Buying Tradestation

Recommended Posts

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' :eek:

 

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.

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 :o

 

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.

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.

TS is free if u set it up as your brokerage and make a piddly 10 round trips. well, free for the platform.

 

the data fees are more expensive than IB (ts charges for CME for instance), but for $30 a month, you can have CME, CBOT, PHil etc.

torero->

Sorry but I can't see the $99/ month, could it be when you're using TS as broker?

 

walterw->

No particular reason for the choice of market, I just thought it would be a good idea to learn the basics in my own region :)

Yes just started looking at prophet.net(thanks to your advice) ;)

 

dalby->

huh... but I need the OMX - Copenhagen Stock Exchange data so... but the more knowledge I get the more hooked I'm at trading other than the Nordics.

How reliable is the data for multicharts? Recommend it? How about execution and automation integrity?

 

I've been looking for an alternative to TS. I'm happy with TS except their clearing broker is not as good as other brokers I've seen, especially for forex market (DD!!! Dealing Desk!!!). If this one can do just as good for futures and forex, I may switch.

Since I am not sure what you need from platform, I will suggest you several options:

#1 - IB as data feed + quote Tracker ( $5/month) - simple charting package - no backtesting

#2 - IB as data feed + AmiBroker ( ~$200 or so) - charting and backtesting

 

#3 - IB as datafeed + MultiCharts ( from [http://www.tssupport.com]) ... I have not tried this package, but it is suppose to be compatible with Tradestation. It should run EasyLanguage code.

#4 - TradeStation 8.2 - with brokarage account is free if you trade 10 round trips on any futures contract ( not sure if TS support Copenhagen Stock Exchange )

Payback time... :)

 

Hello, just stumpled across this old post, where I was the thread starter. Back in marts 2007 I actually followed the advice for MultiCharts, I downloaded a trial version and bought the application later.

It ran a bit slow in the start, but later TSSUPPORT released a better optimized version and now they've just released version 2.1.999.999, 18 September 2007. This version is very quick I can tell, it calculates indicators in a rush and never chrashes or freezes :roll eyes:

 

I'm very happy for this product, it suits my needs perfectly and the price was actually ok also. I paid a one time fee for MultiCharts and signed up with eSignal for Nordic OMX Exchange (Copenhagen and Sweden Stock Exchange). The Esignal subscription costs me $115 in monthly fee.

 

Im just a happy camper... ;)

Hey januson have you had any problems running Tradestation indicators in Multicharts? I've read it's 'compatible', but I was wondering if you could give me an idea if you have any custom easy language indicators that have given you any trouble.

 

Thanks

 

George

Just go to Think or Swim. I've tried almost every broker out there and they offer the most for the least amount. They also have Think A.I. which is a artificial intelligence program that projects the direction for that day. All of their software is free with a funded account.

Just my 2 cents. I had trade station for awhile. I liked it just okay. But imho to Pricey for data. I am using Ensign Windows. now and am happy check out http://www.dacharts.com. my broker "infinity futures supplies data at no cost. Invester Rt looks good as well.

I also just started to Use Ninja were it is free for charting. as long as you have data. so I am just playing with it.

P.S. Hope it helps. Remember its just a platform and it won't make you trade any better.

The USD remained enigmatic in NY session but Asian session pulled it down indicating weakening USD.

Expect the Dollar to show some weakness in Asian and London session , while NY will decide

the direction.

As for the Pound we are expecting it to bounce up from the 1.5143 to 1.5169 zone.

Overall outlook for the USD pairs remains Weak to Neutral.

    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some. 
    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
