Hi, Is there anybody using ESignal -> OwnData -> TS 8.3 to trade Euro or Asian stocks with Live data intraday? Can you comment about reliability? I am in the US so probably I would not be nannying the trades. I have a pretty solid system for trading with TS->NT->IB and I would like to add...

Arbitrageur: Thanks for the info I am signing for the demo now. It looks very promising product.

sunseeker888, I would recommend TradeStation. It is comparatively equal to e-signal in quality/features. The problem will be you being that it only have EU indices. So if you trade EU stocks or other symbols you might be out of luck. I am looking to MultiCharts right now. This is the...

There seems to be not much entusiasm for MC. Can somebody reply if using MC with Vista Ultimate x64 bit. Any issues there? I am specially interested in see if there is any memory limitations. How many charts with strategies have you been able to open? How backtesting compares to TS? I forgot to...

alfiemal, It look like you are a good candidate for automation. Not sure what you platform is but I have 2 strategies in auto mode using Tradestation. My setup is TS->NT->IB and I run them in hundred of charts with out any problems. If you invest the time to write the rules for entry exit you...

Is there anyway to do this everyday before the close of the day (5:00 PM for IB) and then exit the trade as soon as posible (When the asian/european market open) with a limit order? This way you can make the profit of the interest differential and cut down the exposure to currency movement? Also...

Arbitrageur: Thanks for the info, it looks like TS has gotten real competition now. I am currently using the TS->NT->IB setup which it is being rock solid. Can anybody comment in the order manager that MC has for IB, Is this stable? Does MC run in Vista x64? I really need meeeeemooooory. I...
