Hello All! I just wanted to introduce myself to the world of TL and say - fantastic articles and threads here on trading discipline! Obviously, there are a number of veteran traders here - thank you for giving all of us your insights on being successful at this as a profession.

For my first question, does anyone out there have an opinion and/or advice regarding tradestation? I started with Investtools, moved from there to think or swim, discovered Options not my interest, moved to TD Ameritrade (terrible tools for daytrading), and I am thinking TS may be my best move.

Any opinions?

Thanks again, and I look forward to interacting with many of you here in the forums.

What are you trading - stocks, options, futures, and/or forex?

I use TS for charts but not for executing trades. Mainly for research purposes and their charting is very slick with many feature, been using for more than 3 years now. I heard a similar product Multicharts very close to TS (check this forum), even uses all the TS formatted files too. I'm planning on looking at this one more closely and see if i can get a better deal if it offers the same features.

Brownsfan, I am focused on equity instruments (stocks), daytrading and swingtrading these with candlestick/price pattern/Volume analysis strategy selection and entry/exit.

Torero - yes I have also heard of Multicharts - but I am a pretty active trader, so I can get TS for free! Such a deal lol. Thanks for the assurance that its charts are powerful.
