Having given up on TradeStation ever adding portfolio level analysis, I've created a simple program for creating and evaluating portfolios and I'm looking for a few people who are willing to test it and provide some feedback. The features are currently very limited but I would like to be sure...

It is not that I am missing the point but that I don't agree with it. Handing out names of successful systems to people will not be to anyone's benefit. This is of course my own opinion and many may disagree. Part of being successful in any trading and in just about anything else in life is...

Yes, I have. I don't intend to post any more for reasons I've previously mentioned. I hesitated to even post this one but I could clearly see that you wouldn't be satisfied until an actual name was given. Other good systems are out there to find, if someone isn't willing to put forth the effort...

Since you really seem to need some specific names I'll just give you an example of a simple system that has been around as long as just about any and still consistently makes profits every year when traded exactly as intended by the system vendor: R-Breaker.

I've purchased quite a few systems and seen many more and none of them are anywhere close to being a moving average crossover. Whoever "reports" this to you is clearly part of the problem. If you buy some system out of the back of a magazine or some black box because of some flashy ad then such...

You bring up a good point Thunderdog and it is something that people should definitely be aware of. Slippage can be a very significant factor with some systems and must be accounted for. I mostly trade medium to long term systems where slippage isn't critical but if you are looking at a day...

I also believe that the majority of responses in this thread will be from people that have failed with systems but I believe it will be mostly due to the reasons I mentioned and less because of the systems themselves. Also, I would post the systems I use but that would simply further the...

I develop a lot of my own systems but I have in the past and still do use systems that I've purchased. Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe I do far more research than most but all of my purchased systems have consistently made me money. It takes a certain personality type to trust and properly execute...

Mazotrade, I have a TradeStation account and have never had any issues with the short sale inventory. I have radarscreen track over 700 symbols that I scan daily which include NYSE, Nasdaq, and AMEX stocks of all volume levels. Out of all those there are only 12 listed as Hard-to-Borrow which...

Wow, did you try switching servers a few times. I was trading both equities and futures all day on Tradestation and wasn't disconnected once.
