How does the tradestation backtester compare with the metatrader backtester?

If you are into system development, I have found that TradeStation is by far the best tool available. In comparison to MT4, there is absolutely no comparison. I used MT4 for my system development for six months before a friend opened my eyes to TS. I havn't looked back since. It is worth their fee if you are a serious trader and can get the use out of it.

Thank you for your replies.
Is sourcing quality tick data for tradestation easy?
What are the specific things that set the tester appart?

Yes. TS is the way to go.
However I do not like the fact that they only use GAIN for their spot trading.

The thing is that you can (and should) trade CMEs FX Futures so.. its all good.

Its much cheaper to trade Futures anyway.

sometimes, yes. depending on which way your position is going and how long you will keep it open.

and i agree, trading through TS sucks, i just use the platform for charting, testing, and programming. i really think they have the best platform for quants at any level.

Do you use Esignal? IQ feed? or other with own data?

Which is the better feed?

Also, does anyone use T-3(fibtool) with Tradestation?

I used tradestation for trading futures. This was a bad idea .
Order execution was way to slow. And i mean really slow && cost me a lot.
The program crashed a lot on me aswell. but at least it looked really good ;-)

From other brokers i heard that most future traders use TS but trade via a different broker. That makes sense for me and the story checks out so far.

I'm now interested in having a intergrated feed.
A weighted average of the (most) traded exchanges.

As i don't really believe all that my broker tells me ever since i compaired ticks.

A clean feed would be a nice to have.
