All TS users - There is 9.1 beta 3 version available now - which introduces chart based trading. Haven't explored much yet. Thought of passing the message out..

Any changes with backtesting?

- this probably is an old news - they have introduced WFO in 9.x( not sure if it was part of 9.0 as well or not)
- Portfolio Mastreo (text below):
------------------
We are very pleased to announce that after many months of integration, Portfolio Maestro is now available to the entire TradeStation Test Program. Portfolio Maestro is a professional-level portfolio back-testing platform, which allows you to evaluate your strategies on a basket of symbols, and provides you with an in-depth and unparalleled analysis of the results.

While launched in its own platform, Portfolio Maestro is very closely integrated with the TradeStation platform, accessing strategies and data directly from TradeStation. Portfolio Maestro puts the power of portfolio back-testing within reach of virtually any trader, while providing exceptional analysis capabilities, including advanced reporting, Walk-Forward Analysis, Correlation Analysis and Monte Carlo Analysis.

Portfolio Maestro is being made available to the entire TradeStation Test Program, for a limited time, with no subscription fee. So we welcome you to download Portfolio Maestro, using the link below, and begin exploring its features and capabilities.
------------------

- Good thing about the chart based trading - They have opened up OOEL to customize buttons as needed and one can program - what the button click does. Lot of possibilities.
- also -they have introduced - mouse click detect event - this would pass all the bar information and can be passed to OOEL to act accordingly - lot of possibilities here as well.

Thanks.

ALways behind the ball. I used to use them....
Very dissapointed by their brokerage fees and margins etc.
Could tell you more but Big Mike might get annoyed.

Got the 9.1 update yesterday that has chart trading. There's an option to enable chart trading, but when I have it, I could not drag and drop the stops. They do update when I move the stops from the matrix as one would expect. I'll post some screen shots later if anyone is interested.

Regards,

Mike, I don't know if it's a change as I don't have TS (thinking about it though), but their Portfolio Maestro is apparently new. Here's a brief video, 2nd one down:

I'm looking for a robust backtester for my stock and option investing, so it has my interest....

Thanks. I was looking for major improvements after their acquisition of Grail. I wonder what their plans are, to keep it a third party add-on?

Here's a chart with my notes on it. Coincidentally, right after I took this screen shot, TS crashed. First time it has crashed in over a year. I'm still sticking with the matrix.

Thanks for that. Have you tried MultiCharts 7 or MC 8? How would you compare the interface and strengths/weaknesses between the two?

Mike
