order to make sense.

Are you talking about something like http://www.wealth-lab.com/cgi-bin/WealthLab.DLL/getpage?page=IndexLab.htm. I haven't used it and I am not sure if it works in real time.

As far as I know SuperChart is not supported anymore. It is hell to work with software that is not supported!

As they say: You need a million to make a million!

Chris, I think you are just unlucky. I never had much problem with there support but keep in mind, I never used them after they became more of a broker and they moved away from the software business.
