F-ing Tradestation down again...

I've had that plenty of times with TS. Shame that.

TS feed is not very reliable. I'd recommend you use eSignal as a backup / addition / solely if you trade very short-term, they're the most reliable feed available, and will be even better with the restructurization of IDCO, making eSignal the choice of the future.

Also, you can use IQFeed - is more reliable than TS feed...
IB's datafeed is very good, too.

I like Tradestations new adds. They look great, promise a lot and attract many new customers. All these new customers turn on TS, chart 100s of symbols, scan 3-4000 symbols using the radar stuff and the TS network gets killed.

TS needs a major upgrade to their servers or start limiting how much data a customer cab get through their servers.

You've got a very good point there, chinook!

TS is an awesome platform, this cannot be disputed - I use it everyday. But the symbol scanning must take enormous bandwidth! Imagine all the upstream/request + downstream, requested by thousands and thousands of users n'sync!
This just has to create lag and server crashed.

I wish they'd fix that. 1,000 symbols, IMHO, would be enough.
Or even 500. There aren't that many nicely tradable, liquid issues out there, anyway...


Sincerely,

Man, I thought I'd give 'em a try and see what they're like....kept it for two months and then dumped it...glitches almost daily.
 
Scientist,

I like the TS6 paltform but the data feed / network problems are not getting fixed. Whenever the market moves fast, something goes wrong. IB is my broker and I have to constantly compare the last trade from IB's plan with what I see on TS chart.
