I was looking into using tradestation since I can do all of my trading on one platform, I see they have won many awards for best software and so on.
I have the demo cds coming in the mail as they do not allow you to demo them so I was wondering how would you rate tradestation. I beleive my mind is already made up to open a couple of accounts with them but I want to hear from a couple of guys here who uses them.

The commission is not that much on a standard lot, not even an extra pip. It's worth it to do all my one stop shopping there

There is a $100/mo charge which if your an active trader will be waived.
I believe they no longer have a fixed rate on FX thus the commission.
They use easy language if your familiar with that.
You can get help with it from their website , but it's slow.
Their trading desk is the worst if you need any help with trading errors or other explanations.
