[ps2id id=’tradestation-review’ target=”/]1. TradeStation Review Summary
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1604417498030{margin-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]TradeStation is the best day trading platform for beginners and intermediate traders using technical analysis or algorithmic trading. The EasyLanguage for programming has a flat learning curve and even beginners should be able to pick it up within one week.
TradeStation weakness is its customer support and account opening process. Many Quant Savvy users have had delays with opening accounts, contacting technical support or even registering the IP address of a computer.
TradeStation offers free software and free market data, which is wonderful news. You can load 90 days of historical tick data for Futures markets which can easily be exported and stored in a database to be used later. There are no restrictions on historical data and we find we can easily load a 1-minute chart all the way to 1999 within a couple of minutes.
Automated Trading has some limiting features and we still cannot easily trade a portfolio without placing an individual system on its own chart. Despite this we find you can create a strategy with Easylanguage, test it on free historical data (the backrests are slow relative to Multicharts to AmiBroker) and run it live or in Simulation fully automated – the whole process is so smooth. Even beginners looking for their typical moving average crossover systems can most certainly code, test and run a system live within an hour with ease.
TradeStation review has revealed that as a broker TS is very competitive with trading fees and commissions. TradeStation, when compared to Interactive Brokers, has higher commission fees and it has limited access to market exchanges. However, for the average US Futures, Crypto, Stocks or Options Trader it has all the major market access you will need. If you are an institutional investor, our advice would be to try Interactive Brokers – we perceive that as brokers Tradestation and IB are competing in a different space. We’ve also compared TradeStation vs NinjaTrader vs MultiCharts, where TradeStation has also achieved the overall winner award.
The mobile app is exceptional as shown by the high reviews comparable to the other platforms. It has a very intuitive well-designed user interface that allows quick easy access to place trades, monitor a portfolio, or check account balances in real-time.
TS offers a 1-stop shop (charting, testing, data feed, broker). We have yet to find a system that cannot be implemented with TradeStation – our advice at Quant Savvy to new traders is not to develop your own trading platform it is not going to magically make you money. Your time is best spent developing automated trading systems using already built and tested 3rd party software, if you cannot be successful with a Multicharts or Tradestsation then we question whether your strategy will perform on your own custom-built platform.
Tradestation review has proved that TS is a clear winner when it comes to the Mobile app, easy live Automated Trading, extensive free historical data, free 90-day tick data and a strong charting package.

[ps2id id=’tradestation-tools’ target=”/]2. TradeStation Platform Tools
Scanners, Screeners, Watch Lists, Software tools, Alerts
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1647090562877{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]OptionStation Pro: toolset allows you to build, evaluate, and track just about any options strategy you can think of. Tools are geared to active traders, such as time and sales, market depth, and snapshots that show how your positions are performing.
Radar Screen: Continuously monitors and ranks up to 1,00 symbols in real-time, based on more than 180 fully customizable technical and fundamental indicators, as well as virtually unlimited amounts of custom criteria, through Easy Language (link to the programming language subsection).
3rd Party Data: Plot 3rd party data in a Chart Analysis or RadarScreen window from previously created ASCII or MetaStock (9.x or greater) data files. This allows you to use proprietary data that may have been generated through another application (such as Excel) or that was obtained for exotic markets not currently supported by the TradeStation Data Network.
Trading Apps: Choose from 100s of products which can be downloaded directly to the TradeStation platform offering full compatibility. Options include front end order entry apps or unique indicators or even fully automated trading strategies.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20404″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1601371768880{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599820790722{padding-top: 35px !important;}”]
Placing Live Trades and Trading Technology
Matrix: Combined benefits of a detailed market depth window, a highly advanced order-entry tool, and precise order-tracking systems. The Matrix is the fastest way to enter or change an order, with a single click and/or drag-and-drop simplicity.
TradeStation’s smart order router: elements of both spray and sequential order routing methodologies, depending on the order placed and market conditions at the time. Order logic seeks out and captures as much price improvement and hidden size as reasonably possible within a reasonable period of time.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20405″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1601371959593{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599820801401{padding-top: 35px !important;}”]
Research and News Feeds
News feed: Offers Market Insights, the news is categorized based on the products and sectors. On trading platforms, you can filter the news based on several categories and channels, and you can also search for a symbol.
• TradeStation is not built for performing in-depth company research.
• No traditional fundamental research for stocks
• No mutual funds or fixed-income research
• Nearly non-existent ETFs research experience.
Tradestation Market Insights: Provides news and up-to-date commentary on the markets.
TradeStation Research: App built directly into the website is very dated but provides some info on symbols you want to track, still very limited on what can be achieved.
