thx mmillar, ive read it, interesting...anyway i spoke to TS representatives yesterday, seems pretty simple to open an account...they sent me a link where i get some forms to fill in, then i ll post that today (they dont accept the faxes anymore) and ill see pretty soon what this TS s worth...:)...

mmillar thx...helpful how long have u been using it? i suppose u just use it as a whole package right? u happy with it? but it looks like paul is right on the day pattern account...if i wanna trade with the 4/1 margin, 2/1 overnight, i need to have at least $25k on balance on the account and...

Hi all, Does anyone use tradestation here, as a chart software and direct access? Isnt it better than IB?
