Adrian,
TS2ki bugs. Serious bugs. Moving to TS6 it is nice not to have the
data base problems but I need more than they supply. Also
Tradestaion now changes the platform regularly and caused some
problems for some of us. Yes they are much better now. Fortunately
there are other platforms that are good now and much more responsive
than Omega/Tradestation ever was. They are not just a trading
platform anymore. I don't like that too much.

Without desiring to go off on a pointless sidetrack discussion....I believe
the bugs or errors you refer to are largely on the fringe and have little to
no effect on 99% of the TS users. As for not having to maintain your own
database, I also tend to think that 99% of TS users are more than happy with
this. Especially when it comes to something less than daily timeframe. I
do agree the bugs should be fixed..why not keep everyone happy....but that's
not reality it would seem. It is largely irrelevant though to the point I
was making and the point Mark was making. I am assuming that he believed
they were going downhill fast was NOT because of these bugs. That would be
severely delusional. I was hoping he might point out some other reason(s) I
had overlooked.

Just remember they are the same guys. They never admit the flaws and
pretty much don't fix them. More features more problems. Can you
handle their changes in the way you trade? I can but don't want to.
No more of my money to Tradestation. Good competition out there now.
Thank goodness. We owned TS4 and TS2ki and our data. Not true on the
newer stuff. So why not change to someone better.
As to Pierre Orphelin's comments well who cares. He is a seller of
Tradestion and other crap so as far as I'm concerned he is a ... Oh
can't go that far. Needless to say what he says is usually just BS.

How are Tradestation Securities going downhill fast? Their software
continually improves and adds new features. They are very competitive with
their rates. The company is increasing revenue and earnings quite strongly.
The founding owners are showing they are smart and taking some of their huge
profits off the top. Just as any sensible investor would do. Yes, I'm sure
there are some minor unfixed bugs in the software. I'm sure their support
sometimes isn't what we all desire. But name me one company on the planet
that doesn't have those issues from time to time as well. Perhaps you can
elucidate on something I'm not aware of. And no, I have no connection with
the company, merely stating the facts.

I would say that is fallacious. The posts on Elite Trader recently about the
spotty server performance of Tradestation....and then about the incredibly
MASSIVE "TRAD" stock selling by none other than Billy and Ralphy recently
....are quite telling. Tradestation is going downhill fast.
There are new kids on the block....namely Thinkorswim (great service,
support, reliability...terrible programmability) and NinjaTrader (great
everything, even documentation !).
Multicharts and Amibroker are also in the running...albeit they are in the
back.
Interactive Brokers is just a crap-shoot...their API is so full of holes,
it's like swiss cheese...
and of course, they use outsourced programmers.(touch of bitterness ? YOU
BET !)
