Question Tradestation Vs Think or Swim?

We're talking strictly for futures here - I wondered what other TL members thought about which broker has got the edge out of these two, especially for scalping?

I don't think Think or Swing can compare to Tradestation or NinjaTrader. Think or Swin is a good low cost platform but I see more serious traders using Tradestation or Ninjatrader.

TOS is a great platform for equities and really great for equity options. don't use it for futures, personally i wouldn't use either for futures.

Re: Tradestation Vs Think or Swim?

I don't use TOS for futures, I wind up using either Tradestation or Infinity. I like Infinity for scape and or Bracket trades.

I will confess that i use a lot of custom indicators and/or have programed setups on the Tradestation platform and have not spent the time to redo them for the TOS platform.
