Quote from joesan:
I think when you have IB+metaserver/owanda+TS2000i/TS8 as the datafeed and charting software, the choice of order transmission software is multiple: hyperorder worked fine for me but nowadays I prefer tradebullet or ninjatrader( was previously trademagic) . But remember, there is still another integrated combination from one single provider: IB+Owndata 2+TS8+Owntrade . (Available at http://www.tssupport.com/ ) OwnData 2 allows you using third party(IB) data in TradeStation 8 and OwnTrade supports direct execution of orders generated by TradeStation 8 strategies.
Try and find which one you are comfortable with. It may take you quite some time to get accoustomed to the platform, but once you settle down, they are stable.
