I've been using CMS's VT for several months for a demo account to trade a few systems but the connectivity issues with their server is leaving me with a lot of reliabilty issues with them. Their charts are great but it's the server reliability that is holding me back from going live and automated with them. What other platforms are available that allow you to write your own trading systems and let it run as an automated system through a brokerage? I know about TradeStation but I don't feel like paying $1200 a year to use it and have open an account with $5000. What has me hooked with CMS is that I can open an account with a few hundred bucks and be able to trade a mini first, 1 pip = $1, let the system run and 'make sure' that my real results are similar to the demo and see if a live automated account connection is more stable then the demo account. The $1 pip value is meaningless I know but if the stability issue is still there and something crashes with an open position and it moves against me 50 pips... that's only $50 not $250, $500....If everything is gravey after several weeks, then trade several mini's at a time...