Portfolio, Risk Management and Software Tools
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1601379084290{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]Trade Manager: this is the only portfolio tool and it displays trade and account activity. All orders are logged to the TradeManager window on a real-time basis when TradeStation is open. Orders are colour-coded so you can differentiate between different order statuses at a glance. The colors are updated in real-time as the status of your orders changes. You can also quickly close positions and cancel orders from the TradeManager window, as well as view your order history.
[ps2id id=’tradestation-charting’ target=”/]3. Charting, Indicators and Tools
TradeStation Charting: TradeStation charting is very simple and practical. Both the browser-based platform and desktop application focus on keeping things simple. We find the layout designs are clean and practical. Web trading is well-designed, and chart trading functionality is superior to many other brokers. In the previous TradeStation review, we compared this trading platform with NinjaTrader and MultiCharts. However, TradeStation fell a bit behind on the charting spectrum and let MultiCharts win.
At Quant Savvy, we load our systems into TradeStation automated software, where systems generate trading orders automatically which are then transmitted in real-time to your broker.
Indicators: There are 274 indicators/studies available with Tradestation. Clients can also share and sell their indicators via TradeStation TradingApp Store, many products are free, but others can range between $50 per month to $200 per month. There is at this time over 1000 products available on the TradeStation app store.
“As you well know, TWS charting is a total nightmare. In a few words, it’s faulty, clumsy, and heavy. Not saying you can’t use it (I do), but it’s full of problems. Some of them are horrible, especially for what I need them to do. I love the IB API though.”
“TradeStation has really great charting, indicators, a language of its own, and reasonably decent fills… but also has sucky tech support/poorly-informed trade desk staff and abysmal software quality, so crashes and freeze-ups are common.”
[ps2id id=’automated-trading-and-backtesting’ target=”/]4. Automated Trading and Backtesting
Backtesting
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If running a strategy with lots of loops on timeframes over ten years, it can take a long time and has been known to freeze. We have had Tradestation 9.5 crash if we perform backtest optimisations using a lot of data.
Tradestation offers Walk-forward analysis as well as Monte Carlo analysis to be able to evaluate your strategy using historical data distributions.It can be challenging to run a portfolio backtest as Portfolio Maestro is needlessly complicated.
Backtests with a large amount of data also take time (unlike AFL – except that tool is not made for live trading).
Backtesting with bid and ask size is not possible.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599823372137{padding-top: 55px !important;}”]
Live Automated Trading
Live Trading Performance: At Quant Savvy we trade our Alpha Equivalence Bot live on both Tradestation and Multicharts connected to Interactive Brokers/Gain/AMP etc. We use every major broker for live trading for our users. The same strategy is traded on different Servers located in the same location. I feel this puts us in a unique position to compare the actual live performance (nearly all other forums and debates on this topic do not see daily live-fill comparisons for automated systems). We have calculated the fill difference between brokers when trading the same automated trading strategy, and we find TradeStation has the lowest latency and better fills, this can sometimes be as much as two tick better with common Emini instruments – read more.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599823363031{padding-top: 55px !important;}”]
Trade Management and Historical Trades
Tradestation TradeManager: The app window displays trade and account activity. All orders are logged to the TradeManager window on a real-time basis. Orders are colour-coded so you can differentiate between different order statuses at a glance. Colors are updated in real-time as the status of your orders changes. You can quickly close positions and cancel orders from the TradeManager window, as well as view your order history. Source
TradeManager Analysis: is used to evaluate the performance of trades completed (open and closed) from one or more TradeStation accounts during a specified date range. You can also filter the report to include/exclude symbols of your choosing. When you click Generate, selected data from your account is polled and a summary report is produced. Once generated, the TradeManager Analysis Report enables you to view information such as total net profit, total number of trades, largest losing trade, and more.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599823398767{padding-top: 55px !important;}”]
Data Stability and Speed
Can be left open for weeks at a time without any issues. Automated Trading systems have no problem working day after day. They have worked on platform stability considerably with recent updates and this shows with the performance.
Live data and historical data are accurate. We have heard from other traders that the workstation for Tradestation 9.5 has frozen many times with as little as four workspaces and total seven charts open – we have not had this occur on our servers ever!
