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

Thanks,

Paul

Here's what I can tell you. I've worked with TradeStation 7 and it's currently being tested by our quality assurance team. I know QA is planning a long, thorough test period before it's released. No release date has been announced. Bill Cruz is planning on writing an article soon for www.tradestationworld.com that previews its functionality.

Sometimes I'm afraid that I'll finally place a trade for FARM just from having seen it so many times...

When I looked at TS website a couple of days ago, I thought the new commission structure was the following:

1.2 cents/share for the first 500 shares
0.6 cents/share for the shares over 500
AND
TS would substract 2 cents from each order

So the commission for e.g. 2000 shares would be $14.98.

But when I looked today, I can't find anything about those 2 cents beeing substracted from each order.

Am I mistaken about those 2 cents?
Thanks.

The goal of our new, lower per share commissions is to offer our clients a straight-forward, easy-to-calculate commission plan that offers more value than ever. In addition, as a symbolic gesture, we decided to deduct 2 cents from the total commission of each Equity order to let our clients know how important their feedback ("two cents") is to us.

Since then, the feedback from those very clients has been that deducting two cents from every order is confusing, and makes commissions harder to calculate--which of course is the opposite of our intention. So, based on client feedback, we are no longer removing the two cents from the total commission of each order.

We apologize for any confusion that our "We value your two cents" policy may have caused. We believe the value of our new lower per share commissions (1.2 cents per share for first 500 shares, and .6 cents per share for each share over 500 shares) speaks for itself, and we remain committed to continuing to share the benefits of our success with our clients in the future, and continuously reacting to your feedback and suggestions.

I use TS as a non-broker account, 200 USD per month. With the broker account is there any way to automate routing orders to a specific exchange without having to click on any dialog boxes, etc?
