Trade Station

One of TradeStation's most significant advantages is that it enables you to design, historically test and optimize your own custom equities, options, futures and forex trading strategies before you risk a penny of trading capital.

For options traders, that means that you can back-test your assumptions on the underlying asset—using decades of historical data—to help you build your market outlook.

This breakthrough is possible thanks to a proprietary technology called EasyLanguage®. It lets you describe your ideas using simple, English-like statements and trading terms, very similar to how you would describe them to another trader. In fact, TradeStation's EasyLanguage is the industry standard for describing trading strategies. It's used by traders worldwide and often published in major trade publications and industry articles.

 Using them for 5 Years!

Pros: Excellent Software

Cons: None

I have been using TradeStation trading platform for the last 5 years for equities and have found the application solid, good performing, and easily programmable for indicators and strategies. The company is publicly traded and has been excellent to deal with. They previously used to set up FX accounts for trading through Gain Capital (they still may) but with release 8.3 they began allowing trading direct with their platform. They do not have a dealing desk and your orders go straight to market. I have traded FX with them during the Gain Capital years (less than satisfactory) and now for the last few months using their platform. I couldn't ask for a better platform. I have several accounts with them (IRA, equities, futures, FX) and can watch and trade on all of them. You can place trades between the bid and ask and you are charged a commission instead of the pip spread (about 5 bucks for USD/JPY). They do not deal in mini contracts on their platform. I do not have any complaints with them and find they have been excellent to deal with. Also, no lag in the market during volatility. No, I am not their planted schill...I trade with my own money, and have used several other FX platforms including RFXT, MBTrading, ACM, FFDD, and GFT. I haven't gotten as good of service from any of the other providers.
