Hello
It seems that the majority of people in here are using TS for their needs. I'm curious if anybody know how much tradestation costs and if this is a good solution for informational purposes for trading the Nordic Exchanges.

I've my own broker, so actually I don't need the tradingmodule in TS.

Any advice are welcome for a tradingplatform where it's possible to use own dataprovider if the vendor doesn't supply the OMX-Nordic Exchange.

NB, I dont like eSignal, I think their usability and user interface looks like something from the 90'

Kind regards
Janus

Unfortunately, TS has only recently introduced Eurex and Liffe instruments so I don't see them offering other smaller exchanges in the near future. I hear IB is quite good in data feed many exchanges throughout the world. I'm not IB user so I can't comment too much on this. Maybe someone here has some input. Good luck.

januson... you need have ts on one side on the other you need to buy owndata soft to feed ts... and on the other side you need esignal data feed that I belive they have your market covered.... maybe as torero says you can connect IB with owndata and feed TS.... some idea.... cheers Walter.

Is there any delay with this setup? Realtime?

TS has its own feed, I read from the TS forum with people having a hard time using third party feed. TS2000 was the package for purchase but I don't think they update them with new features like the subscription package (TS 8.2).

tradestation 8.0 costs $250/ month without broker. eSignal costs as I remember $82/ month

Roughly it totals to $350 in monthly fees - expensive for me

Well okay... thank you all, maybe I can afford that in the future. And if I can't then me existence at the market is inadequate imho.

I see 99$/month, are you sure we're seeing the same thing?

januson : why do you have to trade on your market ? cant you trade usa futures ? you could make it more cheaper, and to be sincere you dont need more than a good candles and volume that comes on any dom actually to get started ... even Mr paul is posting some simple but powerfull prohet.net charts, I dont know if you are following our new volume / candle setups saga... very simple stupid stuff and professional as well.... you would roughfly spend 50 bucks per month... on IB with ib charts 0.... give it another think... TS is wonderfull ( I admit) but its not the only way to trade succesfully.... cheers Walter.
