You could charge 1/4 cent per share and I wouldn't use Tradestation--EVER!
I have experienced countless:
Crashes
Slow Data
20-minute hold times for support
Rude Support Staff
In addition, Tradestation's lack of basic filtering criteria (like those found in First Alert or Insight) makes it worthless for several basic real-time strategies.

Sounds good. But I was wondering if it's possible to download the historical inraday data for equities into ASCII?
B/c in addition to TS, I use other offline tools for analysis,etc.
thanks.

C'mon, Michaeal, spill it - approx when is estimated release date for new version with hot keys, etc?
Thanks,

If tradestation incorporates the radar screen without charging more $, they will become more attractive, but acquire traders they I feel they will have to drop to an all in .01 per share.
Suppose something of this nature were to happen, I would consider using their platform for trend trading. My scalping business would remain elsewhere.

Over the 4 months that i have been a tradestation customer i have not had one crash or slow data. Never had long hold times or rude customer service. Some customer service personnel have very little knowledge about tradestation or even a general knowledge about trading, But they have never been anything but polite and tried to be helpful.
New features for TRadestation: The abliity to have NYSE open limit orders on both sides of the same stock. E mail of confimations(so they can lower commissions again). The ability to scan the entire market and a fliter for the $ gainers so i don't see stocks that have 20 trades on the lists.
i may switch to real expensive, i mean real tick until tradestation gets the improvements
Thanks
Eric

This can easily be done in TradeStation 6. Here are the steps: Load the desired data into a chart, choose View Data Window from main menu and then click on the Save icon in the data window. You may want to check out www.tradestationworld.com. It's a site operated by our technologies affiliate dedicated to helping TradeStation users, and it has helpful discussion boards for software support and assistance.
Concerning slow data, I have noticed over the last few weeks that several NYSE stocks were receiving slow data updates or in some cases the bid/ask & bidsize/asksize were not updating. These quotes were being compared to Cybertrader and also other sources. And this was during slow market times. I've been a TS6 user since 2000 and this is not usual so I'm at a loss to explain the reasons for the recent slow data.
What I would really like to see in TS6 is a way for a third party program to send orders to TS6, i.e. an API. The current ability to autoexecute orders just doesn't cut it.
