Tradestation, Brokerage, Automated Trading

Quote from Trader_Herry:

1)
Let's say I am going to run an automated system in Tradestation. I would like to send orders to third-party brokers like IB instead of Tradestation brokerage.

I'll take care of the coding of the trading system.
But what about the automated part?
After I have coded my trading system, what do I need to do to "automate it"?
How can I tell Tradestation to send signals/orders to third-party firms like IB? Any clue?

2)
I would like to hear more recent comments.
How do you comment Tradestation as a brokerage firm?
Good/bad? How good does it in running auto-system / executing auto-orders?


Reliable/stable platform?

Thanks for your responses.

I have found a company that has found some great ways to provide third party trade station execution outside of strategy runner and trade bullet with great fee structure and good data. the program is called vktrader.

I was previously using Tradestation but The only trouble that i have found with the TS is the execution i.e. not being filled, am i filled, orders being doubled and trippled or not being placed at all.

In short i am not having these problems anymore and i am also able to easily trade multiple accounts and multiple systems using single instances of TS and vktrader. This is not possible on strategyrunner. the whole thing is very easy to use. they also have a nice mechanism for trading limit orders.
