Regarding Trade Station, -- perhaps you should try
using TradeStation for awhile and see if you like it. You might find that you
like its combination of features better than those specialized products and
services such as Amibroker and eSignal. I did not care for it,
but evidently many people do. For that matter, some traders still
prefer CQG for their data and charting.

Subject: [amibroker] Use Tradestation in
place of Esignal/MyTrack/Amibroker/Sierra
Hi,
I don't understand why shouldn't I be using
Tradestation in place of
all these various products which are not
integrated properly?
IB
====================
Cheap brokerage and
free data but no storage and backfill of
data
Esignal
=========
Good data but expensive and charting
package free
Sierra
===========
Only Charting Package no free
data
Mytrack
===========
Cheaper data but no good charting
package and not a cheap broker
Amibroker
==============
Only
Good Chartin Package, No data and no Brokerage service.
Free data
available via IB but can't store it easily and even then no
backfill.
With QT it may be able to backfill and get relatime data via
IB but
does not work at the moment.
Hence I would suggest compare
all the prices and add them up as a
monthly charge. You would come to the
conclusion Tradestation is the
best and cheapest.
$99 dollars a
month, state of art platform/charting/testing etc,
Cheap brokerage with
free data as well. Chnace of this $99 being
waived too if you do lots of
trade in a month.
Now why should I use Esignal and pay them $99 just
for data and
charting?
Why use any amibroker/sierra or mytrack when
total cost comes moe
than $99 whatever way you trade unless you do only
2-3 symbols which
is impractical anyway.
Let me know your thoughts
guy??
Thanks
Choco
