Lawrence, do you use your software's automated trading capability and if so, with which brokerage firm and how reliable is it?

I've been using NT with IB for about 6 months. Excellent piece of software and the simulation features for playing back any day is useful if you are learning to trade or want to validate what was done or test theories in simulation.
Be aware that the interface to IB is not fully documented in the help file and you should look in the help forum for a specific download. Similarly the Order Interface for IB needs to be set up and is a bit fiddly.
Lawrence's very honest assessment of the software is refreshing and accurate. As some other posters have said it is difficult to learn, but well worth the effort. It defines a collection of windows as a group and you can deal with each group as a single entity. The feature is nice (once you get the hang of it).
Recommended if you are looking for a solid trading platform.

Being a trader for so many years and used so many software along the way make me aware that users want straight answers.
Many clients doing the same in return and that helps a lot in improving NeoTicker.

Yes, I do both simulated and real trades through NeoTicker. That includes both automatic and discretionary trades.
We've found that is the only way to ensure the connectivity works correctly because demo mode of many bokerage interfaces do not really behave exactly the same when a real account is used.
The account I use more frequently is with IB, but I find no significant difference comparing to the other ones.
I posted about the connectivity issues already. Once you settle with a particular version of TWS + TWS API, then it is pretty reliable.

NeoTicker requires open API to work with.
I don't think TradeStation has one at this moment.

NeoTicker EOD does not require hardware key.
