Guys, I just recently put my hands on PT Multistation: ( Link Deleted by Moderator) and was floored

The developers are from Ukraine and they definitely managed to arrive to a concept of a trading platform of my dreams (excepts for the charting which sucks).

The concept is simple:
(i) a trading and charting platform that supports many coding languages (EasyLanguage, MQL and C#);
(ii) a platform that you can connect to many data feeds at the same time (from what I was able to grasp from the forum the developers' team adds a new feed within a week from a request by customers - guys are pretty fast;
(iii) a platform that has a growing number of supported brokers (from stocks through forex, options to spread betting); you can place discretionary and automated trades and manage multiple accounts;
(iv) a platform that is freakishly easy customizable (all items are dockable and lockable);
(v) a platform that has Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 easy interface and navigation;
(vi) a team of developers that is customer-oriented and does not grumble if they have to do something like e.g. add a new broker.

I am attaching a few screenshots so that you could get the idea of what this piece of software is capable of. I seriously think that when they improve their charting (hopefully they will reach the quality of MultiCharts), they will become the best trading platform.

The application is rather big - it occupies 90 MB of my storage, but this is what one should expect from a piece of software that was written for traders with multiple needs in mind.

If only they could improve the charting (bar alignment, trendlines, etc.)....

Try their free demo and tell me what you think, if you have time.

very cool. I have been looking for other platforms out there that are easylanguage compatible... didn't even know about this one.

It seems that small brokers like OEC or Transact do not know this platform but top brokers start to recognize it, e.g. Rosenthal Collins for forex: ( Link Deleted by Moderator)

I tried it, it certainly has potential but it was just a personal vibe of the thing that I did not like so I will not persist with it.
While I think it certainly has lots of potential and might revisit it down the track.

I especially didn't like / hated their chating and drowing tools. Horrible.

Tresor, thanks for starting this thread and your useful feedback about our PT multistation terminal for traders.

Actually, we were wondering if you could expand on your couple of negative comments about the "...horrible chatting and drawing tools." It would be great if you could tell us specifically what you did not like about them and why...

Thanks again

I would need to get a new demo and make some screeshots to explain I what meant by horrible charting and inconvenient drawing tools.

As far as drawing tools are concerned I didn't like the concept of placing them on the chart. I would rather prefer to have them placed on the bar, like in MT4.

As far as charting goes make this excercise: draw a trendline - the start of a trendline will be point A, the end will be point B, then create an extention / ray of this trendline in a way that this ray will be crossing a price bar somewhere in future.

Then change the resolution from 1 minute to 3 minutes to 1 hour to 4 hours, etc. What you will notice is that point C will vary GREATLY from one resolution to another resolution. E.g. when on 1 minute resolution the ray crossed the price bar at 122, on 5 minute resolution the ray may very well cross the price bar at 132, and on 30 minute resolution the ray may cross the price at 112. You do not know which trendline to trust.

This is a result of incorrect bar thickness and / or bar spacing on respective resolutions.

MT4 cannot do it properly either, neither JForex can do it properly, nor many other platforms I tried. The only charting software that is acceptable for me in this respect is MC.