In our experience, the primary grievance is when an automated strategy encounters an error mid-trade and turns off – there is no alert for when this happens, which can be an issue especially if you have a day job.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599823380291{padding-top: 55px !important;}”]
Portfolio Testing and Trading
Portfolio Maestro: It can be challenging to run a portfolio backtest as Portfolio Maestro is needlessly complicated. We ran a simple strategy test of 100 lines to run on 1800 equity symbols. Portfolio Maestro many many painful times, and there are two comments to make: a. Portfolio Maestro’s local database cannot keep all the downloaded data – so you have to reload a lot (or all of it if your computer was just turned on) every time! For me, downloading 1800 symbols of daily data (not intraday) takes about half an hour. b. Including the aforementioned half hour, the total backtest takes about 2 and a half hours.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”18202″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1601373476128{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Nothing beat AmiBroker backtesting speed, however, the lack of API broker plugins and need for more expert coding knowledge to ensure live automated trading functions correctly prevent AmiBroker from being the overall winner for automated trading section. TradeStation, on the other hands, can be nominated as the best day trading platform for automated trading and backtesting.
TradeStation is a one-stop-shop and it is very easy to backtest on an individual market, run a portfolio test, and turn systems on for live trading with 1 click. The platform is both automated trading software and live brokerage. We recommend Tradestation as the best automated day trading platform at Quant Savvy and it is used by nearly 70% of all our users. This TradeStation review, as well as our personal experience, have proved that TradeStation can be left open for weeks at a time without any issues.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1599823997162{padding-top: 55px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#d9e8f4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599822955023{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”]
[ps2id id=’programming-language’ target=”/]5. Programming language
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]EasyLanguage: full-featured programming language designed for traders. Commands consist mostly of regular English words, which makes EasyLanguage easier to learn than more complex programming languages.
Ease of Use: Easylanguage is “limited” compared to C#. Mostly you can get around limitations and you could extend the capabilities via external DLLs. Tradestation has improved there a lot since Object-Oriented EasyLanguage was introduced.
Functionality: Easylanguage is an amazing tool for learning, but problems arise when you have a very large portfolio of systems traded, functions get a little clunky, slow, and need a lot of memory. Backtests with a large amount of data also take time (unlike AmiBroker AFL which is blazing fast). EL doesn’t have good compiler/debugging support in either of the platforms that support it. Many traders use tools like the sharedvar server to expand this functionality to be able to debug subtle mistakes faster and make development a little more fluid.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”18168″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1601374034235{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1647091183409{padding-bottom: 55px !important;}”]Support: Tradestation forum is extensive and active community which has been around for many years. Regular updates by the TradeStation developers.
Learning: App such as Tradestation University is available. There is plenty of learning resources on the TradeStation Market Insights: Source
Videos: YouTube video learning channel for Tradestation is comprehensive as up to date. Source
Compatibility and Design: Tradestation 9.5 workspaces are not compatible with Tradestation 10 which is very annoying. Tradestation is forming a relationship with other brokers like Interactive Brokers through International services such as Tradestation Global. With Global, Tradestation can be used as a data source for charting and automating systems and placing orders directly to an Interactive Brokers account – this is nice addition, especially for many Europeans who already have IB accounts.
Speed and Performance Considerations: EasyLanguage is faster than Python when placing trades (which is slow and primarily used for testing). With Easylanguage it is simple to create and test ideas without wasting time on complex coding exercises. Time spent programming can now be spent testing strategies which will yield better longer-term results. If you want to trade to make money then don’t waste all your time developing custom platforms like so many software engineers. Making money should be the priority.
Resilience and Limitations: Tradestation EasyLanguage also known as Powerlangue is cross-compatible with Multicharts. The majority of our users use Multicharts with TradeStation. Therefore, learning EasyLanguage does give you the ability to use it on Multicharts which can easily be connected to many different brokers including Interactive Brokers.
Tradestation will be limited for overly complex high-frequency arbitrage-type models. It is also relatively difficult to trade a portfolio of systems which can be controlled by a master system (this can mostly be achieved by using Global Variables of ELL collections)[/vc_column_text][blockquote text=”My personal experience is that easylanguage sucks. Years ago I was new to coding and decided to learn easylanguage for Tradestation to code several different strategies. After learning the language and working for months coding the strategies, I ran into several limitations of EL. EL was the first programming language that I learned. I am still pissed off about wasting so much time.” show_quote_icon=”yes” text_color=”#8facc6″][vc_column_text]If you do not have a programming background, then do not reinvent the wheel and waste your time trying to develop your own platform. You need to use off the shelf packages like Tradestation, Multicharts or AmiBroker. We’ve compared TradeStation programming language with others, and all TradeStation reviews have proved the advantage of EasyLanguage. Easylanguage will allow 95% of traders to achieve their indicator and automated trading systems development goals. Moreover, the language is easy to learn and will help you pick up other advanced codes like Python and C++ when your require something more powerful.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1599822766791{padding-top: 55px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#d9e8f4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1601374630191{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]

“Spoke with a representative about having funds transferred out of the account. Never told me there would be fees, only found out when I was missing $125 after settlement. Told that I wasn’t eligible for a refund because I didn’t specifically ask about fees.”
