Tradestation: The good, the bad or the ugly?

Hi all,

if you read the comments on tradestation on the typical pages, the result is pretty mixed. A lot of complaints, but also a lot a fans, which in general like the software not so much the brokerage service.

Because it's not possible to demo trade the platform. I would like to ask about some experiences with the platform, the order matrix and specially with data and service.

I plan to be more a scalper, so the funcinality of the order matrix would be interesting as well. Is it easy to enter and modify orders and to scale out manually?

The commissions seem to be ok and with 10 RT (futures) the platform fee is waived. Even if the 30 day trial they offer is more or less a joke, because you have to do the 10 RT if you don't want to pay the $99 the next month.

Any experiences are welcome!
