good idea, poorly implemented
As a combined charting, analysis, data and order platform, TS is a great idea.
Unfortunately, the limitations of the implementation of EasyLanguage having glaring flaws which could be relatively easily addressed - indeed, the fact that MultiCharts have cloned TS and provided solutions, and Bamboo coded comprehensive EL workarounds in his EL collections, arrays and Maps DLL solution just shows that it can be done. But TS havent done it.
Additionally their failure to implement multi-timeframe tick and time based charting, and exotic (but useful) chart variations such as range bars demonstrates a consistent failure to comprehensively understand systematic trading requirements.
so while the TS platform tries to be all things to everyone for stocks options and futures, it fails quite miserably.
Although TS has recently launched a UK office, the fact that they STILL havent included european futures for LIFFE or Eurex is the nail in the coffin.
Check out NeoTicker instead. TS is ok for US markets, but there are other platforms that do more, better.
