Hello all...
New to the forum and think it's great! World of useful info in here! just loaded up Tradestation 8.2... couple of newbie questions...

1) Is 8.1 more reliable or was I better to download the newest version?


Ive been using TS for about a year now, and I love it. Very reliable and very good pricing. Ive been using 8.2 for a while now and I haven't had any problems with it. They roll out new versions slowly ( eg, people with acct #'s 1-100 are first, then say 1 or 2 weeks later 101-200, etc--this is just a crude example I'm really not sure how they decided who gets to the new version.) The point is that there are people before you who have had the platform and hopefully by the time it gets to you most of the bugs have been worked out. Eventually, you'll be forced to upgrade to stay compatible with their servers. So I would, and have, use the newest version.

Cant help you with the other questions since I dont use that stuff.
