Is anybody using tradestation?
How much it cost to use TradeStation (if you don't want to open an account with them), where can you get it, and is TradeStation better than MetaTrader,dealBook?
Thank you

I use Tradestation for FOREX and I spend $199 per month. I am very satisfied with the charting tools they offer and the accuracy of data feed.

Only missing thing is playback feature. If you want to re-experience your trading session, that is not possible with Tradestation.

For this reason, I subscribed to a free-monthly trial of eSignal, where the playback feature is available.

I believe I canceled the subscription after a couple of hours or so. Tradestation is by far superior and more friendly to use.

I am not familiar with Metatrader so I cant answer this question.

However, correct me if I am wrong, Metatrader is free while Tradestation costs $199 per month.

I tend to believe that whatever you can get for free is in most cases garbage or low quality products.

it's not really free ... they are being supported by brokers that pay to use metatrader as their platform. It's good enough for my everyday trading. I still don't understand what's the big deal about paying for charting services...is it for the indicators?

In some cases you are right, but as you know in this country there is no such thing as free lunch.
A good data feed is something related to the broker not the software and I think that's the important think. Metatrader allows you to do many things, I'll find out the difference (if there is ) when I'll start using tradestation.
