I can see some of your point but I believe that missing features are on the
list for next year.

Subject: RE: best testing software for intraday trading?
It is my understanding that WL V5 does NOT do multiple model testing and is
also currently missing many of the features that WL4 had.
Even though multiple model testing was in the top 2-3 most requested feature
for many many years.
So the BIG upgrade to the new version, while in a new language (making all
WL4 code redundant) and faster, is in many ways merely a step sideways and
in others a step back.

For portfolio testing WL is idea, since it was created with exactly this in
mind; but I guess you all know it by now. ;)

1. It only allows one market/one model to be tested at a time.
2. It doesn't have portfolio analysis capability.
They are the major problems it has. There are add-ons to correct the above,
but they are clunky and the solutions are slow.
Unless you are running a portfolio of trading models on multiple futures
markets, you really cannot comprehend the fundamental and critical
importance of being able to see the affects your research has at the
portfolio level. The most obvious example/error that most people will make
is dismissing a trading model because it loses a small amount of money. On a
portfolio level it may have entirely different ramifications.
On a one market/one model basis though, Tradestation is an excellent
product, and in fact one of the best.

So having read all the comments on the subject, I ask: What is wrong
with TS8.x.
